Christmas with Daddy

So today my Christmas was officially started. I stayed the night with my Dad last night, so we could wake up this morning to open presents. It was the first time in ages that I slept in the same bed with my brother, I know some of you are thinking eww, nasty, but it reminded me of when we were growing up. We would always end up in each others bed. That's the best thing about having a brother, you have a built in best friend. =] When we woke up we all went to breakfast, yummy.. Then it was back to the house to exchange gifts. It was a fun time and very relaxing. I wasn't feeling to well but for the most part it was a great day..

Oh Holy Night

Spending time with Uncle Randy and Aunt Kathy has always been one of my favorite pass times. Tonight after attending the sweet Christmas special at church we decided to ride to Avondale to see all of the pretty luminaries. You would not believe how much fun it was and exciting to see all the the people on horses, bells ringing, carolers walking down the street, it was just breathtaking, it was as if we were in our own hallmark Christmas movie. I had so much fun just listening to the kids laughing and the ho ho ho's as Santa made his rounds. There was even this one house with 3 young people, probably in their teens singing in the yard, with a sound system and all. Talk about angelic sounding, their voices were breathtaking, chills ran up my spine.. O holy night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth. One of my favorite songs. Next year I want have a group of people go with a trailer and ride through like the other people was doing.. With hot coca and christmas music blaring.. How much fun would that be?? Merry Christmas guys..

Do we have 70 hours to spare for God??

So the past few weeks I have been completely consumed by the word of God. It's as if when I read the bible now it all makes sense. As a child I used to think how does Jesus expect for you to understand this confusion, but as an Adult I realize my words were careless and his word is immense and very reassuring. The more and more I look towards the bible for comfort, I find answers to my many questions. God really is the all mighty one. He has prepared this book, a novel that explains every single adversity we will face a humans and how to handle them. He has written a book entailing of all the countless experiences we will go through, it’s just mind boggling to me. Did you know that the bible can be read aloud in about 70 hours; a book that many Christians will never read from start to finish can be completely read in that amount of time, some spend a lifetime trying to accomplish this. I am going to start reading my bible tonight, starting on page 1, and just working my way from beginning to end. My goal is to finish it by July 2009. The bible contains 1,189 chapters, 31,101 verses, and 783,127 words. How fortunate are we to have that much knowledge left as a guide to life as we live it on this earth? My prayer today is that all of you rely and trust in Jesus as your savior, clinging to his word as your life standard.

I would like to share with you a bible verse, pertaining to prayer. If we pray for things, that we desire, and pray for them in an unselfish way, GOD will answer our prayers. You may not understand or comprehend his ways but they are always the right way no matter what. He is an all knowing God and truly knows what is best for us. It looks like my blog is turning into Brittany’s Daily Bible Verse Lesson, but it is what it is. I just blog about what I experience and feel, and God is always on my heart and mind. I just hope the verses I stumble across and share can comfort you as much as it does me.

Mark 11:24

Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Filling my HEART with the word of GOD

So the past few weeks I have been completely consumed by the word of God. It's as if when I read the bible now it all makes sense. As a child I used to think how does Jesus expect you to understand this mess, but as a Adult I realize my words were wasteful and his word is immaculate and comforting. Isn't it amazing how you comprehend things the older you get. Things that used to be crazy all is starting to make sense.

I'm amazed.

Talk about complicated

So last night was a tad bit challenging for me. Firstly, taking picture of a premature baby in it's self is a hard task to complete. He was so small that most poses you could do with a new born could not be done with him, not to mention he gets so cold from being so small that you have to keep him bundled up which makes it even harder. Secondly, add a 3 month old wiggle worm into the chaos. My good friend Lindsay has a handsome little man Maddox and her sister has a little boy named Brodee. Needless to say we decided to get some Christmas pics of the boys together and separate, but only ended up with separate. They weren't having it together. Brodee was quite tired so he was in the fighting falling asleep mode which made it almost impossible to get him still long enough to place him next to Maddox's fragile little body. Therefore it was much easier to do pictures separate of them. So I started with Maddox. Now keep in mind all of the cute ideas I had were out the window when I truly understood how small and fragile he is. I know I didn't get as many GREAT pics as I wished to capture but I hope they will make Lindsay and Brooke happy. Let me know what you guys think. Enjoy...

Much L<3VE,

Michael's Hunting Adventure

Sorry I am just now getting around to this.. As you know Michael went to Kansas and Oklahoma over Thanksgiving to hunt. He was gone a little over a week and had such a great time he wants to go back already, despite the 24 hour truck ride it took to get there. I can't even get the man to drive 45 minutes to the mall much less 24 hours, ha ha... What a man will do to get the big one.. Needless to say Michael's hunting adventure didn't turn out the best in the world.. He didn't get the big one he had hoped for.. But he was able to bring home a smaller buck and a doe.. Oh well.. Next time... Here are some pics for your viewing..

Have a good day..

Brittany!

PS: I didn't realize I left this out, the big deer with Michael, he didn't kill that a friend did..
