He will Carry Me....

Hello All, Worst Blogger in the world here! :)

As life has been passing me by these past few weeks, months even, I have become very aware of the fact that i literally cannot do anything on my own. Seriously... Nothing. With me and all that is included in my life there always seems to be a catch, or something that must go wrong or unexpectedly. I dont know if everyone or anyone else has ever felt this way but its as if it goes wrong just because its me! If it was ANYONE else it would be peachy keen! But hello, I am Brittany Marie Brandner therefore, life isnt like the movies! I look around and i see my best friends in love and preparing for engagement or even weddings. I have watched people go away to colleges to work on their big degree, or move away to discover what the next adventure in their life is going to be. To put it plainly... I dont have that kind of excitement in my life right now.

I had applied to go on a year long mission in Africa with an organization called Operation Mobilization last October. Things with them are moving quite slowly so i am still not sure if i meet the standard of the kind of person they are looking for or however that whole thing works. I go to Community College and Northeast Lakeview College and am working on my Associates Degree. I should be done with that by October this year. I live at home, and rarely ever do anything on the weekends. My life is ordinary, plain and right now boring. I have entered into a cycle of motions that only seem to repeat themselves. I dont know what the future holds for me, whether God wills me to go on this mission, or to do something else i have no idea. I havent a clue on a lot of things lately...

The only thing i know is that God loves me. And he has a purpose for me and my life. Random lyrics from random Klove songs will pop in and out of my head sporadically. One of them has been He will Carry me, Love will hold us together, Like sunlight burning at midnight making my life something so beautiful, Mercy reaching to save me, Come as you are, Oh how he loves us! Songs of Hope and Love... I know this time of temporary boredom and confusion on what my next step is going to be will be done and gone in a blink of an eye. I hope i have opened up my heart and mind to be receptive to what God really is trying to show me in this time... Prayer is always appreciated! :)

German Sisters

Marie and Nora are in town from Germany! It is so great having them here with us! I missed Marie so much, you never know how much you love someone until they aren't with you all the time and then you realize just how much you really did care. I also realized a great deal how much she was there for me and how much she did for me. But us being apart has been so great for our relationship, we have gotten so close and make sure to keep each other updated with our lives and what's going on and all that. It is as if she never left!

I got to meet Nora before this when i stopped in Germany going to the Ukraine, so now i just get the opportunity of getting to know her more. She is very sweet and funny! Her and Marie though they are twins are nothing alike... Food wise, whatever Marie likes Nora hates, whatever Nora likes Marie hates, with an exception to Double Stuffed Oreo's... They both share a love for that! So we got 3 packages so they could enjoy themselves... they don't have them in Germany... SO we are making sure they get their Oreo Fix!!! Nora has a high voice but a low laugh... Marie has a low voice and a high laugh. Nora is tall and Marie is Short. Noras hair is Dark while Marie's is light. Do you get my drift! They are NOTHING alike! But she is apart of the family too and i hope she gets a feel for that in her short lived trip to Texas.

Anyways, we are having a blast and will continue having so much fun until they leave Saturday! Today we went to Enchanted Rock which i had never been to before, that is one great work out! And SOOOO pretty! I loved it! After we went to this little steak place that is only open on wednesdays. That place is sooo cool! Very country with their little old man band and all you can eat appetizers and desert but only one steak per ticket you buy(Not the cheapest steak!) I had a blast today! Friday we are going to the River with Matt Cullen and friends and then going to the river walk with the fam to show Nora around Downtown and of course the Alamo! I hope they are having as much fun as i am! :)

God is doing amazing things! I am suppose to find out soon if i am accepted into Operation Mobilization! Thats pretty exciting for me, Also i think i am interviewing to help out with Royal Family Kids Camp Sunday! So i am pretty excited to see what Gods plans are for me! Prayers are very appreciated! :)

Lots of Love!!!

Morgan's Wonderland


Yesterday i went to Morgan's Wonderland with the Grant Family... It was SO FUN! :) Morgan's Wonderland is the first amusement park that is solely focused on people with Special Needs. Everything in the park is based around the girl Morgan Hartman and her father Gordon Hartman(Which i had the pleasure of meeting yesterday) did all of this for her! It was so cool, And seriously its about time! :) Seriously this park is incredible and just all around a beautiful thing! The employees are very friendly, the security system is absolutely incredible! There is no way of losing a child or someone being able to take them from that park! Anyways, i got to play with Rachel all day and it was very cool! She had a blast and so did I! God Bless Morgan's Wonderland! Grand Opening is on April 10th. If you know anyone with Special Needs and you live in Texas i would recommend it! :) This Picture is Morgan by the by... You can read more about this incredible place at http://www.morganswonderland.com/index.html

Enjoy! :)

Oh... And Marie and Nora come tomorrow! If you dont know them... Marie was our foreign exchange student from Germany and Nora is her sister. They will be here for a week, i am stoked! I haven't seen her since January! :) My German Sister is comin to her American Home! :)

Exhilarating Experience.

My Exciting experience for today... My College, Northeast Lakeview College went on lock down at approximately 12:05 this afternoon due to a chain of events that occurred at Kitty Hawk Middle School right down the road....

This is how our lockdown went.
  • This mysterious number called our phones 6 times leaving multiple voice mails in the middle of class, ok... Creepers!
  • They would not let anyone out or in buildings... If you were walking from one building to the next you were officially used at bate for any assassin or person wanting to inflict pain. I relate it to the scene of Twilight New Moon where the Bad Vampires are bringing in people to tour that one place in Italy and well... Ate them!
In Conclusion, If the attacker was on the campus of my college i would have died or watched the poor students stuck outside die because of the very unorganized lock down...

My Exhilarating Experience for the day! Wow, Im wrecked! I think because of this very terrifying event and that it is my moms birthday today, Oh and i did the worst work out video today that almost killed me right there and then... Therefore, i think i have deserved the right to eat something fattening and sweet and fantastic tonight...

Terra, I hope this was a good enough post for you today!
