12 Tips for Seniors as the graduate

My friend Brian Mills (Youth pastor @ Longhollow Baptist in Tennessee posted this - I wanted to give him credit and share it with you. His blog is brianmills247.blogspot.com.  I'm personally looking forward to our Graduate's Class for Graduating Seniors this year at HS Beach Retreat here at Second.  If you are a graduating Senior this is a must!

Here are 12 topics to talk about with Seniors before they leave your home or ministry.  

A great verse to center them all around is Matthew 7:24-27

1.  Who you surround yourself with matters.

2.  Leaders are not defined by their position but by their influence.  

3.  Who you date will eventually turn out to be your spouse - Be Wise! 

4.  Networking is a key component on the road to success.  

5.  Gods call is great than man's call.  

6.  Family must be keep at a high importance.  

7.  Never forget where you have come from.  

8.  Pray Continually.  

9.  Your daily time with God will keep you focused daily.  

10.  Travel often on mission trips.  

11.  Be wise financially.  

12.  Never let success be your Lord.  Keep Jesus as your Lord.  

3 BOOKS I ENCOURAGE ALL SENIORS TO READ THEIR FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE:

1.  Joshua Code by O.S Hawkins.  52 Verses every believe should know.  This is a great 52 day devo for them to read.  

2.  Best Question Every by Andy Stanley.  

3.  Chasing Elephants by Brent Crowe
