The Question: What are you becoming? 

I had to ask myself this question a lot lately as I entered into 2014, what am I becoming, am I becoming my best me?? and I becoming better??

I came to the conclusion, I can't do better if I stay the same. By staying the same and not being willing to change I'm telling God, hey I got this! I'm cool like this, you don't need to do anything else! I asked myself do I want to stay where I am? Am I content here that I don't need more from God? Of course the answer is NO! but how do I begin to change. Well if I could have done it alone, I would have already, so the thing I had to do was release myself from myself! I had to let go of Me! 
Then it was like a lightbulb flashed over my head!! 
In order to change, me has to become non existent. It's all about Jesus, and when I invited and accepted him in me, that self I was so protective over, that self that I loved so much, that self that kept me from changing had to go.

2 Corinthians 5:17
King James Version (KJV)

17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

Its clear here that some change is going to happen when you accept Christ in your life, but looking back I said to myself, Britne, and myself said Yes, and I asked...are you a new creature though, you accepted Christ back in 2011, and you have changed tremendously, but have you truly kicked all of self out? Have you let all those old pass away? or do you keep resurrecting them because they are whats comfortable? 

This brings me to the meat of this post. 
Britne 2007-2013 "I HATE CHANGE" "I DON'T LIKE CHANGE" "I DON'T HANDLE CHANGE WELL!" "WHY ARE THINGS CONSTANTLY CHANGING?" 

This was my attitude towards change, still even 2 1/2 years into my salvation journey! I couldn't look pass the fact that I was comfortable with those statements, they defined me, they kept me in my comfort zone. I was blinded by my comfort! I couldn't even see that I wasn't making any sense! Like seriously you guys!! those statements don't make sense! and the fact that I get so technical with my mom and dad about the things that they say when it doesn't make sense, and I couldn't see that in my own self I was doing the same thing! that was the problem...in my own SELF I couldn't see! I have Jesus, but I wasn't allowing him to take over, to be my eyes, so that I could see what was wrong! January 2014 has opened my eyes so much!! and I am so thankful to God for it! A couple weeks ago my Pastor started a series on Change, and boy did it really just open my eyes to things, and it reminded me of this picture (above) my cuz posted that also opened my eyes to things. I was so big on my dislike of change, I looked over all the things about myself that contradicted that. I would say things like I want my parents to change, I want my situation to change, I would like this to be better, I CHANGED around my room every single time I did a deep cleaning, at least 3-4 times a year, I CHANGED the way I wore my hair a lot! When I don't like a show I CHANGE the channel, I CHANGE my underwear! I CHANGED my wardrobe, I CHANGED majors in college, I say I want to move out into my own place yet I hate change.  I sure enough did change my intake of candy once my teeth started giving me extreme pain. I keep saying I want to gain weight, which involves a change of lifestyle, the way I eat, the things I do.  I loved when the seasons change! Watching the flowers bloom in certain times and the trees leaves changing! Still I said I don’t like change, I hate change, I can’t handle change….


I’m laughing at myself now because of how completely stupid I was as I said this!!


After lots of self evaluation....I realized that it wasn't change that I didn't like, because as we all know change is inevitable! I was afraid of change that I had no control over, when it took me out of my comfort zone! Now I know I'm not the only one out there that dealt with this. I had some control issues! When I couldn't control how certain things changed, I didn't know how to handle it. 
When I made plans and they didn’t go through, ultimately changing the course of things, I could not handle that, it made me feel unaccomplished, it depressed me, and unmotivated me I couldn’t take the fact that my plans had to change! It was ridiculous!!

There in lies the problem again...I was trying to control things! BUT WAIT! I thought I had Jesus, isn't this suppose to be easier now for me to be in control? NO! What I learned is I should never be in control! Because me being in control is what got me in the predicaments I was in!! I NEED JESUS! I need him to be in control, I need him to orchestrate change, in me, in my life! I need him to lead me, guide me. But I have to be willing to change, I have to be willing to let go when he says let go, I have to be willing to to leave when he says leave, or go when he says go! I have to let God be in control of every situation in my life!! I have to change the way I think, and the way I speak, my heart has to change! I have to let Jesus be the change in me! 

There have been so many changes that have happened in January 2014 that have pushed me to really practice what I learned about myself! you see Satan knows you better than you know you, and he will use that against you! He has been trying to get me to fall off! To fall short! to think that God isn't there, because what I had planned didn't work out, how I wanted things to go didn't work out! But Thank God for transformation!! a few months ago these changes would have knocked me down! but I know that God changes things for the better! and as I continue in my journey through 2014 I know that God has something greater for me! but if I stay the same, if I stay in my own little comfort zone, my own little bubble, I won't be able to receive all that he has for me!

2 Corinthians 3:18
King James Version (KJV)

18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 


Law of Change: Everything is in the process of becoming something else.

I am becoming a better me through Jesus!

What are you becoming?

I've been using this picture for everything lately.

I think this is the prime time to start this blog. This first post is simply to let you know what will be in store if you decide to join me in my journey! 2014 is the year of my Journey to a better Britne! and YOU'RE INVITED!!

My walk with God!! This is the Journey I am on.....as I am strengthened in this walk, I become a better me.....a better Britne. I don't strive for perfection anymore as a human in my flesh; its not possible, only one man was able to achieve complete perfection here on earth, and that is Jesus Christ....my completion, my perfection will come when The Lord decides its time to take me home, but until that day, I will strive to be the best I can for Jesus on this earth. The one thing I keep telling myself is I can do more. I CAN DO MORE. I HAVE TO DO BETTER!! but I'm human right? I get tired, I get frustrated, I get weary, etc. and thats where my walk with God needs to be stronger so that in those times of frustration, tiredness, etc. I can call on him and know that he will get me through, I can not give up like I'm so use to doing! 

Here is what led up to now

2011: My year of CHANGE- I came back to the Lord and didn't look back!

2012: My year of REALIZATION, ADMITTANCE and RESPONSIBILITY- I saw myself in a different way, seen my flaws and mistakes and took responsibility for the things I did wrong. Its funny how when God starts showing you about yourself, you finally see the real you! 

2013: My year of UNDERSTANDING- its one thing to see how you are or were, but its another to understand the root of it. Last year was about WHY? yes I know I do this, and act this way, and rely on this.....but WHY?


2014: MY YEAR OF CHANGE AND ACTION! This is the year that I move out of my comfort zone! This is the year of Double Spiritual Perfection, everything God has been doing with me these past 3 years has led up to what he has in store for me this year!! and I'm SO READY!!

I will post blogs more in depth about the past years so you can get a real sense of where God has brought me from! Be Patient, Stay tuned and enjoy this Journey of Jurneez with me!! I'm changing to become a better me, from the inside out! Thats from Hair, Skin, Body all the way to School, Personal life, Emotions, Family! I'm going raw and uncut for Jesus. I want my life to BEE a SWEET smelling sacrifice unto him! 

In correlation with this blog, I have a YouTube channel as well, but it will be slightly different. My blog has a more serious tone, and my YouTube channel will have a less serious tone! Everything that is in this blog won't be on the channel, and everything on the channel won't have a blog post, BUT there will be times where they do coincide!! With that said if you join me in this Journey, I hope you subscribe to my YouTube as well! I have so much in store this year, I can't wait to get started!! 

2014.....I don't think your ready for this Britne!!
