It’s hard to think of a person who is as much fun to be around as this pretty lady!

Courtney Clark Cleveland is the kind of best friend we all want!
Think about your best friend!
What do you love most about them and why?

I used to live for camp as a teen. LIVED FOR IT.
It pretty much is the best week of every summer in my memory.
I started my period at camp.
I conquered my fear of heights on the ropes course at camp.
I liked lots of boys at camp.
I learned to water ski at camp.
I learned how to make friends at camp.
But what left the biggest impression on me each summer was how I learned to engage with God.
There’s just something about the pine trees and no TV and the conversation that allows your heart to start opening up.
And each summer I would learn a little something more about whom God is and how much He loves me and that He’ll never leave me.
I lived for camp because I loved to be reminded of how real God was to me, but for some reason I seemed to believe that camp was the only place I could find God.
I couldn’t seem to figure out where He fit at school or with sports. I was just way too busy to try to find Him anyway. So I would wait for camp.
Do you have a place where you find God?
I don’t know if you feel the way I once felt – that there was only one place you could engage with Him or if you find it hard to engage with God on a daily basis.
If so, I want to encourage you with Psalm 23. I love it!
Read it. Put yourself in those verses.
He is always with us, you guys.
Don’t wait for camp.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.
He lets me rest in green pastures.
He leads me to calm water.
He gives me new strength.
He leads me on paths that are right
for the good of his name.
Even if I walk through a very dark valley,
I will not be afraid,
because you are with me.
Your rod and your shepherd’s staff comfort me.
Hi there. It’s MONDAY! One of the beautiful things about summertime is realizing Monday isn’t the end of the adventure. You’re pretty much experiencing a never-ending weekend! That….is fun. Here’s what’s happening on the blog this week!! We can’t wait to share it with you.

HOW’S IT GOING!?!
Seriously, is Revolve almost here because I miss your faces. Real bad.
Okay, so we were in the middle of talking about what it looks like for YOU to be a good friend. This fall I want to suggest four ways that you can do this. If you missed the first one – check it out!!!
How’d that go? Did you have a moment where you realized that your friend trusted you with something special?
The thing about asking good questions is that then people might start sharing some really personal things about themselves. When this happens, you have a choice to make – you can hold that information and care for it or you can tell a whole bunch of people about it.
That brings me to my next suggestion.


Sometimes it may seem like everything is all fine and sunny when actually life could be raining really hard on your friend. They may be looking for a break or some relief; you never know. Offer her your umbrella.
The thing about an umbrella is it doesn’t stop the rain or make the clouds disappear, but it does provide a shelter from whatever storm your friend might be in.
Being a safe place means being trustworthy. A place where your friend knows she can be herself and share whatever she is going through without judgment. Sometimes it means just being a good listener. Sometimes it means inviting her over to your house for a chilled out sleep over – you know, a simple pizza and a movie kind of night.
To be a safe place for your friend, all you have to do is ask good questions and listen for their response. You’ll know what to do. Just reach for your umbrella.

IT’S SUMMER!! The smack-dab-middle of it actually. And boy is it HOT! I’m in Texas, where are you? If you are at the beach . . . I’m jealous. We love seeing where you all are on WEDNESDAYS here at the ole’ RevolveTour.com – so don’t forget to tell us tomorrow!
Hopefully you are finding some time to relax and enjoy a snowball here and there. In the meantime I thought I’d share a little bit about my summer and tackle one of the questions we get often.
You know, something light and easy.
It’s a tough question and let me say right here and right now, I’m not saying I can answer it, but I was hoping that through sharing a few encounters I’ve had this summer, maybe you’d find some encouragement.
I went to Zambia in June with Hoops of Hope to deliver some backpacks that many of you helped us raise money for by shooting hoops. (Thank you so much btw!!!)

One of the moments that impacted me was meeting a volunteer caregiver named Pavis and her baby girl Joy.

Pavis volunteers her time once a week to visit Monica, who is HIV positive, and provide her care. It is such a long walk for Monica to get to the clinic. It’s a very long walk for Pavis, as well.
Pavis is a mom and a farmer. It’s not like she can hop in her car and run a few quick errands. And it’s not like Pavis has a ton of resources herself. But once a week she straps baby Joy onto her back and heads to Monica’s village to love her.
I asked her why she volunteered so much of her time each week to care for Monica.
She told me, “I lost both of my parents to HIV. This is just my way of giving back.”
Oh.
So let me get this straight.
That’s a really bad thing that happened to you. Losing both of your parents.
And you are choosing to love others and serve out of this tragedy that happened to you.
Hmm . . .
(More stories coming soon!)
