Summer Hiatus

Okay, before you say anything.. I know it has been far too long. Unfortunately, I do not have much of an excuse for why. I could say that I've been busy, but that isn't quite the truth, and I could say that nothing worthy has happened but we all know that isn't true either. The real truth is that I have just been uninspired, to say the least. Writers block tends to hit me pretty hard most of the time. I go through long, drawn out periods of time where words just seem to fail me. Even with all the right tools in front of me (like fairytale proposals, or something like that), I can't seem to put pen to paper, or in this case...fingers to keyboard. Maybe in this case, I told the proposal story far too many times to feel like it was worthy of writing down? Who knows.

Regardless of my strange hiatus in the blogging world, here I am. As I sit here describing my ever present writers block, it seems to be striking again. The one thing I will tell you about what I've learned this summer is this: whenever you are trying to live out what you believe is God's will for your life, expect opposition from every angle. To alleviate any uncertainty about what I'm talking about, I'm referring to getting married next summer (yes, I'll be 21, which means, yes, I am what most people would consider to be "young"). While I have the support of many, many close friends, there has certainly been enough opposition to make someone weary. It is definitely not an easy thing to have some of the people who know you best and are closest to you shut down your ideas of happily ever after. But, at the end of the day, Steven and I are doing what we know God is calling us to do. In the end, as long as you stick to that, you'll be just fine. It's not easy, but any Christian will tell you, it's the most fulfilling thing to be living in the center of God's will for you.
