Yes, graduation was such a odd space; I was actually one who slipped through the cracks in the economic crisis a couple years before the pandemic — but even in that hope was (is) found. Though there was some hick ups in the road in my journey (and maybe yours); regardless of what it looks like or seems like, I hope you continue to recognize the hopefulness. In fact, I found a second chance. This time, with boldness and faith. Because the plans that God gave me (and you) are plans to give me (and you) a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT)

Guess what else? You can show up as yourself: bold. You may not see the scars from those moments, doesn’t mean it wasn’t experienced. But now, with victory and grit.
