A week at Panama City Beach for RUF's Summer Conference with some sweet students; we had lots of good teaching, worship together, and relationship building. I'm excited to see where some of these relationships go this Fall!
A lovely trip to St. Louis with some of my favorite people to watch a beautiful friend become a beaming Mrs. H... Tears were supressed so I could play viola, but it was one of the most beautiful weddings I've been to with both the bride and the groom glowing. Everything about it just felt right.
Then, I spent a week chaperoning a youth trip to Camp Ridge Haven with my church's youth group. I had time to get to know 4 sweet girls, and also see sister #5 who was working there all summer and having a blast! This is me with our youngest girl - quite a cutie!
The end of July was busy, including fundrasing trips to Athens, GA and Birmingham, AL, with RUF training in Atlanta squeezed in the middle. Lots of neat lessons & encouragement I could mention. No pictures.
But Birmingham also meant a wedding shower for another dear friend with more favorite people. (okay, maybe another more conventional term would be best friends!) :-)
And last, but not least, a lovely week of vacationing in Canada with family. Canoeing, reading, giggling, resting... good descriptors for an awesome trip!
And now, this weekend, in fact, the craziness of the Fall semester at Davidson starts back up. After a relaxing summer, I must admit I'm slightly anxious about how it will look. But then, I've gotten to hang out with a few students already this week as they start to trickle back in for pre-school activities, and suddenly I'm reminded why I'm here and why I'm so excited for the crazyness of the fall. I love these students, and I'm excited to see where a new semester takes us!
Please pray for us as we kick off Large Group and Bible Studies this semester, and as we seek to serve these students and reach out to the new freshmen!!
Until next time!!
