Sweet Moments. . .

Some of the most precious memories and sweetest moments of my life have been made singing around the piano, playing a duet with a friend, or laughing at myself trying to screech out a tune on the violin.

" Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul. "

~ Anonymous

" Where words fail, music speaks. "

~ Hans Christian Anderson




Music was created as another avenue by which we can praise God, and for me, that is exactly what it is.

Music was meant to be shared with those coming up and cherished by our loved ones.

Music is a universal languge and through it we can touch the hearts of countless multitudes of people.

" The aim and final end of all music should be to should be none other than the glory of God and refreshment of the soul. "

~ Johann Sebastian Bach

A new year. . . .

2010.

I really can't believe it's finally here! As I think of the past year and the resolutions that I set last year I am very excited to say that three of them came to be in 2009!

1.) My first resolution was to learn how to drive, my lack of ability was holding me back in so many ways and I knew that I had to face my fears in order to become a succesful adult. So I learned how to drive and have already been through 2 cars. Long story.

2.) My second resolution was to make a new friend. I have made a host of brand new friends this year that I feel like I have known all my life. Ya'll are truly incredible. Don't know how I made it before without you. Seriously.

3.) My third resolution was to start teaching piano. I knew it was something that I had not surrendered to the Lord in my life and I wanted to share that ability with the next generation of pianists. I can honestly say, with my whole heart that the Lord truly worked this out for me, and I praise Him for giving me this oppurtunity.

And so for 2010. . .

1.) My first resolution for this year is to learn how to cook. I enjoy the little bit that I can do, but I want to really learn how to cook. This year. Scaryyyyy.

2.) To fully surrender my whole heart and life to God.

3.) To be on time to work every day. yeah.

4.) To become a better steward of my money and of my time.




Happy new year everyone!

Only in America

1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

2. Only in America......are there handicap parking places in front of our skating rinks.

3. Only in America......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions, while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

4. Only in America......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a Diet Coke.

5. Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.

6. Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.

7. Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

8. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.

9. Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

pretty crazy huh?

Have a simply wonderful day!

Love,
Brittney

Merry Christmas to ALL. . . .

Hope everyone has a blessed and happy Christmas day tomorrow. . . and remember the true reason for the season, the greatest gift that could have ever be given, the Saviour of the world.

Merry Christmas to ALL . . . . .

Maelynn's Mocha Punch

I don't normally share recipes. . . because I don't cook, but this stuff right here is awesome! Thanks Maelynn for sharing with all of us!!!

Maelynn's Mocha Punch!

1 ½ quarts water
½ cup instant chocolate milk (powder)
½ cup sugar
¼ cup instant coffee
½ gallon vanilla ice cream
½ gallon chocolate ice cream
Cool whip

Bring water to a boil, take the water off the stove and add chocolate mix, sugar and instant coffee. Stir until dissolved. Let cool of and refrigerate over night. In a punch bowl add vanilla and chocolate ice cream (I find it mixes better when the ice cream is soft so I let it stand out for a short time. Then pour your mixture on top of that and add your cool whip and serve! =)
