School's not out yet, so it's not "officially" summer. But it feels like it outside! The sun's finally found its way through the chillier, cloudy weather!
A couple of days ago, I spent an hour outside, during the hottest part of the day. I love the sun, but I hate sunscreen (we didn't have any anyway); so...I got burned. It's not too bad. I was wearing a tank top, and shorts, so the tops of my shoulders were burned, my chest was slightly burned, and my legs right below my shorts were burned.
Lately I've found it a little hard to write when I sit down in front of the typewriter. But to inspire myself, I've been listening to my favorite "inspiring" music (Hayley Westenra, Pride & Prejudice soundtrack, Lord of the Rings soundtrack, Narnia soundtrack, and Sense & Sensibility soundtrack), and looking at paintings. Paintings have always made me think about the stories behind the paintings. I've done it ever since I was a little girl. When I drew a picture, I would stare at it for a very long time. The whole time a story would be going through my head about the family. I didn't realize that I was creating stories anytime I drew a picture.
Right now I'm writing a story that I don't even remember thinking of. Yesterday I just sat down and started to type.
I'm going on a 2 week trip this June, to Kansas City! I'm going to the Awakening Teen Camp at The International House of Prayer. I'm really excited about it! I had to choose two class electives. I chose Drama, and the Prayer Room. Be praying for my trip. I still have some funds that need to come in. And also just pray that I would have a good time! Thanks :)
