GOT YOUR MAMA

Little Carol came into the kitchen where her mother was making dinner.

Her birthday was coming up and she thought this was a good time to tell her
mother what she wanted. "Mom, I want a bike for my birthday."
Now, Little Carol was a bit of a troublemaker. She had gotten into
trouble at school and at home. Carol's mother asked her if she thought she deserved
to get a bike for her birthday. Little Carol, of course, thought she did.
Carol's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted her to reflect on her
behavior over the last year, and write a letter to God and tell him why she
deserved a bike for her birthday. Little Carol stomped up the steps to her room and
sat down to write God a letter.

LETTER 1:

Dear God:
I have been a very good girl this year and I would like a bike for
my birthday. I want a red one.
Your friend,
Carol

Carol knew this wasn't true. She had not been a very good girl this
year, so she tore up the letter and started over.

LETTER 2:

Dear God:
This is your friend Carol. I have been a pretty good girl this year,
and I would like a red bike for my birthday.
Thank you,
Carol

Carol knew this wasn't true either. She tore up the letter and started
again.

LETTER 3:

Dear God:
I know I haven't been a good girl this year. I am very sorry. I will
be a good girl if you just send me a red bike for my birthday.
Thank you,
Carol

Carol knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get her a
bike. By now, she was very upset. She went downstairs and told her mother she
wanted to go to church. Carol's mother thought her plan had worked because
Carol looked very sad.

"Just be home in time for dinner," her mother said.

Carol walked down the street to the church and up to the altar. She
looked around to see if anyone was there. She picked up a statue of the Virgin
Mary, slipped it under her jacket and ran out of the church, down the street,
into her house, and up to her room. She shut the door and sat down and wrote her
letter to God.

LETTER 4:

I GOT YOUR MAMA.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE.
Signed,
YOU KNOW WHO

PACKING!

SO!..
I'm in the process of packing (as my "title" has already pronounced!)...
For a small family trip to:
The great state of "SOMEWHERE"
and
The amazing city of "RELAXING!"
It is sounding more and more awesome every second.

...I think I may just turn my phone off...
ENJOY....
Have a great time with family and friends...
RELAX...
Have a great time with family and friends...

SHOP A LITTLE BIT
Have a great time with family and friends...
GRAB SOME ICE CREAM
Have a great time with family and friends...   Hahaha.. I'm sure you catch my drift by now.

Looking forward to going to a Youth Rally while we are there also.

Thoughts while packing....
{{Pink or Red???   Cotton or Shiny???   Ruffles or Lace???   How about all the above?! Eh?! Now that's the best thought you've had so far... Ahhh the joys of packing!}}

ANYWAY!
So I'm sure as you can tell by my slight A.D.D that Brianna's World has been quite busy lately.
(Hence the excitement for a small "get-a-way")
But... it has been an adventurously interesting time, the last little bit.
Never knowing what will happen next...
[[Sort of like Adventures in Odyssey :) but Bri-Style LOL]]
The stress of last-minute making great outcomes...
......................................& a few not-so-good ones also haha!
But hey! I'm still here standing on my own two God given feet
AND..
I learned from it and am getting better with the help of my Helper From Above :)

Must finish packing
Stay tuned for more adventures
Adios Amigos
Simply,
Brianna Elizabeth

PS ~ WHAT HAPPENS AT 1AM IN BRIANNA'S WORLD

PSS ~ SO ....
My Momma and I are at the church
Making chili
For out local town festival.
It is now 1am
We are also baking pecan pie filling
We are baking four 9X13s  at a time
Some gooey goodness bubbles over the side of the 9X13 onto the bottom of the HOT oven
It smokes
The fire alarm goes off...
**BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP**
10 seconds late all is silent as my momma had turned the alarms off
.......1 HR later.....
I walk out of the kitchenette to only be frozen in place because of the sight I see
ME
Brianna Owens of 5ft 0in stature is met head on with
my uncle
AND 
4 fully dressed firemen with those scary astronaut helmets on & their boots and shiny yellow jackets!!!!
AND 
policemen
Though we had turned the alarm off they still decided to check things out I guess
Okay.. back to my story........
So I froze!
Then I start to slowly back away and quietly say
....."mommaaaaa......." My voice a little higher pitched then normal since I didn't know what was going on at the time.
It all turned out fine...
Though several people from the church stopped into see what was going on since there were 5 Firetrucks and police cars in the parking lot at 1am haha.. 
You know you're Apostolic when people from your church are still awake and at it at 1AM :)

DRUG & DRUGS

Looks like being "DRUG(ed)" can be a good thing.
Thank GOD for parents who believe in training their children up RIGHT!

@ OBAMA... Stickers that speak truth

Casting Crowns -- At Your Feet

This song has been on my mind lately...
...And what happens when one is
humble,
willing,
and at the feet of the
Creator of the earth,
and of all things.
King of Kings,
Protector,
Lord of all Lords,
Comforter,
Provider,
Healer,
Lifter up of my head,
Lover of my soul,
Who knew me before He spoke the world into existence..
Died on the cross for my sins,
paid the price,
Leader,
Guider,
My Best Friend,
the ONE who will never leave or forsake me,
and loves me unconditionally.
THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM!

Mary and her alabaster box... at HIS feet
To linger in prayer... at HIS feet
To seek guidance.. at HIS feet

LYRICS:
Here at Your feet, I lay my past down
My wanderings, all my mistakes down
And I am free

Here at Your feet, I lay this day down
Not in my strength, but in Yours I've found
All I need, You're all I need

Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
Oh, to dwell and never leave
Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
There is nowhere else for me
There is nowhere else for me

Here at Your feet, I lay my future down
All of my dreams, I give to You now
And I find peace, I find peace

Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
Oh, to dwell and never leave
Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
There is nowhere else for me
There is nowhere else for me

Here at Your feet, I lay my life down
For You my King, You're all I want now
And my soul sings...

Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
Oh, to dwell and never leave
Jesus, Jesus, at Your feet
There is nowhere else for me
There is nowhere else for me

'Cause I am free...here at Your feet
All I need...is at Your feet
I find peace...
We're at Your feet
We're at Your feet

And I am free...here at Your feet
All I need...is at Your feet
I find peace...
We're at Your feet
We're at Your feet...

Here at Your feet
I lay my life down

Snakes that "MOO"

Some things make as much sense to me as:
A screen door on a submarine...
A high heeled tennis shoe...
OR
A snake that "MOO's," births its babies, and, can be milked!!!
BUT GUESS WHAT?!
This is what you call
{{L.I.F.E.}} 
The difficult
The weird
The unknown
The adventure
The joy
The sadness
The plans
The confusion
The humour
....SO....
Even if it don't seem right
Even if it doesn't seem fair
OR
Doesn't make sense.....
Walk the straight path
Plow on through the garden
AND
You will enjoy the fruits of your faithfulness and labor in the end.


a simple thought...
~a simple girl~

INTERESTING...

What the world has come to......

Ahhh... You see my friends - we don't care, that if you fall over on to the other side of the fence, that you might be EATEN ALIVE  ..Errr, messed with by crazy, foreign, wild ..Err exotic animals --- and that everyone near (including your family and friends with you) would see this horipilatiously awful thing happen & have that, to bear the rest of their lives.... We just care that the animals might get sick from eating you.

This really caught my attention. I laughed at first; but seriously and honestly, this is the most mean and most uncaring sign I've seen.
Yes, animals are important. Humans should be kind to them; though, humans are at the top of the pyramid and are more important than animals.

Brianna 101... Hahaha!
That is all for now.
