Can I trust God to give me what I need?

It was the last day of freedom before the first day of my junior year in high school. 

My family has a long-standing tradition of going to get ice cream on nice summer days. We live right next to a canal that connects us to a dairy and ice cream store that is one of the best ice cream places near my town. We bike seven miles along the canal to get there. 

I wanted to spend the last day of summer outside, doing something perfect for the weather, so I decided to bike the trip myself. It was a beautiful day: no clouds, not too hot, and the sun was shining through the leaves. The croaking of frogs and the buzz of insects filled the air as I biked past countless happy dogs and people enjoying the nice summer day just as I was.
