Summer. I've never been a huge fan myself. But, this year, I decided it was going to be different. I know, I know...I say that EVERY year. But, So far I have made it to be true already. I have already gone to the lake once...and it's only JUNE 6TH! I don't know about you, but I am proud.
I honestly didn't expect it to happen, but thank GOD for best friends that ask you to do something on a whim, makes it happen, and makes me stick to what I said I would do. Yup, that's my Jessica for ya! She always does that for me. I sometimes have a hard time keeping to what I say I wanna do cause I either get bored, tired or just wanna go inside. The last week, though, I have fallen in LOVE with being
outside! After we went to a local lake close to my hometown, I have been spending a lot more time than usual in the fresh air. Besides, why else would God have put it there anyways?!
Another thing that I know for fact is going to be different this year is that I already have two trips planned. Yes, that is quite a new occurrence for me. I am going to Colorado next week for a friends' wedding. And then in July I will be going on Vacation with my best friend(pictured here) in Florida with her sister(also pictured) and some of their family. Until last week I wasn't excited much, but after our little road trip to the water, I am ecstatic about going to a real beach for the first time!!!

Reason number 3 that this summer is different already is my boy..... :)
This is the first summer I have ever had a significant other, and I am enjoying him SO much! It's crazy how God makes you so comfortable in life as you know it, then He changes it, and He makes that home. I love it. I love how God works.
A song that has been stuck in my head lately, though, is one I don't remember the title for but I remember the most important part(to me!).
"If home's where my heart it then I'm out of place." And that's so true this summer. I know I am where I'm supposed to be, but I can't wait for the day when this little town is no longer my forced home and I can live where my heart feels at home: Pennsylvania.
Jeremiah 29:11 " 'For I know the plans I have for you', says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.' "
In this time of separation from my honey, I keep this verse in mind. It's one that has been with me always, but right now, it's what I hold onto. God is faithful. "This too shall pass."
