Um....My name is Brittany....I am 22 years old, I attend Christian Brothers University, in Memphis, TN, where I am a "SENIOR!" majoring in Business Adminstration with a concentration in Accountancy, and a minor in Music. I was asked why did I choose to go to school close to home and not go far away to attend college....And the honest answer is...I couldnt leave my church. I am a member of Temple of Deliverance C.O.G.I.C, the Cathedral of Bountiful Blessings where I sing with the Voices of Bountiful Blessings and I have been for the past 22 years of my life. My pastor IS Supt. Milton Hawkins, and founder, the late Bishop Gilbert Earl Patterson, one of the most anointed preachers and teachers who has ever graced this planet. Even today, through his television ministry and all the other projects that he has left behind, he still has a way of capturing the saints. I am so thankful to God that I was allowed the opportunity to be under is leadership for 21 years, and that is something that gives us at The Temple an advantage over so many others. It feels so good to know that I can hear his voice whenever I get that urge and need to hear a sermon from years ago, I can just get on the internet or fiddle through my personal collection. I never thought I would live to see this day. I thought Bishop was that one man who would live on forever. But, I realize now that, he had done all there was for him to do here. I would have given anything so that my pastor would have never known the feelings of hurt or pain, that's just how much he meant to me. But there's one thing I can rest in knowing....he is safe in the arms of strength, and that same prophecy that he spoke into the lives of millions across the world has now manifested itself in him, because HE'S HEALED, HE'S DELIVERED AND HE'S SET FREE. Um....Music is my life. It is my escape. I have had a solo ministry since the age of 2. Singing is that gift that I love and enjoy the most. It was inherited from my mom and dad, a gift from God more so than anything. I developed a great love for music at an early age, but I hated going to piano lessons, thats one thing that I wish I would have continued. I get a great joy out of singing, and God alone gets the glory for that. It means so much more when you really get in tune with the lyrics of a song, that's why I love hymnals and scriptural songs, especially from the book of Psalm. The literature is so profound, and sometimes speaks the very sentiments of my heart. I pray that my gifts and talents never be watered down with mediocrity or wasted, but be released to find their fullest expression in glorifying God. Um...I used to play basketball. I played for over 10 years. I got older and wiser and that thing that I used as a way of coping became something that I lost interest in, for so many different reasons. I am a cool person to be around, I get along with everyone. I joke around a lot...I am too witty for myself. I bring a positive vibe to any situation, that is when and if I talk. My parent always told me, ITS NOT UNTIL YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH THAT PEOPLE NOTICE HOW BIG OF A FOOL YOU ARE. So I have sort of kept that mentality. But I tell you THE MORE PEOPLE I COME ACROSS, THE MORE I LEARN TO APPRECIATE FLIES AND MOSQUITOS, cuz people something else..THAT IS FROM 1ST BRITTANY 3:8....Um... One thing that has helped shape my life and will be a permanant fix, was the sudden death of my father. There are moments in everyone's life, whether it be a moment of triumph or a turmulterous one, that alters that person for the rest of their life. My moment came when I was just 11 years old,when my father was shot and killed. In this, even at an early age, I learned to just trust God, no matter what comes my way. At one point, I thought how was I going to make it, but here I am 10 years later. I have been living on the promises of God, and He has been to me everything that I lost and needed; a father, a provider, a comforter, the best friend I could have ever asked for, my secretkeeper, my stormchaser. I know I dont always say the right things, I dont always do the right things, but I find comfort in knowing that God loves me inspite of myself. I thank Him that I have never had the desire to do some of the things that most people my age find a joy in doing. I thank my mom, dad, and my pastor for instilling in me the desire to love God and trust Him in every area of my life. God has been more to me than I could have ever imagined....What else?....I have a strong interest in Residential Architectural Design, both interior and exterior. I have transformed into a NERD, I am just starting to embrace that side of me...Well I done told about the goodness of the LAWD and ...Yes, Sir I done testified on MySpace.com..HAM Murcy..I know I got a crown with some emeralds, cubic zirconias, and rhinestones on it.....
