A Special Day.

so here is how it goes,
God had been dealing with my heart about being saved a few times before June 14, 2009, but it was different on that day.

i just couldn't believe that the same God that had been letting everything happen that was going on in my life actually cared about me.
i would always think in my head that if he really loved me then he would make things better and not let things keep getting worse.
i was also afraid about going to the alter with all those people watching, and if i went to the alter that would mean that everyone would know that i wasn't saved.
i would always say, well i'm not as bad as some people. [famous words]
I'm sure if your reading this then your problem thinking how dumb those reasons are, but at that time in my life they were real to me.
now i realize how stupid, it was to think things like that.

anyways,
the night i got saved was on a Sunday night.
it seems like just yesterday now that i think about it.
Bro. Kevin had decided to let a few different preachers preach that night.
i don't really remember exactly how many preachers had went before Bro. Holt,
but when Bro. Holt got up to preach, he preached on Hell.
i sat there and listened like i had done times before when preachers would preach on Hell.
Again, out of the Grace and Mercy of God, God dealt with me again about needing to be saved.

i tried to come up with the same old excuses i had used before,
but this time it was different.
i knew this was the line in the sand, the last time God was ever going to deal with me.

i finally realized that God had always been there, and he had his reasons for the way things were, and that all the people that i had been afraid to go to the alter in front of already knew that i needed to be saved and all they cared about was me getting saved. nothing else.
i knew i was a sinner, and that i needed to be saved.

Praise the Lord! the only people that God saves are the ones that finally realize that they are a sinner, and deserve to be in Hell.

so i went down to the alter, and ask God to save me.

& He did. imagine that. God actually saves people that want to be saved.

i will never forget the expression on Bro. Kevin's face when i told him i got saved.
it was the happiest night of my life.

so that's my story. i hope its a blessing to the people who read this note.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

My Very First Blog Post! :)

Hello. I have finally decided to start a blog. I have always liked to write journals and stuff, so I figured I would like this too. Haha. Anyways, I would just like to start off this first post with a little bit about me.

First, my name is Brittany. I am currently 17 years old. I go to high school, I am a senior! yay, this is my last year! I am so happy to finally be closing that chapter of my life. It has taken a long time to get to where I am now in life, but it has been worth it. I am a pretty fun person, which if you know me any at all then you probably think I am crazy, but funny! lol. There isn’t really that much to say about me that wouldn’t take like a million pieces of paper to explain. Maybe one day I will get around to making a autobiography, “A Day in The Life of Brittany”. Hey, maybe I should name my blog that, I think I just might.

Secondly, I think I will talk about this year. The holidays are coming up, which always puts people in the mood to reminisce. So, I think I will do that. This year has been a very special one. So much has happened, 2009 has been a great year. Well, the first 5 months of the year wasn’t that great, but from June on, it has been better than any other year. That doesn’t mean that bad things haven’t happened though.

In June, we found out that my Grandmother had breast cancer. It was a very hard time then, and it still is. She had a mastectomy of her right breast. The surgery and all that went well, which I am very thankful for! She is doing chemotherapy now; she has 5 more treatments, and will hopefully be done with radiation in February. We are going on a cruise in April for my graduation present!

Anyways, i think this is enough to read for this post! i will try to post the sequel soon!

My next post will be : The most amazing thing that has ever happened to me!
Be waiting for it! Haha. :)
