Trust in the Lord

This week is the start of a new school year. Not only for the kiddos, but for me as well. I start my 3rd semester in Interior Design School on Friday.

The classes that I will be taking are:

Construction Methods and Materials
Building Codes
Commercial/Contract Design
Design Products
Sociology

16 hours but thankfully two of those classes are online and I will still be working with Jenn Britt Design as well. Busy, busy, busy.

The kiddos started school Tuesday.

The yearly verse for Wake Christian Academy is Proverbs 3:5-6.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight".

This is not only the school's yearly verse, but has become the The Britt family yearly verse as well. In the season we are in right now, we are truly trusting in the Lord each day. This verse also reminds us of our dear friend, Linda Aikens. She use to quote this verse to our youth group all the time. I can still hear her saying it and it brings a smile to my face.

We are so very thankful for Wake Christian and that our kids get to go to a school that is teaching them to Trust in the Lord! Jake's teacher cried during orientation because she was thankful for the great group of kids that she gets to teach. Jake already loves her and we are thrilled with both Allie and Jake's teachers.

Allie 8th grade, Jake 3rd grade, and the banner I designed hanging in the elementary hallway.

Phil and I will be volunteering every chance we get at the school. Phil already serves on the Franklin Pierce Educational Foundation board, which provides financial assistance to families in need and he is the announcer for the MS boys soccer games for the fall. We know the importance of volunteers and we want to serve!!

....and He will make your paths straight.

Just a little weekend update

I am at my parents house this weekend in Wilmington.

They have a small powder room that needed a little update. They have mirrors with no frame, which you see in a lot of bathrooms. To update them is simple....add a little molding and ta-da!!

Please excuse the poor quality photos. I was using my iPhone.

Here you see (well kind of) the mirror above the sink before the molding and the mirror after.

Here is a close up of the molding my parents chose.

This is my mama and my brother-n-law. He can do anything and we are so appreciative when he does. We love you Boog!!

I Know A Guy

I know a guy. This guy is the most passionate guy I have ever met. Passionate about what, you might ask. Sports....yup. His family....yup. Me.....oh yeah. Serving others....yes sir. God.....you betcha!

We are talking about Phil Britt (my hubby).

For the past 16 years, Phil has served on staff at churches in Wilmington and Cary, NC as children's pastor, lead pastor, youth pastor, family ministries director, etc. This month he (we) stepped out on faith as he pursues his passion of leading and guiding people so they will know their life purpose.

He is a fantastic communicator and is full of biblical wisdom. I call him my human concordance. I can ask him where anything is found in the Bible and he knows.....it's crazy. He can explain things so clear that anyone of any age can understand.

This is a new chapter in the Britt family book and I'm excited to see how God continues to use him.

Check out his website www.philbritt.org and like his facebook page.
Spread the word.
He can speak to churches, schools, camps, businesses, sports teams, one on one, groups, and can marry you (haha...officiate you getting married to someone else).

Thank you friends for the love and support and most of all for the prayers during this transition.
You guys are the bestest!!

The Redneck Side Renovation

I am a country girl. I love country things......campers being one of them.

This week I re-designed a pop up camper. This camper belongs to another country girl who loves the beach and camps their as often as she can. So, it was fitting that we turned this camper into her little beach oasis.

Before:

After:

Thank you to Abbie Franklin of CARTERelite Studio for the fabulous pictures. http://www.carterelite.com/

And thank you to Lenee Rice for letting us take over your camper for a day. We promise to "shut the door" when we go camping. Love you friend.

Now I am wishing I was by the ocean......ahhh. Until then...................
