♥ Chapter 7: Reading and Writing ♥

Two of my favorite things to do are reading and writing. So, it only makes sense that Olivia does too. :) To recall what happened in the previous chapters, click the links below.

♥ Introduction to Olivia's Summer Vacation ♥

♥ Chapter 1: Welcome to the Farmhouse! ♥

♥ Chapter 3: A Surprise for Everyone ♥

♥ Chapter 4: Fishing and Journaling ♥

♥ Chapter 5: It's Time to Skate and Play Laser Tag! ♥

♥ Chapter 6: What a Spectacular Safari! ♥

Olivia hopped in her bed, pulled up the covers, and turned out her bedroom lamp. She was totally ready for bed after this long, tiring day of outdoor and indoor activities. Whoops, thought Olivia, I forgot to write about the zoo in my journal today! She quickly turned the lamp back on and grabbed her bedside journal. Remembering today's activities, Livi wrote:

Dear Diary,
What a fantastic day! We enjoyed laser tag and visiting Spectacular Safari Zoo! We saw the seals, lions, gorillas and camels! See ya later,
Love, ♥Olivia♥

Smiling with contentment at her journal entry, Livi returned to bed and quickly fell asleep.
Olivia woke up the next morning, ready for today's events. To start off her day, she began reading the Bible. Olivia studied God's Word and learned a Bible lesson. Here are a few verses that she read from Psalm 37:
"Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday ... The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him." After she read Psalm 37, she wrote another journal entry.

Dear Diary,

Reading Psalm 37 today. Remembering not to worry about ungodly people. Keeping the Lord my stronghold in times of trouble.

Love, ♥ Olivia ♥
