Prayer > Worry


Easy, right?

WRONG!

I am a chronic worrier.

I worry about the silliest things y'all...

Examples:

1) Am I using the right shampoo? 

2) Do those girls like me?

3) Is THIS blog boring?

4) Do I need to lose ten pounds?

Yes, I do worry about BIG things too!

Examples:

1) Am I good enough Christian?

2) What is MY purpose?

3) Will I be a good wife?

4) Will I be a good mom (one day in the FAR future!)?

I could go on and on, but I will spare y'all from the mundane list of worries that I carry throughout my daily life.

The reason that I worry is because I do NOT put all of my trust in HIM.

Why do I NOT put all of my trust in HIM?

The answer...

I am human and I am not perfect.

I make a million, zillion, trillion, etc mistakes.

 I do fail GOD daily, but the really cool thing is...

HE STILL LOVES ME! 

AND

HE STILL LOVES YOU!


This song is a great reminder that GOD is in control.

We do not need to worry at all because GOD is in control.

If GOD brings you to it, GOD will bring you THROUGH it!

Yes, we might be confused at the plan that GOD is placing in our lives and doubt that we could go down the path, but we NEED to put our TRUST into HIM

So, do you think you can PRAY MORE & WORRY LESS?

What are you worried or stressed about?

How can I pray for you?

Atlanta Silverbacks


Hey AMAZING readers!

Yes, I AM alive and I have exciting news to share with you all!!!


The above photo represents one of the craziest and most inspirational stories, ever! The courage, focus, and hard work of that Women's soccer team encouraged me to never give up and continue to actively pursue my dreams. 


I have played soccer since I was five years old and I am absolutely IN LOVE with the game! I have played for rec leagues, travel leagues, indoor leagues, intramural leagues and High School! 

I played left defense and mid-field. 



(Sidenote: This is the only picture I could find. I think my mom has held them hostage...)

Okay, so you are probably like...um cool story, Brittney...
(Insert eye roll...)

Well, I am currently in school working towards my Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing.


I have known that I have needed to apply for internships and get hands on experience, but the whole process is a little overwhelming.

I received an email from a professor at my school regarding an internship with the ATLANTA SILVERBACKS!

The Atlanta Silverbacks are a professional Men's and Women's soccer team based here in Atlanta!


I immediately sent my resume and quickly received an email asking for an interview later that week! 

GASP!

Drum Roll PLEASE....

I GOT THE INTERNSHIP!

Y'all, I am the *NEW* Marketing Intern for the Atlanta Silverbacks!

I am so excited for this incredible opportunity and I cannot wait to embark on this journey! I honestly cannot believe that I will be able to combine two of my favorite things into one experience! 



Do y'all have any exciting news? I would LOVE to hear all about it! :)

Thank you for reading!

Brittney

Five on Friday!

Happy Friday y'all!

Who is READY for the weekend?

I know that I am!

Anyways...


One.

My love for Jesus is growing and growing and I am loving the things that he is putting on my heart. I will be getting baptized again! I filmed my baptism video with my Worship Pastor this week and it was so great to share my testimony. Also, I am joining a Growth Group on Monday nights and I working on a Daily Devotional. It has helped me really set a side time for Jesus,  but I do need to work on doing it every day. 


Two.

My fiance is seriously a-m-a-z-i-n-g! 
He will be on business all of next week, but he is taking the Red Eye to be able to spend Valentines Day together. My love language is time and he wanted to make sure that we spent the entire day together. How sweet!? No, I will not be getting flowers, chocolate, or a teddy bear, but I will be getting the best gift ever...time with my handsome man! 


This was our first Valentines Day! 

Three.

I am in deep love with some Hobby Lobby! I got wedding necessities for 80% off! Yes, I said 80% off!

Ring Bear Pillow

Two Flower Girl Baskets

Two Guest Books

Plus, they are cute right!? 

Four.

Dave Matthews Band is having a concert in Atlanta this summer!I have wanted to go to DMB for YEARS, but something always comes up and I cannot go! I am GOING to this concert, yall! 


Favorite DMB Song, ever!


Five.

We are so excited to have Fordham Footage do our videography for our wedding! We both absolutely love his work and we cannot wait see the final product! 

I hope y'all have a great weekend!

xoxo,

Brittney

We NEED to Catch Up!


Hey MARVELOUS readers!

I hope you all are recovering well from the Super Bowl shenanigans! 

Side note: craziest Super Bowl ever, right!?


But, SERIOUSLY!? Poor Peyton!


I am a marketing major and I cannot get enough of the commercials, but I was a little disappointed in them this year. (just sayin'...)

Here are a few of my favorites:

Anyways, let's talk about Atlanta and our issues with SNOW!
My heart ached for all of the individuals that were affected by the storm! 
The problem was that everyone tried to leave the city at once and it created a huge gridlock!


Andrew could not go to his office because of the storm and he worked from home, but we also worked on WEDDING PLANS!

Let the drum roll begin...

We found a VENUE that we both LOVE!


I am so excited! We looked and looked, but we could not find the *RIGHT* one.
Then, my dad told us about this place and we called the venue the next day.
It is in my HOMETOWN! Yes, how PERFECT!?

Now, let the real planning begin!

Thank you so much for reading!

Until next time...

xoxo,
Brittney
