Hello Friends!
I kind of forgot that I started this blog. It is amazing how quickly time goes by. I am beginning to understand the saying that I have always heard older people say and never believed: time goes by faster the older you get. It's so true.
It's hard to believe, but I just finished my junior year at Dordt College. I can now say I am a senior in college :D So weird... This last semester was probably the busiest I have had yet, but it was also one of the best. I took 6 classes (18 credits)--3 were social work classes, 3 were electives. I also continued working at a nursing home as an activities assistant. I love my job! The residents are so sweet and full of funny stories and great wisdom. We should all pay more attention to the elderly. I also continued to be very involved in my college home church, Christ Community Church. I have the privilege of helping out with the Jr. High youth group on Wednesday nights. The students are awesome! They are so full of energy and life; I love hanging out with them. I also continued with some volunteering this year and was the president of two clubs on campus: the sign language club and the social work club. As I said, it was a very busy semester, but I thoroughly enjoyed everything I was involved in.
I am currently home for a couple of weeks. It is great to spend some time with my family. Mom and Dad are actually going to be empty nesters this summer. Joe is in the Army and is stationed in South Korea, Hannah is going on a Teen Missions trip to Haiti, and in less than 3 weeks, I will be leaving for Denver, CO!
I will be participating in the Denver Urban Semester (www.denverurbansemester.org) through Milehigh Ministries. I am one of 10 young adults who will be spending 9 weeks in Denver to serve, learn, and grow. I will be working at Joshua Station, a transformational housing program for women and children who are homeless. Along with the internship, I will be taking classes on Christian leadership and ministering to the poor. I am super excited about this unique opportunity. I am very interested in working in an urban environment and am very thankful that God has given me this opportunity. I am excited about what He is going to teach me through this experience.
I am hoping to update this thing on a regular basis once I get to Denver (maybe once a week?). I figure it is probably the easiest way to keep everyone up to date on how things are going and what God is doing in my life.
I hope and pray that you are all doing well and would love to hear from you soon! :)
Have a beautiful day
Britt

HI Brittney!
We miss you already! It's exciting to see how God is working through you!
Ha! I am leaving a comment here just because I can. It doesn't really say anything or have any point; too boot, it is even on an outdated entry! Man, amazing what irrelevancies you can preform when you are worn out (just got done doing physical labor all day). Anyway, this is a long comment for little meaning. If you looked at the word to message ration, it would be very large. Nevertheless, to avoid completely waisting these bytes of information (inner-nerd resurfaces) I will say something worth reading (assuming you even read this comment or endure this far down); I hope you have a most wonderful time this summer. I hope it is challenging, saddening, joyful, dangerous, peaceful, and good.
