2009-06-06T09:58:00.000-07:00

Only two days left until Mission Trip Uganda, Africa of '09 kicks on to way! I'm fully packed and ready to go. I was going to wait until sunday to pack but my excitement got the best of me and I started and finished yesterday. Please pray for our safe travels!!

Mission Trip count down...

2009-06-03T21:47:00.000-07:00

It's official, less than 5 days until I head on out to Uganda, Africa for our mission trip. I have been looking forward to this since I first heard about it back in December. I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work. No lion, no west nile, no nothing will keep me down. I am pumped up about this!! It's still hard for me to believe that I'm actually going to Africa for a mission trip. If you would have met me a year ago today and asked what I would be doing next year I tell you this would not be my answer. I'm so blessed and so great full that God placed someone in my life to help me down the right path. If it weren't for my family and friends and their support and encouragement, I wouldn't be doing this. I'm ready to go help people and change some lives, or come back changed. If you could keep all three of us in your prayers, Aaron Woods, Misti Ewart, and Kevin Britt, Thank you.

Man I don't know if Uganda is ready for Kevin Blaze Britt cause I'm bring it baby!!

The Green Ranger!!

2009-05-31T12:59:00.001-07:00

Ok today has been officially the greatest day that I know of. After church a group of us were standing in the lobby of the worship center just like we always do. Then Jessica turns and says to me, "There is Tommy the green power ranger." I thought she said that guy looks like Tommy the green ranger so I turn to see this guy with spiky black hair and turn and say, "Yeah he really does." And she replies back, "No that's him." I turn and was shocked to find out that the guy who played Tommy on the power rangers actually goes to our church! How freakin awesome is that!! I felt like a little kid again. I got so giddy and I might have peed my pants a little lol. Not really. But seriously the best day ever!!!

The most Bad-A tv show!

If you have never seen this show you have too. It's more of a show for guys but girls if you like this type of stuff then go ahead. The guys that get to do this type of stuff are extremely smart and freakin lucky to get to do it everyday. I really wish I could have that job. I can't remember what channel or time it comes on but if you ever see it on you have to watch it. You won't regret it.

Dang it's been awhile.

2009-05-29T21:32:00.000-07:00

Ok it seriously has been a long time since i've done a blog. I will admit I'm not one to keep a blog updated but I really want to. I just feel my life is lame and don't really want to bore you with it haha. But guess what just deal with my boring life!

Favorite Song!

Simon!

Dude this guy is freakin awesome! I love how mean he is to the people on American Idol haha. Out of all of the judges he is my favorite. I hate watching Idol but I only watch when they have the bad people on in the beginning. After that it's just stupid. I'm going to meet this guy one day.

2009-01-19T14:04:00.000-08:00

I finally got a job at Walgreens to work for the Pharmacy! I'm blessed with such great friends and family that prayed for me to find a job. This was one of my worries that I don't have to worry about anymore! Besides the job we had a visitor come down this past week. Lara got to spend the week here and it was a blast having her hang out with us. We had many fun times and some awkward times as well lol. She is trying to get a job here at the North Campus after she gets done with college in May so be praying that she gets a position.

So yes I know it's been a while since I did a post and decided, Hey I have this blog mine as well write something. So today during church I just get blown away by what God does. During one service it's like so many things were answered. Just basically questions I might have had or worries that where on my mind. I just seriously blows my mind! But another thing that blows my mind is the number of people that attend a weekend service. On the week of Christmas, Dec. 27 & 28 attendance at Worship was 39,072 PEOPLE!!! HOLY COW! That seriously blows me away. I just can't seem to get my mind around that. Almost 40,000 people! And even on the 3 & 4 of Jan. there were 18,479 poeople who attended.

WOW!!!

Back to Reality

2008-12-31T22:54:00.001-08:00

I'm back home in good ol' Porter. We got in Tuesday night but haven't had a chance to do a post so I'm doing it now. I'm glad I got to see all my old friends and just hang out. We had an excellent time with my dad's side of the family. It wasn't complete because Erika decided to stay here and hang out with her friends so it was a little different for me not having her around but I seemed to manage. It's such a long drive to albany. Almost 7 hours. So I started reading a book that Mitch had given me called, Fresh Wind Fresh Fire. One word, AMAZING!! I love it. I'm on ch. 7 and I just love it. There is one part that actually made me cry a little. I'm really glad he gave me that book and hope that you all go out and get this book. Trust me you will like it.

Home for the Holidays

2008-12-27T10:59:00.000-08:00

The family and I left Christmas day and headed on down to Albany where most of our family grew up. After getting about half an hour or so away from home we stopped at a rest stop so dad could take one of his pills and he relized he left them at HOME! He isn't supposed to go a day without taking one so we had to drive back to the house to get them and then head on back to Albany. So that was almost 2 hours lost. We got to Albany around 8:30. Not bad because we usually get there close to midnight. We spent the next day with my dad's side of the family. It was really good seeing all of them. After eating I hitched a ride to Abilene with my aunt and met my mom at her work. We visited and I went to the mall to see everyone from my old work and to see Court and Westin. I went to eat that night with Court and her family but the wait at Abuelo's was so long that Court and I just went by Little Ceaser and got a $5 pizza lol. The rest of the night I spent with Westin, Court, Ae, Alex, Meg, and John just hanging out and catching up. It's crazy that I haven't seen some of them since I moved to Houston at the beginning of July. But hanging around them just felt so weird. When I'm back at home most of the people I hang out with from my bible study class are in their twenties so when I'm here I forget all my friends are my age and to me it just feels weird. I know these might sound bad but I just feel older than them but really I'm not. But other than that I'm super stoked about seeing all of them. Right now I'm at my mom's house playing with my lil bro, Creed, and talking with my mom. And tonight we are going to go eat out somewhere and I hope I can talk them into going to go see Yes Man.

Good Morning and Merry Christmas!!

Today is Christmas of 2008. The birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Or so that's what my sister and I thought until our little brother told us that he was actual born in the spring. Crazy I know. Erika is freaking out and saying her whole life is a lie haha.

This Christmas was great. I got to spend it with my family, be around new friends, and get to go back and see old ones. But this year I felt so distance from Christmas. It just didn't feel like Christmas. Maybe it was the weather changing from snowing one day to being in the 70's the next day. Or maybe it was that I knew what Christmas is really about but I really didn't know what Christmas is about. Confusing yes but to me it frustrating. I think it's because it's a HUGE thing to comprehend but that God gave us the most amazing gift of all. Not a laptop, or a car, or even a neat pair of shoes but a son. A person to come down and tell us about God and the amazing things he can do and then die for us so we could all be saved.

I never really got that when I was a kid. I heard the stories in Sunday school but never really took it in. I think we all overlook what Christmas is about. Yes it's good to go see your family and friends, and to be able to give gifts, but the one and only thing that we should be focused more on is the gift given by God. Nothing will or ever compare to the gift he gave. If we don't then we're missing out of the best gift ever. And instead of just having this holiday as the one day we talk, hear, or celebrate Jesus it should be everyday. Everyday should be treated as if it was Christmas. God didn't send him down so we could celebrate that one day, we need to be doing it every single day that we are living!

Thank you God! Thank you for giving this world the most precious gift of all. Your one true son, Jesus Christ! I thank you for that.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!! Have a happy and safe holiday!
