The Israelites finally enter into the Promised Land, not with Moses, but with Joshua--an unlikely hero in his own right. He's a freed slave who doesn't have the formal training of Moses, and yet he's the one who leads Israel home. Interestingly, the priests do not cross on dry ground, like in the crossing of the Red Sea. God requires they get their feet wet this time.
Perhaps this is a requirement of maturity. As we mature in our faith, God will not always part the water completely before us; instead, we will have to walk by faith into the water. After the Israelites cross the Jordan, Joshua stops and they place memorial stones by the river to remember. Memorial stones like these remind us of how far God has taken us.
Graduation is a memorial stone. It is not the end, but a memorial to remind yourself there is more to do. There is significance in stopping along the way to remind yourself of where you're going and how far you've come. It's not the end. We need to keep moving on the journey.
