sometimes, i just don't know what to do.
sometimes, i just don't know what to say.
sometimes, i just don't know how to do it.
sometimes, i just don't know why i'm having to even worry about it.
sometimes, i just cry.
sometimes, i feel like i'm in a battle and right in the middle of it all.
sometimes, i wonder if my life will ever be "normal" again.
sometimes, i wonder if i'll ever get to live my life for me.
sometimes, i wonder if it'll ever be my turn - getting my own home, bridal showers/teas, baby shower(s) etc
sometimes, i just want to yell.
sometimes, i want to laugh instead.
sometimes, i just want to take a beach vacation by myself.
sometimes, i wished i lived away from those i love the most.
sometimes, i wondered if those i love, love me even half as much as i love them.
sometimes, i wonder if those that i love the most, ever realize they are 98% of the hurt i feel.
sometimes, i wonder the "sometimes"
but through all the "sometimes", i'm reminded that, though satan gives me those moments, he doesn't get me.
he can try to take away my family, friends, work/clients, money and so much more. but he doesn't get to. God created me. God loves me. God sent His Son to die on the cross for me and my sins so that i can live forever with Him in Heaven. God lets me run to Him when i don't know what to do.
this video is a song that i heard for the first time on this year's Women of Joy conference ...

history of today
sorry i've been so absent! i said i was going to do better, but apparently i lied! it's been busy busy around here! i've even celebrated another year. but today is a special day!
33 years ago today my parents got married. very quickly actually. her dad,step mom, sister and her family, as well as the rest of my mom's large family found out she got married an hour later at her high school graduation. *** side note here : my rents would have just about killed me if i'd got married 7 years ago an hour or two before graduating high school! ***
so happy anniversary to my wonderful parents!
they have taught me so many things! i love to sit back and watch them. it hasn't been easy. there have been fights, laughs, sad tears, happy tears, and through it all, and i do mean ALL, they are still together.
how? through everything they've been through, how are they still together? by faith in their Savior!
another side note here: 12 years ago today sister graduated high school, 9 years ago last saturday on my bday my brother graduated high school, and tomorrow will mark my 7th year mark of being a high school graduate! i can NOT believe it's been seven years! sheesh!

i admit
i lied to you all last week, and i do ask for your forgiveness! when i've had a chance to sit down at a computer, my mind has taken me to finding the perfect baby shower invitation for my sister. she deserves the very best, and i hope i can help in giving it to her! my mind has been rolling and planning!
this coming sunday at church, we will have our fifth, yes i said fifth, baby shower since the end of february. now, i don't know how other churches do their showers for moms-to-be and brides-to-be, but letmetellyou .... we spend a whole entire afternoon setting up and decorating! it takes usually 3-4 hours to set up and about 30 minutes to tear it all down.
don't get me wrong, i love showers,babies,and weddings and all the festivities around those times, but i'm tired. we've even had a bridal shower thrown in there too. we won't have another shower until the second sunday night in june, and it's a bridal shower. so going from baby to bridal has been refreshing. now, grant it. we don't rent fancy tablecloths and go out and buy fancy centerpieces. we also don't use those paper/tissue paper ones either. we try to use what we have, and make it special for each person. it's never the same way twice!
i'm trying to decided who's most excited about sis's baby boy - me or her? or rather, who's the most excited about her shower that's not until the first of august? i'm thinking i'm the definite there! and today, i think i might possibly have found the perfect invitation! it's a little pricey, so i might have to keep digging, but dang it's cute!
no, my sister has not picked out a theme or registered yet, i'm just almost bored and i know i have lots to do in june,and this can be done now. i'm trying not to be a procrastinator and use trying to use my time wisely. man it's not easy!
heaven help the day, if that day should come, that God sends me "him" and we get married - because oh,the fun planning there!, and then to be blessed enough to be a parent!
enough boredom about showers ....
i have some ideas floating around in my head about beauty products - hair,skin and makeup - and maybe some answers to some questions. maybe soon, i'll have a week of beauty here ...

i know,i know ...
it's been a LONG time since you fabulous folks have heard from me!
i'm alive, i'm healthy, i'm content, and i'm busy. busy. busy. but hey, that's how i chose the name after all,right?! yes, and it fits me perfectly.
i've had so many posts in my head, which may make me seem like a crazy blogger or something, but really it's great therapy for me. and even though i'm not a real therapist, i feel like one at my job. and that's perfectly fine with me. i call those client conversations life lessons. take from them and learn!
lately, i've been asked, "so what's new with you?" well ... i don't want to bore you with details,but nothing really with just me. i have lots of friends having babies, a few having weddings, church is busy, work is steady-super busy. before i knew it april had come and gone, and man oh man! i need a few days of it back!
but here's one super exciting piece of news (i had forgotten i hadn't shared, neither has sister, until heather reminded me today while i was giving her a new "do")
I'M GETTING A NEPHEW!!!!!!
i'm super excited! already had made some baby shower plans, but now i'm ready for more! someone asked me was i upset he's not a girl. really???? first of all, no. every child is a gift from God, no matter the situation. second of all, if i was .... which i was so hoping for a boy anyways and was afraid i was going to hurt sister's feelings by saying so.... what good would it do to be upset? i can't change the baby's gender. sheesh people ....
anyways ... i promise! i'll be back soon! i have some new things i would like to share ....
meanwhile, will you join me in prayer for those in fabulous nashville; albertville,al; and mississippi. i have been through two tornadoes in my life with nothing lost or damaged. i have never lived in a flood - i can't imagine ...
Excited and busy,
Britt
