Summer Intern: Meredith Harper

Hey girls!  First off, let me say that I am ECSTATIC to get to be apart of Millbrook’s Student Ministry this summer.  I’m sure the boys are great, but y’all are the group that I am especially excited to get to know!  Because we’ll be spending a lot of time together, I wanted to tell you a little about myself. 

I grew up in North Augusta, SC and graduated from Midland Valley High School in 2009.  I actually just graduated from Clemson University on May 10, 2013 with a degree in Psychology.  Yay, GO TIGERS!!!  In September, I will be moving to Hereford, England.  I know most of you have never heard of it, but it is a little town on the English countryside, about two hours outside of London.  While there, I will be apart of a discipleship program, called the Leadership Academy, at Freedom Church.  I will be there for a year, and then I hope to come back to the U.S. to get my master’s degree in Christian Counseling.

Ok, enough of the boring background stuff!  I LOVE coffee…like I’m one of those people that has to have it every morning.  So, if anyone ever needs a buddy for Starbucks runs or hangouts at New Moon Café, I’m your girl!  I’m a dancer, and I’ve heard a few of you are, as well.  I’ve been dancing since I was four and even danced throughout college.  So, needless to say, I love a good dance party!  You’ll learn that I’m kind of a dork.  I like to read.  My favorite book of all time is “The Great Gatsby”.  I like to write.  Two of my best friends and I just started a blog (Coffee Table Trio).  Like most girls, I love to shop and just love clothes, in general.  Putting together new outfits is fun for me, whether they’re for me or someone else!  I love going on new adventures, travelling, and exploring (probably part of the reason I’m moving to a new country).

One thing you’ll learn about me is that I’m an open book, for the most part.  If you ever want to know anything about me, I’ll usually tell you.  I hope that over the summer, you’ll learn to trust me.  I’m a big sister, so I’m used to listening to all kinds of stories.  Throughout our time together, I pray that God will shine his light over this group and create a bond between all of us that can’t be broken.  I have faith that he is going to do something BIG in this group.  I don’t know what…I just have that feeling, ya know?  I may not know all of you yet, but I already know you’re all BEAUTIFUL, because our Father made you just the way he wanted you, and he makes all things beautiful.  Can’t wait to meet each of you!  We’re seriously going to have so much fun!

Love y’all tons,

Meredith Harper
