Becoming Brittney Nicole

Dear March 2018, You. Were. A. Blur. I remember going on at the beginning of the month how I wish April would hurry up and get here. Then, BAM! You were gone, and I'm left wondering when time started moving so fast. The new youth center at  FCC officially opened, and it's so exciting to have a space all our own. I hope that it becomes a place where God meets us and victories are won. A couple friends and I competed in photography in the  NCCSA Fine Arts Competition and didn't do too shabby ☺ I was invited to go to the mountains with a friend and her family over spring break, and it was good to get away for a few days. Make sure you do things that make you feel small. See mountains, sit quietly, just take time to be. March, I'm sorry for wishing you away so quickly. Thank you for the moments anyway. Now on to new things! Hello! It's been awhile haha. Things have been (and will continue to be) busy in my corner of the world, but ...

Dear February 2018, February, you're the shortest month of the year, yet you haven't  disappointed. While your beginning was rough,your ending was wonderful. Valentine's Day rolled around,and, though it's sometimes tough to enjoy as a single girl, what a great reminder of the people in my life who love me for me, of a Savior Who loved me enough to die to save me. February, you remind me to be grateful for my mom. It's sappy to say, but she loves me, even though she has seen some of the worse parts of me. Thank you for reminding me of that. Change is coming, February. I was able to visit Hobe Sound Bible College last week and see it again for myself. I'm impressed by the people and what God is doing there. It's something I would like to be a part of, so we'll see what happens. :) February, you were full of things that felt like failure. But you were also full of friends and things that felt like home. ...

Dear January 2018, You were a month full of new. New beings. New resolutions. A new year. You were a month of celebrations. My mom had a birthday, and I'm so thankful for her. I finally hit my eighteenth year which I actually was more ready for than I thought. We celebrated with friends, people who mean the most to me, with Japanese, coffee, book shopping, and a trip to the mountains.  You were full of fun, laughter, and experiences I will hold close. Some friends and I gave blood for the first time, which I will totally do again! My school held a benefit concert and raised at least $7,000! We visited Biltmore House and some pretty cool waterfalls. There were snow and a photo shoot and good conversations. January, you were a month in which God showed up for me. I learned that in the roar of life I can have peace. I read the entire book of Proverbs using this awesome Bible plan ! I read some pretty awesome books and saw movies that will s...
