This morning I woke up at about 6 am which is way too early for me. So after laying there trying to fall back asleep, I decided it was time to get up and read my bible for a bit before the day of classes began. This is was I was encouraged by this morning.
"In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation." Psalm 5:3
I was absolutly motivated by this for it reminded me of the joy that comes from starting out my day with my God. For he has created me in my inmost being and loves spending time with me. What better than to wake up and pray to the Lord. Begin this morning with the one who LOVES spending time with you:-)

Brand New Year Brings Brand New Things
Hey all! It's been way too long since I have last updated this and completely appologize. Its seems as though I am more involved with blogging when I'm at school here in B.C. So here's the update of this year so far!
I got to school about 3 and a half weeks ago for the leadership training I needed to do for my position as a resident assistant here at Columbia Bible College. Which means, I'm more like the "mom of the hall". I lead meetings each week with the girls in my unit, in my dorm as well as many other things. But anyways, I absolutly LOVE it! It's been a challenge as well as a blessing in my life so far and I really look forward to the rest of the year as an RA. Also, about two weeks ago I started working as a Student Ambassador on campus which means I go around to churches and schools and talk about CBC and get people to check out our school! I also call prospective students and encourage and fill them with info and answer any questions. It's awesome to be paid for this kinda job. There's alot of other little things that I randomly do and so far I think I'm gonna like it.
Last week I auditioned for the chapel teams here at CBC and instead of getting on one of those, I got on the Vespers worship team! I couldn't believe it! Vespers is a Tuesday night worship service here at school that is open to everyone! Students and the public! It's an amazing service and I really look forward to being a part of it this year. Totally unexpected!
Besides all of this amazing new CRAZINESS that God has brought into my life, I have been really enjoying my classes here, all 16 credits. As of lately, I spend a few hours everyday reading in the library and studying (totally not the normal Britt). Last year I would spend only a few hours a week and that was ONLY if something was due. There's such a new joy and excitement in learning this year. I really look forward to seeing what else the Lord brings into my life! Pray that I can jumble this all! There have been some changes in the Youth Work program here and its so exciting and such an answer to prayer! They have made it to where in your 3rd year in youth work you go out on an internship ANYWHERE. I have been thinking and praying so much about my family and how much I really want to be closer to them. Don't get me wrong, I love being away from home and on my own. But having such an amazing family doesn't make it any easier. I hate missing out on my little brothers life. I am a mentor to him, we're like buds! So not being around him is so difficult. Also, with Alex moving back to Salem, I would love to be closer to him so that we can actually get closer! So anyway, next year I will be able to be AT HOME and work at a church as an intern. I will also be continueing some studies as I'm at home, but then I will be back here for one more year to finish off my degree in Youth Ministry! It's just so awesome to see the blessings! Count your blessings!!!!
I hope everything is going AWESOME with all of you and would love to hear from you. If you can't write me on here, E-MAIL ME! Update me on everything going on in your lives! Brittylou25@wvi.com

In Christ,
