Graduation

I graduated from high school last Friday, and had the great privilege of presenting one of my poems as part of the ceremony. The theme verse for the graduation was Nehemiah 6:9, which reads: “For they all wanted to frighten us, thinking, ‘Their hands will drop from the work, and it will not be done.’ But now, O God, strengthen my hands” (ESV).

My poem focuses around that theme. In it I take a look at the fears that surround any big step in life, as well as the confidence we can have in the Lord as we step up to face those fears.
