I am so blessed to be in a really great Summit small group here at UNC. It's only college girls and they are all so awesome. I have grown so much through our time together and have made great friendships because of it. The picture is of most of the girls after we got together to watch the UNC v Miami game. Lauren (one of the leaders) is very disappointed in the number of us who are uninterested in basketball. Anyway, we are all crowded onto her lovesack (the real name of the thing).
About to ride on the giant swing with some sweet freshman girls (and Austin).
Madison about to go and very scared. She was screaming before they even started pulling her up. Check on my fb for the video soon, but I'm warning you, turn the volume down or you may bust out your house windows.
I love refusing to graduate from high school by going on all the fun retreats and camps and stuff that the Summit's student ministry goes on. I love getting to be a part of these students lives and these weekends are just way too much fun to stop going!! And Lake Gaston is ridiculously gorgeous this time of year.
And as tradition dictates, Friday night was filled with dodgeball chaos.
Like I mentioned earlier, adoption has been really highlighted at Summit this summer and a lot of families have taken up the challenge of adopting a child into their home. Well today, while I was stalking another blog (I have a serious addiction haha), I was directed to another family's adoption blog, where I found a link to the coolest thing I have ever seen. (did you follow that progression?)
Check out this website, http://justlovecoffee.com/index.htm. It's a company that sells fair trade coffee and then part of the proceeds goes to a family going through the adoption process! What?! As an absolute coffee addict, this is right up my alley, even more than cute t-shirts. I mean, coffee is something that I would buy anyway, and now I can help someone bring their child home, just by drinking my morning coffee!! That's so brilliant (random, as my roommate pointed out, but brilliant!)
Needless to say, I'm about to order some. And the link to the Summit family's specific page, so that the money goes to them, is http://justlovecoffee.com/TheMcGees. This is seriously cool!
