Thoughts and what nots...

Well as of right now i am bored out of my mind. I am so use to having 500 things to do in a given week. For the last, going on 2 weeks i have had nothing schedules that i have to do, other than staying busy hanging with friends not much going on. Its amazing how we can get so use to going,going, and going that when we have just a few weeks to relax we don't know how...

I start working in July at Hide and Seek Day Camp www.hideandseekdaycamp.net but until then i don't have too much going on. I finding myself trying to fill my days with stuff to do and places to go, people to see. Its just funny to me...

I am excited though with all that God is doing in my life these days! I have the most AMAZING FRIENDS!!! God has truely healed and retored some friendships!! Also i am just growing and learning about my awesome and amazing Savior!! I can't even begin to explain all that im learning right now...im just excited and in love with Jesus. This last Mon i came home from hanging with a friend and my mom looked at me and was like Brittney you are glowing...and for the life of me i didn't know what she meant. When i thought about it i knew what it was...its was Jesus...i am just gittie over Jesus!! It exciting!!! I have never been more content and satisfied with were God has me. I know i am exactly where God wants me. I made going to NorthStar Church www.northstarchurch.org permanent and since then door after door has opened. No because im at North Star but because of obiediance. If I'm learning anything...its to listen to God and do what He says!! Take God at His Word!!

I do not take credit AT ALL for where i am at. My friend told me something that stuke out...we were just talking and he was being funny,but he said, God is proably just still working on your guy cause he has to be able to lead you spiritually. Honestly what i wish people understood is that God Word has its own power...i don't take credit AT ALL for any life change, or good advice, or wise counsel i may give. Its all Christ in me. It not because i have it all together. Cause i SURE don't! Without Jesus and without God's Word i would be in pit!! A BIG PIT!! Sometimes is frustrating when people think you have it all together...they have no idea how difficult it s to live in here!! Sometimes i want to tell all the people in my head to SIT DOWN...hahaha ya know! Alli do is run to throne of Grace and Mercy!! And get into God's Word which is living and active and powerful. You closest friends need to be people who love Jesus and spur you on, and have people older than you that you can learn from, people your age to do life with, and people younger than you to invest in. Its all who you surround yourself with, to do life with. What you let in...thats what i wish people understood was the secert. It just makes me thankful when people say things like that. I wish they knew i don't always have it together...i just love Jesus!! Thats it!!

New stuff you gotta checkout!!

NO NOT ONE: Christy Nockels

No better word than from Your lips
No perfect life than what You lived
No greater gift, no not one

No brighter star has ever shined
No better hope for all mankind
No higher mind, no not one

No one has ever known
This kind of love You've shown

There has never been a greater love
Than Your son
No, Not one
And there will never be a name above
No, Not one

With His life You have forgiven us
Hope has comeHope has come
And there will never be a greater love
No, Not one
No image true or sweeter frame
No simple word can match Your name
No greater fame

No not one
No one has ever seen
The depth of Your majesty
No greater call - You gave us all a reason to live
No greater love - You gave us all a reason to give
No greater life - You gave us all a reason to shine
No greater love - forever mine!

WOW!!!

So God has been rockin my world lately!! Well He is always doing something but really alot lately!! I have been doing the study of Esther by:Beth Moore..SO GOOD! Its so cool how God knows just what you need to hear when you need to hear it! I'm trying to find away to summerize all i have learned and am still learning..i have 3 more weeks of study to go...but what God has really hit me over the head with is do not bow down to people. Don't be a people pleaser. Love those who it might seem its hard to love. Also i need to focus on the plank in my eyes and quit worring about the stick in my friends eye. Just being real with God and laying it all at His feet and even when its hard to see God in a situation trusting He is in it...He has everything under control!!
Also just got in the mail all the Sessions' from Passion 07' : Got me some Louie Giglio, John Piper, Beth Moore, Francis Chan, and others!! The Beth Moore one is doing a number on me!! Just talking about incesuries!! Its a session that is just for women and its so good!! I was listening to it in my car and i had to pull in the Chick-Fil-A parking lot and sit and listen for a min and just let it all sink in!! God is really working on me...and im praying that God will help me not let these stupid things the enemy keeps trying to bring up destract me from What all He is doing!!
I know there is a person i need to talk to about a situation and when the time comes, its comes!! All is God's hands..i just have to follow!!!

FINALLY..pics from Disney 09'

Some friends of mine from Bible Study ran in the Disney Marathon in Jan 2009 and so a group of us from Bible Study went down to Disney with them to 1) moral support don't ya know 2) GO TO DISNEY..haha. So here are just some pics....i can't put them ALL up cause there are too many but i'll put the some so you can get the idea...
Also side note..having nothing to do w/ anything. my best friend and I watch High School Musical 3 tonight..it was so good...we are such girls...we actually cried at the end..hahaha...sad i know..hahah gotta love it...but anyway back to picks. The group that went was A.J,Matt,Nathan,Austin, Lindley,Megan, Jessica, Megans' Parents Tony and Kim, and me of course!!

Romanced

God truely is the lover of my soul. He knows just what to say or do to just capture my heart.Other than through His Word its always through song. So many times i just don't know what to pray. I have no idea how to express in words what on my heart. Which is why its so comforting to know that God knows my heart. And there are three songs that i have heard before but tonight God just used them to give me words to praise Him. Just to show me that He is near, He knows my hearts longings, He knows and he is near. And in my heart i know that to be true and these three songs are just my prayers, praises to my King and Lord Jesus!! Who knows me so intimiatly it blows my mind. In His name my enemies scatters, In Him i can rest for nothing can touch me for i am in Christ. Satan may try and still my joy but my joy comes from the Lord my hope is in Jesus not people or things. I am a child of the Almighty God, i am safe in the shadow of His wing! He is my comfort...may the lyrics to these songs be your prayer as well!!!

Love and Blessings
Brittney

For in the fullness of who you are
I can rest in this place
And giving over this my journey Lord
I see nothing but your face
And I bow down, humbly I bow down
Humbly I bow down I bow down
Let me know that you have loved me first
Lord me the weight of my response
For you have longed pursued my wandering heart
I choose to glory in the cross Yes, I will choose to glory in the cross

I can rest in this place and giving over this my journey Lord
I see nothing but your face and I bow down humbly I bow down
Humbly I bow down I bow down

The secret of life is letting go, The secret of love is letting it show, In all that I do, In all that I say, Right here in this moment, The power of prayer is in a humble cry, The power of change is in giving my life, And laying it down Down at Your feet, Right here in this moment Take my heart, Take my soul, I surrender everything to Your control, And let all that is within me lift up to You and say, I am Yours and Yours alone, Completely This journey of life is a search for truth, This journey of faith is following You, Every step of the way, Through the joy and the pain, Right here in this moment Right here, right now, and for the rest of my life Hear me say .I am Yours and Yours alone, Completely-

At some point i will upload some pics from my trip to Disney i went on with some of my friends. If i could go back and redue the trip and not be constipated and PMSing that would be great i prob would have been way more fun...then i was at times. but i still had a good time..considering. so i will out up some photos at some point...

So for now enjoy Perry Noble and NewSpring Church and also i am reading 3 books...
"When godly people do ungodly things" Beth Moore...SO SO SO GOOD!!!
