10 days! :)

In a short (but feels long) 10 days I will be moving into my BEAUTIFUL new apartment in Katy, Texas.
WOOHOO!
For those of you who don't know me all that well, you know should know that this is a HUGE deal. For the past 4 years I have lived with family/friends/roommates that I have been placed with. It has all been awesome and such a blessing, but now its time for me to be a big girl. Im officially 100% on my own. I have an awesome roommate, Bethany, who I am so thankful for. Its so cool how the Lord ordained for us to live together.
So, since I am moving into a new place, of course I want to buy new things. I found this beautiful bedding at Pottery Barn about 6 months ago and I have been slightly obsessed with it ever since. I checked online last week to see if it was still there and guess what? Its on SALE! OH MY WORD!
Thank you Pottery Barn for your continued support in my addiction to all things beautiful.
Here is a pic of what my 2nd job will be paying for:

Isn't it so beautiful?
Love it.
Lets just pray I can hold out until I can actually afford it. :)
Love!

What the heck?

I officially STINK at keeping up with my blog.
I have been so super unorganized since I moved back to Houston, maybe it has something to do with the fact that Im living on a couch and out of my camp suitcases still.
Only 2 more weeks and I will be moved into my beautiful new apartment. PTL!
Until then, unorganization is just how it is and I need to deal with it.
Laters.

Tyler.

I decided to start a slew of posts of some of my favorite people from the summer. 

This is Tyler Williams. 

Or Tyla Jew. 

You can call him that too. 

He is by far one of the coolest kids in the entire world. 

Sweet boy is fairly inappropriate at times, but that is what makes him SO FUN!

I am going to miss him dearly when the summer comes to an end in just a short 10 days, but the amazing thing about Tyler is that he is staying at Tejas to intern for the year. Woo Hoo!

Dear friend,
You are awesome and Im so thankful I can call you my friend. I love your attitude and you lovingness towards other. God is truly evident in your life. Love you brother.

My Biffles.

These are the greatest friends I could ever ask for. 

Nelan, Jennie, myself and Meredith

I am SO excited about this weekend!
I will be spending all weekend with the 3 best friends ever. These are my camp biffles. We all have met and maintained a wonderful, God given, friendship for the past 3-4 years.
Friday night starts our last hangout before we all disperse for the fall. We are going to spend the weekend at the West's lake house in Austin. :)
Nelan is heading to school is South Carolina, Mer will be in Brownwood at Howard Payne, Jennie will be at Camp and I am heading back to Houston.
Praise the Lord for these sweet girls and the time I have known them.

Rain.

I love days that it rains and Im stuck in my office with a lemongrass candle and norah playing in my ear. It makes life so sweet. The only thing that could make it better is if I was in my bed watching pride and prejudice.
Mmmmmmm....God is good.

This is me.

I am me.

I am a flake.

I am a dreamer.

I am a lover.

I am a person of passion.

I am happy.

I am emotional.

I am fun.

I am crazy.

I am a people pleaser.

I am a talker.

I am a believer.

I am so many things.

One of those things is random.

I am for sure a dreamer. I am one of those people that when I have an idea, I say it out loud and then sometimes I never act on it. Which then makes me seem like a flake. I just love to talk. I love to speak what is on my mind. I love advice, but I don't always take it.

This summer has been a summer of learning and faith.

I am really growing into my so called "adulthood" and learning its okay to disappoint people sometimes. All summer I have been trying to figure out what is next in my life. It's been a pretty stressful thing to think about. Where to move? Where to work? Where to build community? It's all kind of stressful, but for now I am leaning on the Lord knowing that He has a perfect plan. I really would like to know what that is, but I don't have to know.

Praise God that He is the planner and perfecter of my life.

Here are a couple pictures thus far from the summer...

I really love these people.

Sweet Hanley.

This girl is seriously amazing.

"Are you ready? HECK YES!"

;)

Sweet Jennie Wojtczak.

You are awesome.

Im so happy you have been in my life for the past 4 years.

HOLY COW!

You are a great woman. :)

This man is the jam.

Ryan Fletcher.

You made my summer happy.

Mer and Nelan.

I can't begin to explain how much you girls mean to me.

Our friendship, along with Jennie, is amazing.

God has truly blessed me with incredible lifetime friends.

Life would not be the same without your girls in it.

I love yall so much and count is all joy to share life with you girls.

Yall are amazing.

This is what we call amazing.

These people make my heart happy and have made my summer absolutely perfect.

I couldn't thank the Lord more for such wonderful people. The love that I have for them is huge. They are some of my most cherished friends in life.

Thanks guys for an incredible last summer at Tejas. I will cherish these memories forever.

Love you like a fat kid loves cake.

:)

Tomorrow.

May 17, 2010.

I begin a new journey. Yeah, its only for the summer, but I am super pumped about how much the Lord can do in those short 3 months. Tomorrow I start my summer job at Camp Tejas. For those of you who don't know me very well, this is my third summer at Tejas. I spent the first two all together with an internship in there for the year, so when I left at the end of that second summer, I really didn't think I would ever go back.

Well, all praise, honor and glory goes to Jesus for giving me the opportunity to go back this summer. I know that this opportunity is a plea for me to come back to Jesus. WHAT?!? You say.

The past few months have been a rough one for this little girl. Do I love Jesus? OF COURSE! Do I still have faith in Him? Oh my word, YES! But, Have I completely grown tired and complacent with my walk with Him and my life in general? Uh, YAH.

I have gone through this past few months bored and tired of doing the same ole same ole. I became super caught up with work and school that I didn't even care about anything any more. My fire and passion was gone.

My walk with the Lord also began to sit. I still talk to Jesus, but our relationship has not been that of one that is growing and going any where.

As the summer draws closer, I can't help but get excited about me and Jesus. All summer long I get to fall in love with Him all over again.

I know that these are things I should be doing right now, I know that there are higher expectations for me, but I am human. I have not perfected this. Praise the Lord for grace. I know all that is right and wrong. It just takes a little bit more of a slap in the face to understand that my life is nothing without Him in it.

So, the next 3 months will be about me and Him. Nothing else. I pray that I would be the woman I am called to be, a woman of love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness and self control. This is who the Lord wove me to be. Praise Him for His patience with me and the love that He still has for me. I do not deserve it.

So, tomorrow I am gone. I will try my hardest to keep in touch with my blogging. We will see how busy I will be.

Much love to you and thank you for praying for me.

Peace.

Britt
