radical.

I'm going to be honest... I have some pretty amazing friends- and not just because they are good friends to me.  They do AMAZING things.  They do RADICAL things.  They do things that some people only TALK about doing...

This is one of Chad's very best friends (therefore, that makes him one of my best friends), ROB:

 

And ROB, along with our good friend BOWMAN and two of their friends from Louisiana are raising $50,000 for the homeless in Oxford.  How are they doing this you ask?  WATCH:

worth it.

 

So, I definitely had a pharmacology exam at 7:30 this morning.... and I definitely spent my weekend at the lake.  Some in the WORLD may call that irresponsible, but I happen to think it was the most responsible thing I've done in a while.  This was the third annual "Lake Weekend" with the girls you see pictured above.  I wish I could half-way explain what this weekend is like... but there really aren't any words... it's something you'd have to experience.  Technically, we spend hours and hours sitting in a screened-in porch over-looking one of the most beautiful lakes, but there's much more to it that that.  It's a true RETREAT.  A true time of sharing, loving, praying, encouraging, laughing, cooking, EATING, praising, and understanding. 

I truly couldn't imagine walking away from my exam this morning not having had this past weekend.  I'm refreshed with a clearer perspective, a priority check, and an even greater inner peace that I serve and love a sovereign Lord who has, is, and will always take care of me. 

So even if I didn't do too great this morning... I'd have to say... it's worth it.

and now...

LAKE WEEKEND.

I can already taste the Arley Burger.
