All This Time
Story behind Britt's new single "All This Time"
In preparation for the release of Britt's new album this spring, her first single "All This Time" will impact radio starting early January 2012.
Britt's story behind the song:
"All This Time is my salvation story. It is the story of how I met
Jesus, and a reminder that whatever we face in life, we don't have to
face it alone because Jesus promised to never leave us or forsake us.
Here is a glimpse at my story and I hope one day I can hear yours.
When I was seven years old my parents were going through a divorce. I
remember running to my room with tears running down my face and opening
my big, pink, Precious Moments Bible (I know some of y'all had one of
those too! haha). I grew up hearing my grandpa preach about Jesus and
in that moment I needed Him to rescue me. With barely any words I cried
out to Jesus and right away I felt His presence fill my bedroom. I knew
that He was real; I knew that He was with me and that He would never
leave.
Ever since that day there has never been a moment that I have walked
alone. Jesus has walked with me through the good and the bad. He is a
loyal and faithful God; the God who sees our heartache and knows that
the picture is much bigger than what we can see. He restores our
brokenness and redeems what we thought could never be redeemed.
But, this isn't just about my story, it's about yours. Your story
will reach people that I could never reach. Your story could be the
beginning of someone else's. So I encourage you to tell your story. No
matter how painful, how dark, how broken it may be, let people know that
our God rescues, saves, and restores and turns our pain into something
beautiful.
Together our stories will change the world and people will know that
God is real not because of the mere facts, but because we have
experienced Him. I once heard a writer say, "Facts stay lodged in the
mind, but stories speak to the heart." Stories disarm the heart. No one
can argue with your story. It is real, it is powerful, and it is life
changing.
When someone asks me why I believe, I simply say, I believe in Jesus
not because someone told me to or because it was the right thing to do,
but because I met Him when I was just a little girl and He has been my
best friend and Father since. He saved me from a broken life and gave me
something to sing about. He restored my darkest moments and I know what
the enemy meant for bad, Jesus will turn for good.
It's not always easy to see in the moment, but if you take a second
to stop and look back over your life, you can see how God has always
been there watching over you, protecting you, and guiding you all the
way up until this very morning. From the first tear cried till today's
sunrise, He's been walking with you and with me, All This Time. "

Writing makes me realize things I’ve been feeling for so long, and never knew.
And once you understand,
you can never forget.
And if you can’t forget,
it
will
never
stop
hurting.
“Every time he goes, she dies.
Every time she comes, she cries.
He was her long, bright future
In the middle of a wrong, dark road
He loved her, but he wasn’t too sure
If he could return the love she showed
When she said, my love extends
Beyond the realm of being friends
He kissed her head
And quietly he said,
It’s not that you’re not beautiful, you’re just not beautiful to me
She said, ‘how beautiful do I have to be?
When I look in the mirror, you’re the only thing I see
And I have loved you beautifully.’
Well, ten thousand tears passed by
But she never let him see her cry
And he called up down one night
He said, let’s get in the car and just drive
He talked a lot about loneliness
But why, she didn’t know
And some song about Memphis
Was playing on the radio
She said, let’s stop the car and slow dance
Won’t you just give me a chance?
He took her hand
And hoped she’d understand
It’s not that you’re not beautiful, you’re just not beautiful to me
She said, ‘how beautiful do I have to be?
When I look in the mirror, you’re the only thing I see
And I have loved you beautifully.’
Well, she’ll burn that bridge
And build a house
And swallow the smoke in her mouth
She’ll feel the burn
And then make the choice
To put the fire in her voice
It’s not that you’re not beautiful, you’re just not beautiful to me
She said, ‘how beautiful do I have to be?
When I look in the mirror, you’re the only thing I see
And I have loved you beautifully…’"
[Charming]

True, true love.
Why is it we always become so indignant when the one we have feelings for cares for someone else? Yes, it hurts like hell. And perhaps they are your one and only. Perhaps you might never love again. Regardless, you must remember to love is to put their happiness before your own. So if they are truly happy,then let them go. You must accept that perhaps you aren’t the best for them. And don’t they deserve the very most that life has to offer?

I just had the best idea ever! ♥
for when I meet my guy and you know we fall in love ♥ happily ever after YAYY x10000 I want to create a little book where we write down Bible verses. Like when we come across a verse that we relate to or that talks about having a Godly life or one that we want to remember, take to heart and apply to our relationship we write it down in a notebook and write the date & maybe a tid-bit about why it’s special!
Ok yes I want to do it.
THE END ♥
