A fight worth fighting for

   Wow I can't believe I'm posting another blog within a week??? Must be because I am bored... Just kidding.. Before I get into why I am writing another blog I wanted to share A great singer that has been so sweet to listen to and has just a unique voice. Lindsay Mccaul! She performed at Emmaus and her music just really peaceful and just such great meaning to it... So i recommend you music listeners to listen to her!! You will not regret it!!

  Well here it goes!  I am very honest with the struggles I have been faced with! About a hour ago I wrote some lyrics which really has a great meaning to me.  The story isn't just for what I have been through with myself and other close people to me but for others in this world who are suffering with hurt and pain and my heart just breaks for those who are broken and wounded deep inside.  It's not easy not to want to give up when things get rough.. Our first response is to run away because were afraid to deal with it or whats going to happen?? Am I not right?  But what I have seen in my life is a handful of people just get deeper and deeper in pain when not dealing with the issue they are facing which leads them to break more and more.  I know what it feels like to hurt so much you feel like there's nothing worth fighting for!!! But let me tell you there is so much to fight for and there are others who will stand by your side and help you through your pain.. It literally took me 18 years to really believe this and really deal with all those issues inside bothering me and When I did I felt so free and peaceful that I was able to open up more!! Life is never easy I face obstacles almost everyday and I have to say am I going to run or keep going and deal with it??The word Believe is stuck with me because I have a reason to Believe that it will be okay!! I believe in others that they will be okay!  Like I said the fight is worth fighting for because you will gain so much from any experience. And dealing with it will really help me in the Long run :) I know what it feels like to lose hope in a storm that you cant seem to get out of which leads to such strong self destruction and distorted thinking!! I want all those who know what I am talking about or are suffering to know that your loved by SOMEONE! and never forget that no matter what happens in your life.

So here is the song./lyrics i wrote the story behind this is "Someone" who is close to my heart who i have known for 18 years that I have seen just give up more and more each day and how it use to affect me back in the day!! It's been rough to see this person really dissolve and lose hope in all things!!

GIVING UP
**Giving Up**
Did you feel like there was nothing,
nothing to grasp a hold of
Every memory of everyday
did it all just fade away?
Are you looking, looking closely
to see reality
Is the hope gone are you not strong?
Did you just quit believing?

Now I wonder what it would take
to let you see you can be released
but your broken so its hard to
break through these concrete walls

**For every tear that  hit the floor
I was reaching out for you.
Letting my heart to be in control
Would I be able to stop it all
If i could stop and go back time
Would it have been worth this life
But Giving up is all that's left.
Whats left within is all torn out.**

You cant see you look past everything
It's like your dying your not trying
So pain is all that this will bring
If i have up all i had left
would you change what you have

***

With all the scars left all around
will you heal your broken soul
Would the sound of peace
let you breathe or would
you just never try it at all.
I am waiting I am trying
to fight what tearing me apart
but the pain it will remain
until you reach the the goal.

For every tear that  hit the floor
I was reaching out for you.
Letting my heart to be in control
Would I be able to stop it all
If i could stop and go back time
Would it have been worth this life
But Giving up is all that's left.
Whats left within is all torn out..
   Is giving up all thats left within your heart.

Love

The Cry in my Heart is to bring You Praise

Christy nockels
So at this time I would like to recommend an amazing singer whose song's and voice has just touched my heart during these times and the powerful words she has to sing!! Christy Nockles is just outstanding and her passion for the Lord is great!! Very influential person http://youtu.be/J3OEGnH5x8g Here is a video of one my personal favorites thats new called Waiting here for you.

Well where do I start this summer is going by so fast.  I think I have faced every possible feeling this summer.  It has been such an amazing experience.  Something that's been really crazy is the weather changes?? During these weather changes my attitude and my heart has really been up and down?? crazy hmmm?? and i didn't even really realize it.. On a rainy day i've shed a few tears on a stormy day I have been angry with fear/ maybe humid.. When sunny i have a a huge smile on my face.. And yes at night I have had fear because I am still afraid of the dark.. My heart inside has been faced with Pride. Not even realizing it till I went to church!! It's hard to be a Christian and be like Why isn't that other person not living the lifestyle im living or why can't non-Christians be like me.  The truth is yes I wish they could really live for the Lord but I'm not perfect my life isn't perfect.  I am still a sinner!?Facing that has been difficult but again its amazing to be broken down and realize that has really released alot inside for me.  This summer I've been able to allow a wide variety of people into my life and just love on everyone i see or meet :) God's been and always is good.  It's hard in the summer time not to be lazy and tired and let me tell you sleeping in and wasting away the day has been a killer but O so nice.. I'm seeing how important it is to though to stay in the word and just growing in that relationship with the Lord its extreme and just awwwww so awesome... My love for kids have grown tremendously this summer I'm about to lead VBS and let me tell you to lead worship for a bunch of kids is just such a God thing.    A few girls who will be singing that I've been helping with just watching them and seeing how much they love Jesus just has broke my heart and watching them sing Praises to the Lord man such a beautiful sight with there little girl voices haha!! Such a Blessing!  Music has just poured within me more and more everyday and my eager to really get out there on stage and just share the Words the Lord's just put in my heart onto paper and out my mouth has really been making me go crazzy!!! It's so important to realize these words that fall into my hands are not my words they are the Lord's words and truth that He has allowed me to see and here.. I have had a musical summer :) So far I have had an opportunity to write a couple songs and I would like to share some lyrics I wrote during this summer and just the feelings inside :) More will be posted later Hope YOU ENJOY :)
Love Brittany Nicole

Feelings?

*****When the sounds of the wind
brush across the trees
I feel the moment of You and me
My heart is at a breaking point
but the sound brings it to ease
It's the power of Love that
pulls me down to my knees

The rain on the window
with drops falling down
Reminds me of the tears of
heartache I once felt all around
but the Sun came out
and the cries faded away
and rays of light showed me the way.

With the fear raging inside
Like a child scared of the dark
You want to run and hide
But there's a fight worth fighting inside
There's a God who hears
and is always there
with open arms and always ears

With Laughter in the midst
and a smile of freedom
a song of praise
there's always a reason
A understanding God
who releases inner love
Like the changing seasons
There's always feelings.
And a God who feels them
