What's up Hasbeens!
Initial Thoughts: As you know, CCF is a really fantastic place to meet people when you're a student. In fact, one of those people may have turned out to be YOUR SPOUSE! Angela, Beau, and myself (Becca) have ALL met our significant others at CCF and we go to "CCF Weddings" all the time. We LOVE them. We love that people find someone at CCF who is worthy of their lifelong love and is someone that God created to fit beautifully with them in the holy covenant of Christian marriage. It's freaking cool! This summer alone we've witnessed 2 CCF weddings: the wedding of alums Scott Lowe & Hayley McNash, who met at Fat Mondays (our weekly on-campus outreach lunch) about halfway through their respective college careers. They grew in faith here at CCF and served God in love and are a couple that our current students look up to. Also just this week we saw current student Kim Vongo and alum Shaun Polston commit their lives and marriage to God. As Shaun said in his self-written vows, they met while playing 4-Square on campus (which is, by the way, a super-fun way to do outreach!) with a bunch of CCFers. As a staff, we really feel like God is moving when students come as students and meet the person they were created to be with, even if sometimes it takes a while for them to realize it :) Any of you two or three faithful Hasbeen blog readers have a similar story? We've love to hear it! Leave comments and tell us how you meet your spouse through CCF!
Weekly Update: INTERNS ARE COMING on Thursday! Elizabeth Davidson, Josh Rogers, Adrian Perez, and Laura McDonald are gonna be our fantastic four this year and we are SO stoked to get them on board with us. Keep praying for them and their incredible upcoming year of growth and service!
Exciting Thing Happening Today: We had our last summertime half-Monday today and we were pretty sad to see it go. (Yes, you read it right - we take Monday mornings off in the summer to further our extreme summer rejuvenation period. It's awesome!) Angela spent her morning hanging out with her kids, Abby & Dylan. Beau slept until lunchtime. Becca played video games with her husband and took her dog to play the IM fields. Now we get back to the craziness that is Fall in Athens - pray for our sanity!!!
Other CCF News: We have our leadership retreat coming on August 6-7. Pray for our student leaders as they learn about their roles for next year and start seeking God's will for CCF.

That's it for this week, folks! Look for some awesome ramblings from my esteemed coworkers Beau Mason soon, and tell your friends to subscribe to our blog!
Yours,

P.S. For your enjoyment:Polstons on the left, Lowes on the right.
I met my husband, Grant, at CCF back in 2000 at the Fall Retreat. In 2001, we started dating and got married in 2004. We just celebrated our 7 year anniversary, have one super cute little girl, Cecelia, and are expecting baby #2 (gender unknown) around Thanksgiving this year. If it hadn't been for CCF, we likely would never have met because Grant had already graduated. He was already a HasBeen, but couldn't stay away from CCF and the awesome Thursday night gatherings. Plus, three of Grant's groomsmen and one of my bridesmaids were all people that we had met at CCF!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update Becca, I will definitely keep up the prayers.
