Hoochie Mama Cheerleaders!

So today I went to a cheerleading competition with Emily in Nashville. She's on Orioles at Prime Tyme and asked me to tag along, so I did. As you probably know, I'm a cheerleader at Hendersonville, but going to this competition today was a whole different side to cheerleading!! There's crazy brighter make-up, bigger bows, smaller uniforms, and a whole lot more skin!! Of course when you think of cheerleaders you automatically think short skirts, but at Hendersonville thats all it is...short skirts. We are completely covered everywhere else!! I kept joking with Emily today telling her she was a hoochie mama cheerleader!!

Anyways...I know that was short and somewhat pointless, but guess what...I don't care!! Ha!! I have to get ready for work now!!!

Peace!

Legacy

Ok this might sound a little weird, but do you ever think about death? Or not so much death, but how people would react when you're gone. Confused? Well think of it this way...close your eyes and think about your closest friend. Think about the one person that you just don't know what you would do without them. Now how would you react if one day they were just gone? How would you remember them?

Lately this very thought has been so real to me! More then ever I've thought about how people would react if something happened to me. Now maybe you're thinking, "Well that's a selfish thought, Brittney." Well no, thats not how I mean for it to come across. I don't think about how many tears everyone would cry, or how many different flower arrangements people would send to my funeral. I think about the after math of it all. After all the tears and flower arrangements! (Ha! Just a joke!!) I think about the "legacy" that I would've left. How will people remember me? Will I be remembered as the stuck up pastors kid who was mean to everyone? Or will I be remembered as the girl who loved God with all her heart, and let his love shine through her?

Whether you like it or not, people watch you. If you say you're a christian, they watch you 100 times closer!! With every step you take and every direction you turn you are creating your legacy. You are creating the very person that will be remembered when you're gone. For many weeks now this thought has been engraved in my mind and all I can think about is creating a legacy for my Jesus!!! So I just have one question....what will your legacy be? It's all up to you!

Don't Forget the Lyrics!!!!!

Hello!!! Welcome to my blog!! My name is Brittney and this is my first official entry!!! I've finally reached a new level of cool!!! Whoo hoo!!! Ha!!

So how many of you have seen the show Don't Forget the Lyrics? Well, last night at church I discovered that if I was ever on that show I would fail miserably!!!! My youth group had our first annual talent show, and me being the procrastinator that I am, I didn't know what I was planning on singing until a few hours before hand. Big Mistake!!! Now, everyone in my youth group knows that I sing, and I thought this time would be just like every other time singing in front of them. Wrong!! I get on stage, dedicate my song to my dear Emily Light, and then I start singing. First verse...ok, Chorus...ok, Second verse...umm??!! Yea that's right....I forgot the words!! I'm standing there thinking...."Oh no!!! What now!!" So i jokingly start singing something like...."I just forgot the words....I knew this would happen!" Well I guess everything worked out because my best friend Emily Corley, being the goof ball she is, ran up on stage before the whole thing started and sat next to me holding the picture of Emily Light, to whom the song was dedicated. Anyways, I pretty much sang the whole song to her while she sat and "cried." What was supposed to be a sweet song turned into the worlds most random comedy act!!! It was all worth it though!!! We all got a good laugh!!! I guess through it all I did learn one thing.....Don't Forget the Lyrics is NOT for me!!!!!
