The summer is quickly approaching. A few weeks at Tim Hortons, working dilligently as a coffee and donut salesperson (read as: drive-thru queen), and then off to begin my internship. It's incredibly outlandish to realize that God had been setting up this path for me, since before I was born. I can look back, hindsight (we live in forward motion, but we understand life backwards), to realize that through all of my trials I was being set up for this moment.

Pleasant Vineyard is such an exciting path for me. I have never been to camp. I can't believe that I'm going to be a cabin counselor. Children have my heart. They have the keys that nobody else seems to know how to operate.

I'm disappointed with a few things from the closing semester at school. I had no idea that sacrificing my close male friendships for a closer relationship with Christ would be so hard. I am going to miss B; Colorado is so far from Kentucky. It was his choice, though, to stay at KCU even though he knew that it held nothing for him. But, he pulled away at the same moment I was pulling away. I will have to take this as a lesson learned. I am thankful for it.

P was ridiculous in our parting. I firmly believe we played married for a moment or two. We spent too much time uncovering dusty parts of one another. He lied when he said he would stick it out. He'd always be there. Those were his words. Maybe, I'm the fool for assuming that he was insinuating that he'd be alive and living but not always sticking through rough patches with me. That hurt me, incredibly so. I watched him walk away, angry and awkwardly. I hope he loses that negative chip he is walking around with.

I want to be married. I hate that I am a junior in college and feel like I'm spinning my wheels. I've encountered quite a few men who won't step up to the plate. But, I am praying. God answers prayers. I am confident.
