Peace in the Storm

Well these past two weeks have been a journey of self-discovery for me. It has been an amazing and tearful trip. I can say that through these past weeks I have gotten a chance to experience something that most go a lifetime without even knowing its true meaning, WORSHIP! I was brought to a point of complete brokenness and humility and for the first time I got on my knees and just cried out for “Help Me.” I have never been one to do that. I have always thought I had COMPLETE control over my life, but come on who was I kidding! I have learned that it is not about me and my wants and needs. GOD has a plan and I am just the spectator. It is not Britney’s plan, but His. It is an amazing feeling when you get that point of surrender. (With the guidance from my wise mother) I have tried to turn this experience around. I try not to focus on my heart ache but try to figure out why I am going through it? Why did this happen and who can I help from this experience?
To any young woman reading this, my mother has always told me “to guard your heart.” To guard your heart you have to gaurd you eyes and guard you ears. The junk you let yourself hear and see affect your heart too.I always thought I knew exactly what that meant, but I didn’t. I don’t think it is something you really understand until you have been through it. But if sharing my experience can help you, then I am willing to bare all to save you from making the same mistakes. You have to protect yourself (for yourself and your future mate). Do not give him ALL OF YOU! Set barriers in your relationship and STICK TO THEM. I will be the first to tell you it is hard but it is worth it. Hold each other accountable in your relationship or have your friend to hold you accountable. It hurts worse in the end if you don’t. Hey if he is the one….he will guard your heart too and treat it will all the care.
I hope this can help you make wise decisions in your life!

Heart ache and Summer Plans

Well, a lot of things have happened since my last blog. Jonathan and I are not longer together. I ended it. He has some things he needs to work out first. It's been the worst week of my life, but I've had some awesome friends and family to help me through it. Thanks to all of yall!
Through all of this though I have learned a lot about myself. I have decided to take the summer off and go to Atlanta with mom, dad and Cari. I think it is time to give myself a break and see the family while I have a chance to. I will be leaving in sometime in May to head up that way. So, yal come on up too and we can all go to Six Flags!!! I am planning on returning to USA for the Fall semester and will finish school in Mobile. I am also making another change and moving into the new housing complex on campus, The Grove. I am so excited!!! I will be living with one friend I know of and then I will have another roommate too.
Another change is I have decided to go back to my original major (BMD). It is going to be a lot of years but I want to be a dermatologist. I will be able, in the next few weeks, to shadow a dermatologist and ask her questions. I am so excited about this opportunity! There have been a lot of changes in the past 3 years, especially in the past year, but I am looking forward to this year. I have a good feeling about it. Well, until next time....just keep smiling!

"Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're up to."

Hey and welcome to my blog!! My name is Britney and I am a student at South Alabama. My life is crazy mostly because I love to spend time with my friends and family. I love to be the life of the party and I make no excuses for my fun personality. I hope you enjoy getting to know me...and probably the people I spend my time with (sorry guys!) through this blog. If you don't want it to end up on here, SORRY! hehe!!

Feel free to comment whenever you want!
