Moving on.

To get everyone on the same page, this is what I'll say.

I am a Senior in high school only 1 day less than a month from graduating.

those older than me may say:
"aw man, I remember those days."
or "how cute! he's growing up!"

those younger than me may say:
"I can't wait to be a senior!"
or "that guy is so old! and cool! I want to be like him when I grow up!"
:)

I remember being in elementary, seeing the high schoolers put on plays, or walk down the halls of the school, and just saying to myself.... man, how cool they all are! And when they would speak to me.... oh, how I would feel when they would say things like, "Max! hey bud! it's good to see you! you're the man!"
I'll tell you, I felt like the king of the world! 
or at least my class anyway.

and now I find myself in their shoes, able to make the same impact they had on me.
what an honor!


but here I truly am, about to leave...

goodness how time flies!


be in agreement with me that the Lord will be able to change lives more this next month through me than ever before.

In seismic proportions.

Mark 16:17
 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.


Jesus preformed miracles that got peoples attention. 
(yet gave all the Glory to His Father.)

He did things that people had never seen or imagined 
(yet God was His source, and people new that.)

He changed people from the inside out 
(and they all knew who was God.)

we are called to be JUST like Jesus.

to do even MORE than He did!
John 14:12
12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father."


"Because I am going to the Father."

how beautiful is that!

He took no credit, when EVERY credit in the world was due to Him.
what happens then if we do the same?



some would say, "how in the world do you think you could change an entire school in one month?"

the answer is.......

I can't.

But God can.





Moving on.
