All summer long I've been planning this amazing post about everything I'm doing.
I had great plans for this summer. It was to be the best summer ever.
It started with being more involved with the youth group. Retreat, the Atlanta trip, Horizons, weekly devos. Lots of traveling. the cruise to Mexico. Atlanta. Trips to Memphis, Nashville, Cincinnati. Friends and friends galore. My wonderful jobs. My wonderful apartment. My wonderful boyfriend.
But I think when we get too busy with our plans, God decides to bring us back to His Plan.
I got laid off of both of my jobs. Because of that, I was unable to do Horizons. I can't afford to do as many things as I'd like. I don't know what kind of job I will get or where. I don't know if I will have to move and lose my great apartment. Or move closer to my boyfriend. I don't know if I'll be able to make my rent, much less go shopping for frivolous decorations for my apartment.
This is not MY summer. This is God's summer. He gave it to me. He knows how it will end. He will take care of me. I must change my plans accordingly to fit HIS will.
And through all that, one thing has never changed: This is the best summer of my life. :-)
