This is my prayer in the harvest

When favor and providence flow

I know I'm filled to be emptied again

The seed I've received I will sow.

The countdown begins!

May 13th: Last day of work!
May 15th: Fly out to Florida.
May 16th: Leave on a boat for the next 4 days for some much needed R&R.
May 20th: Arrive back into Oklahoma into the arms of my love <3
May 21st: Watch my little cousin get married :)
May 31st: Be completely moved to Hennessey.

& that's all I know.

I am giving up my life of comfort. This opportunity is allowing me to completely rely on my God to provide and lead me. & I wouldn't have it any other way.

Change is in the air :)

It's truly magnificent to look back on my past and really see the hands of God at work. He has been slowly molding me into this perfect creation of His.

Change:[cheynj]
verb (used with object)

1.
to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone: to change one's name; to change one's opinion; to change the course of history.

Friday May 13th will be the last day I will ever make a Quiznos sandwich. It's a bitter sweet feeling knowing on May 14th I will no longer have the kind of responsibility I have had for the past 3 years. The next 2 weeks will be followed by a much needed vacation, packing up all my belongings and stuffing them into a storage unit and soaking in the changes in store for myself.

I'm one of those people who has had a certain prayer for quite some time now. It's been one of those prayers that always ended with God telling me "No." I am slowly beginning to see why my prayer always got turned down. It's only because what I wanted for myself, would never compare with what God has in store for me.

God has made me extremely content with what is in store for the future. Maybe because the only thing he knows I have left to do is to completely put all of my trust in Him. And that is exactly what I am doing. :)

I will be moving back to good ol' Hennessey to help on the farm this summer. The past 7 months have been very rocky for my family, so I feel that this is where I need to be for the time being. I already know there will be struggles for the 2 months I will be back home, but in James 1:2-4 tells me to accept these struggles with joy. I will persevere through each struggle with a joyful heart.

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12

In everything give thanks.

Literally. Whether it be raining, or because you are poor, or because you lost your softball game.
Things could always be worse, like a severe drought, you could be blind, or you could be in a wheel chair.


Give thanks for breath, for left over food, and for the junky shoes you wear.

Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Oh Dory..

I was at work today and thought of a great blog topic.

However, I will not be blogging about it.

Thanks Dory.

Every blessing You pour out I’ll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in Lord, still I will say, “blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your name.”

Perfecting my cookie making skills.

Almost a year ago I was attempting to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from scratch. As I pulled my first batch out of the oven something was very wrong. They were flat as pancakes. Now we all know chocolate chip cookies are supposed to raise while they bake. Well these cookies did not.

I could not figure out what I had done wrong. After a phone call to grandma we came to the conclusion to add more flour. Next batch looked exactly the same as the first, but tasted like a flour mill.
What on earth had I done!? I went back over the steps one by one. I then looked at the recipe name and realized it said pumpkin bread, instead of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.

How I managed to pull this one off I have no idea. It was rather embarrassing telling my grandma and mom what I had done, but we all got a good laugh out of it in the end.

These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies have haunted me till this day. Every time my roommate and I are talking with others about cooking and baking, I am always quick to say Brittany has the cookie making skills. I just never mastered the art of making cookies for some reason. Unless they are the no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies. : )

I had a very kind and generous person in my life mow my yard last night. In appreciation I wanted to do some thing for him. What a better time to practice my cookie making skills!

I am very happy to say the cookies are normal! They look like cookies, and taste like them too! I think the brand new cookie sheet my mom got me helped a bit. : )
All in all i mastered a batch of cookies with out destroying them and having to throw them away. Tis going to be a wonderful day!

If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 2 Corinthians 5:13

I have not blogged in a long time.
I started this blog in September 2009. I made a few blogs at first, but I ended up deleting them shortly after when I decided blogging was stupid.
Nine months later here I am.

I realize now the reason why I quit blogging was because I thought I didn't have time for it. Which probably at the time was true. I was a busy woman. Working 45-50 hours a week, taking care of a dog and 2 cats, being involved in a long term relationship and balancing God in my life consumed me.

The only thing that is different now is I am not taking care of a dog and 2 cats anymore & also the obvious. Which, if you do know me, you know what I am talking about. If you have no idea what I am talking about, well then it doesn't really matter anyways.

Time is precious to me. Once today is over, you never get it back.
The words "I don't have time to do this" or "I would love to, but I don't have time" were coming out of my mouth way too often. Things are different now.

I have made time in my life for more important things, rather than the little things. I feel these more important things in my life, which I have allowed to become a bigger part of my life, has allowed me to feel I am spending my time more wisely. I do not feel like I am wasting precious time on useless things anymore.

Now that I am more understanding of my time, hopefully I will be able to write more. It's something I enjoy doing. I also feel it's only fair I share my crazy/random thoughts with others.
