A new day....a new time

I've been reading through some of my old blog posts, as well as other people's blog posts, and it occured to me that I used to be really transparent with my blogs. If I thought about it, I wrote about it. I miss that Brittany....but good news, because that Brittany is back as of now:)
A couple of months ago, I really began to feel the Lord calling me away from UNCC. My heart wasn't here at all, I didn't care about school, I wasn't happy at all...in fact I was probally the unhappiest I have ever been in school. So I've been praying about this for a couple of months now, and I've also been praying about my major, because I wasn't happy about that either. If you know me at all, you know how much of a people person I am...back home in Albemarle, I can usually walk in to a restaraunt or a store and know at least someone in the building. Part of that comes from being a part of everything I have been, and part of that is because I just love meeting people and love being around people. So I knew and still know that anything I do in life, I have to be around people, and I also have to be in the position of helping them. I also love to organize things, (not my room though) I love to organize things and people, and events, and I love to be in charge. I am the type of person, that I feel better about it getting done if I can either do it, or delegate it to be done...just ask any of my friends. In fact, it makes me nervous, and I hate it if I don't know all of the details about something. Also something that has been hard for me to realize and admit is that I am not meant to be at a 4 year university. Everyone thinks that is the only way, but it is not. There are people coming out of Community Colleges trained just as well if not better than those people coming out of 4 year colleges.
So about a month ago, I made the decision to apply to Rowan Cabarrus Community College, and to major in Business Administration and Marketing. This major will be beneficial in almost anything, and this college is right up my ally. It's 10 mins. away from where I live, it has a great program, and it's only 2 years and I'll have the same if not better training then someone graduating from Wake Forest or someone else.
Please continue to pray for me during this transition, and also be happy for me. I am so excited about this new adventure, that I'm ready for school to start tomorrow. I really feel like this is where God wants me.

Rain Rain Go Away...

I hate storms. I mean absolutely hate them. Up until I moved to college, if the storm was bad enough, I would go and crawl in bed with my parents because thunderstorms scared me so badly. Of course once I moved to college there was no one for me to go and climb in bed with. I guess what I learned from that is that there comes a point in life when I have to "man up" and stop running to my parents when I get scared during a thunderstorm. Even more practical, there comes a point in life when I have to quit running from the storms in my life to my parents and expect them to make it better. I'm 19 years old, it's about time I "man up" and face the storms head on...what storms are you running from in your own life?
