Ok, here is an update on my life right now.
GOD IS FAITHFUL!!! He has graciously supplied my needs although I am unworthy.
I got the job at Chic-Fil-A in Gardendale. My last day at Wal-Mart is this Friday (TOMORROW!!!). In fact, this Saturday at CFA, I get the honor to be the COW for CFA's 2nd Birthday! So if you are out and about in G'dale on Saturday from 11-1ish, come by and DON'T torment me.
Last night at Mountaintop, we had communion. It was unlike anything I had ever done. It was very worshipful and it will be something I will remember. I really love that church. I am going to join in May and in April I have an audition for their (awesome) Praise Team! I think my parents and I have finally come to an understanding about church. I think they have realized that I am grown up enough that I need to start making my own choices and follow through no matter what the consequences. I just hope that they trust that God will direct me in the choices I make.
Thanks for your prayers and advice recently. It just seems that things are going well right now. I mean nothing is perfect, but they are a heck of a lot better than they were.
::update::
I also wanted to share with everyone one of my new favorite quotes. My high school choir director wrote this to me in my yearbook (it is actually her quote!).
"Music is uplifting, inspiring, fun & challenging, but if done beautifully, there is no greater reward." - Margaret Heron
AND
I have recently published a podcast incase anybody wants to hear something cool. It is a song that I really like right now called "Bend My Knee" by Mountaintop's Praise Team. Check it out at http://clickcaster.com/bdmtop1 and let me know what you think. [Tip for the wise: when listening to the podcast, turn your speakers down low while i'm talking and then after i finish talking you can turn them up to hear the song].
Thanks and Enjoy!

A Tribute...to Amber
(posted previously on LiveJournal)
This is probably going to seem really cheezy, but here is a tribute entry. This goes to Amber, the most beautiful girl I know. Amber, I love you and I am praying for you. I will try to call you soon and maybe we can hang out sometime soon if you are up to it. I hope all is well with you and I pray that God richly blesses you in all you do. You are one of the strongest persons I know and you are very special to me. I cherish our friendship (even though I have been a bum lately and havent talked to you or come and seen you...I am truly sorry). But anywho, Here are some pictures that I hope you will enjoy. I was going through my pics the other day and came across these.
Here is to you.
A pic of us at MJHS in the choir room. I will always remember our fun times we had with Mrs. Heron and the rest of the Chamber Choir.
The infamous blanket. Ha ha, you would always lie in the floor with your blanket. And then I would put your purse on you. Oh goodness...
You are always beautiful.
I hope Daniel will not kill me for posting this picture. :P
You are so pretty. Ok, I know you think i'm weird...lol
This is one of my favorites by far because of all the fun times we had in Britishland...I mean Canada. (btw...thats an inside joke in case you are wondering)
Well, sadly, I must end this post. I hope to post again sometime soon because I miss posting on LiveJournal and I miss getting alot of comments from peeps. There had better be comments on this entry about how much everyone loves Amber.
Until Then,
Bri

Well, since nobody posts comments on my Livejournal anymore, I think I am going to give blogging a try on Myspace. I FINALLY got some pictures from Passion '06. Passion was amazing and I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL PASSION '07!! Here are some pics that are from Passion. These were taken by Megan Baker.
Passion '06 was in Nashville, TN at the Gaylord Entertainment Center.

Remembering Passion
(previously posted on LiveJournal)
"YES, LORD, WALKING IN THE WAY OF YOUR TRUTH, WE WAIT EAGERLY FOR YOU, FOR YOUR NAME AND YOUR RENOWN ARE THE DESIRES OF OUR SOULS." - ISAIAH 26:8
Wow, I cannot quit thinking about PASSION. I wish I were still there. It was an awesome experience and I highly recommend that any christian college aged student attend it. I will be going to Atlanta for Passion 2007. I have been listening to my session cds from Passion. I have two favorites right now. I like the "Passion, Purpose, and Designer Jeans" session by Louie Giglio and I also like Louie's "Indescribable" talk about the God of creation. It was amazing how God revealed himself to us at Passion and how he has comforted me since then. I really feel that I have grown closer to God because of what all happened at Passion. "OH PRAISE THE ONE WHO PAID MY DEBT AND RAISED THIS LIFE UP FROM THE DEAD!!"
By the way, for those of you interested, check out the Passion blog (http://www.268blog.com/) and the Passion website (http://www.268generation.com/).
Well, I think that this will do for now. I had better hear from you guys, I need some comments. It makes my day better.
Later Peeps!

Claimed
(previously posted on MySpace)
I think I am going to diversify my blogging assets. Today I started a Blogger so PERHAPS I can stay connected with my UAB Choir friends since they mainly blog on there. I will still blog on here mainly because I like the response I get on here. What I will do with my other blog is repost blogs I do on here or post pics or something. I will let ya'll know when I do so. Ok, so on Technorati, I am claiming this blog as one of mine so ppl who search for it on Technorati can find this blog. I also subscribed to UAB Choir's blog on Bloglines. Just thought I'd let ya'll know.

At The End of The Day
Do I really need another blog? I've got a MySpace, a LiveJournal, and now this thing. I also have a website (http://www.briandenton.net). Well, I might use this thing to repost some other important blogs from my other ones. See, my UAB Choir friends have bloggers and other ppl I know have Myspaces or Facebooks, so I've got to find a medium to where I can connect with ppl. Oh well, expect to see previous blogs for a little while on this blog until I find which blog I am most comfortable with. Laterz!
