graduation
ok so last night was my graduation and it was awesome... i had alot of good things happen to me and one bad. i'll start off first by saying my parents are awesome...They came in the house as i was pealing potatoes for potatoe salad and said they had something in the trunk of their car. i was thinking no way they bought me a laptop, but when i walked outside, after digging in their trunk, i realized they bought me a new car. i totally didn't even see it there. i was so focused on "trunk" that i didn't see it. Well it's a silver 2001 honda accord. the interior is really nice and the exterior needs alittle touch-up paint, but other than that it's awesome. OH and it gets 34 miles to the gallon.!!!!Oh yeah... ok now for the only bad thing that happened to me last night. my new car, the one i'm so excited about. Well, the tire blew or something. long and short of it is i have a flat tire. it's so messed up because the last new car i had my stepmom backed into it the next morning, now this one not 5 hours after having it blows a tire. i think i should just wait a day or two next time before i drive my new car.
Well, like i said, last night was graduation. God blessed me with being one of seven co-valedictorians. So i had/no was privelaged to give a speach. God showed me what an oppertunity He had blessed me with and encouraged me to take advantage of it. So i wrote my speach, they changed it alittle, but left the message the same. My message was that we try to find satisfaction by temporary earthly things that never satisfy. Well what they took out, i put back in during the speach :). Boy but was i nervous. i thought the podium was shaking with me. The gym was packed. i mean i've never seen it so full. And i'm very very thankful for all the guys from church that came out to support me; it really means alot to me guys. Thanks...
So i don't know how well it went or how well it was recieved, but i know that it never had anything to do with my words. the only way those people are going to change is by God's Spirit. After alot of stress, that thought came to me and really gave me some peace.
well that's it for now...peace out!!
oh and I'm offically out of high school... yay

It was an awesome message that will be received, as you said with the help of the Holy Spirt. Not your typical farewell speech but so typical for Jordan Gautreau. I told your teacher that if we could cut you right down the middle, you would bleed the message we had all just heard!!!
We are so proud!!!!
Your message at graduation was awesome!! I knew it was coming, but I didn't expect it to be as powoerful as it was. I"m going to miss everyone, except for you, shae, mickey, and cody...I better still see y'all at church, lol.
