Humans of SnapPack

This entire summer, all of us LTers had one day a week that was not only one of our off days, but also our project day.

Your project group is made up of people from different departments, schools and states. And looking at the bunch that I had the privilege of joining, that was exactly what our group represented; uniqueness in each individual. We weren't all introverts or extroverts, coffee drinkers, athletes, or musicians. Not everyone would choose a jammed pack day of adventure over a relaxing day staying close to the Y. As I'm reflecting after our final project day that was yesterday, it is clear to me how fairly random, yet perfectly crafted my project group was for me this summer.

I wanted to make an attempt at capturing the personalities in each person that contributed to making Thursdays such a joy to look forward to. And also, I want to brag on how beautiful each individual is.


BEKAH. Bekah is original in everything. In her humor, her style, her friendships and even her relationship with the Lord. She's truly one-of-a-kind. 


NATHAN. Nate is a humble, caring man of God. He has a heart for every person he encounters, and desires to share God's love to the lost. (Those calves, doe)


KAILEY. Kailey lives her life to serve. Between serving God and serving others, she is one of the most selfless people I have ever met. 


IESHA. Iesha has the gift of lighting up a room with her smile and laugh. She is incredibly sassy, yet sensitive and reactive to people in hurtful situations. I'll miss watching you sleep. #roommateprobs


MARGARET. Marge is constantly seeking the beauty and creativity in things. There's never a dull moment and even the slightest errand that needs done will turn into an adventure. 


PRINCE. Prince joined our group about halfway through the summer as an international student from China. He is incredibly eager to improve his English and says he's looking for his princess. 


JACKIE. Jackie runs on determination. She always looking to challenge herself, whether it's growing in her faith or tearing it up in athletics. AND HER DIMPLES. 


JOHN. John has the ability to make you laugh when just discussing what he had for breakfast. Every word that comes out of his mouth has purpose, even if it's informing us that it's "9:00"...still.


JEANNA. Jeanna has spunk. She's a tiny person with a huge heart for people. She'll make you feel loved and be vulnerable with you, creating open relationships with people surrounding her.


ALEX. Alex would sacrifice his opinion on something in order to fully let others be heard. He'll make sure you feel comfortable in a situation, before he moves on comforting the next.


JOSH. Josh is passionate and doesn't do anything halfway, including his relationships and musical talent. Also, you can be a mile away and hear his distinct voice. But seriously. 


STEVEN. Steven isn't afraid to tell you what he thinks. He's fearless in sharing his struggles that most of us push under the rug. He's goofy and when he truly loves people, he'll make sure you know.


HI, I'M MADI. 


MARK. Mark continuously pours truth into people's lives. He has the God given gift of evangelizing and doesn't waste a second with it. He has demonstrated to us how a Godly family should look. 


ARIEL. Ariel is blunt and sarcastic. And when you put those two together, you get the truth delivered to you in the funniest way. She's an artist and makes sermon notes a beautiful visual. 


The legacy of the SnapPack lives on.
