So exciting! :D We had one with my mom's side last summer. We're going to rent a "manor" all for ourselves. =D<br />Besides that I don't know what we'll be doing this summer... I'd like to get a job.

Not knowing exactly what I am doing next in my life is something I have been struggling with. Thank you for posting this. It affirmed that I am where God wants me right now and that I can just enjoy life! Thank you again. I know that God is going to use you in mighty ways this summer and in 2017 as a whole. Keep shining for Him right where He has you!<br /><3, Lydi<br />P.S. You are graduating this May?!?! I had no idea!!! Good job!!!!<br />P.S.S. Umm.... can I have a little (or a big) hint about where you're going on your trip? ;) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522671761545702109.post-13828105260761202592017-03-17T20:47:46.604-04:002017-03-17T20:47:46.604-04:00Wow, this post is really well timed. I've gott...Wow, this post is really well timed. I've gotten my hopes up for this high school summer writing program at a college I'm interested in, but I don't even know if I'll be able to do it yet (I just found out about it and only have limited time to apply and scrape together money and the other things I need). I, too, have been telling myself "don't get too invested; otherwise you'll be reeeaally disappointed if you can't go" and "if it's meant for you, it'll happen". But of course I'm all excited anyway. <br /><br />Your post has really given me perspective, and reminded me that when God says no, we shouldn't pout or whine or be angry. We should smile, thank Him, and look on the bright side. I'm going to remember this post when I feel myself getting too worked up, and remind myself that "the Lord will work out his plans for my life—for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever" (Psalm 138:8)<br /><br />I hope your summer turns out lovelier than you could've imagined! :)<br /><br />O | <a href="http://lifeasyounglady.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life as a Young Lady</a>O Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01311204980320477371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522671761545702109.post-61928609618591138092017-03-17T20:07:07.768-04:002017-03-17T20:07:07.768-04:00Aw, I'm sorry you're not going to get to w...Aw, I'm sorry you're not going to get to work at that camp! But OH WOW, you're graduating in May - that's SO COOL, GRACIOUS. <br /><br />This summer? Well it's all up in the air right now, but I'll probably be learning to drive, procrastinating on writing (WHAT ELSE IS NEW), and spending time with a new sibling, come August (part of my family says that August is fall but NO AUGUST IS SUMMER). <br /><br />Also I'm wearing green. I even drew a green flower on my arm two days before today JUST IN CASE I forgot. I'm not getting pinched *crosses arms defiantly* xD. <br /><br />~ Savannah <br />scattered-scribblings.blogspot.comSavannah Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16668452024211579085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522671761545702109.post-29537841953123194382017-03-17T19:11:48.245-04:002017-03-17T19:11:48.245-04:00Lol!
