Following Auntie's orders

My Aunt informed me that it was high time to update. . . So I thought for my personal health and safety I better obey her. (ok so she's really not that bad at least most of the time she's not)

I was in South Dakota last weekend. Now let me tell you THAT was great fun. One of my friends wanted me to take her wedding pictures, so my mother and I packed out things and away we flew. When we got there we had the surprise of our lives. It was snowing!! Of course I thought it was great. It got worse and worse. We ended up in the middle of a blizzard with our 'spring' clothes. I only had a light jacket with me, Mom was wise enough to bring sweaters for herself. We promptly marched into Walmart and bought some coats. Of course they didn't have any nice ones. So I had to wear this hideous quilted thing, mom's looked remotely respectable but wasn't something she'd normally wear. Anyway. We went to our motel room and stayed nice and cozy. =-) Like I said I thought the snow and cold was great fun. I'm not quite ready for summer just yet. I finally understand why they had a rope tied from the house to the barn back in the day. You could get seriously lost in snow like that.



I've had several senior pics to take the last while. It's been a lot of fun. I love taking pics of little kids but older people are a nice break. =) They do exactly what you tell them to. =-) Of course that can be a pain sometimes cause they're afraid to relax and just be who they are. Anyway. I really love my job. =)

Life hasn't been the easiest for me the last while. It's pretty much my own fault. God keeps whispering, "Brittany, will you trust me?" I keep trying to but often I fail. I don't understand why it's so hard to trust God. All through out the Bible are promises of what He has for me and none of it is bad. Everything He says is good. So why can't I trust him?? Why can't I give Him my heart and leave it there??

I've also been struggling with working for my salvation. I think that in order to be saved I have to do certain things and go through certain things. I thought I was done with all that. I thought I had finally gotten over the whole works thing and finally trusted my Father's love for me. There's that word again--Trust. Such a small word but so incredibly hard to do. I've been discovering how many verses in the Bible talk about trust. It seems every time I open it, I find another one. It's scary to trust the God whose Son willingly gave His life for me, the God who is preparing Heaven for me. It's so wrong!! But no matter how much I tell myself that the struggle still remains. If you think of me you can pray for me. . . I could use it.

I would post more pics but at the present I'm uploading pics to my Business site and it makes a mess if I try to do two things at once. You can go onto that site if you want to see pics really badly. =-) The wedding pics won't be on there for a little while though. . . sorry, but I have lots of editing and creating to do with that and I have people waiting on their senior pics so . . .

I hope my dear Auntie is happy now.
