Keller, Sky Ranch, Victory Family Church... Just a few of my favorite places :)

I decided to pick three places that have shaped me into who I am, thus making them my favorite! 
Victory Family Church: VFC was the first church I visited my freshman year at OU, and after I knew it was "home". So much of my college career has consisted of me being a part of this amazing community. Recently I have taken an intern position with their college ministry, which allowed me to tie in two of my favorite things, Jesus and OU! I spend most of my free time up at the church hanging out with my friends and helping out where I can. Its my "home away from home". This is a picture of my friend Madison and I serving Coffee on OU's campus to invite people to our college ministry! 


Keller, Tx: Once ranked the 7th best place to live in the US, Keller is where I have lived my whole life! I have made so many great memories there, and every time I go home I make even more. One of the funniest memories I have has to do with the picture below! I have provided a picture of my old High School's Cafeteria where a HUGE food fight broke out my sophomore year... Our high school made the news and senior pranks were banned for the rest of KISD history! My school smelled like rotten eggs for the last two weeks of school, and the last week of school we were not allowed to carry around backpacks. It was Crazy!


Sky Ranch at Horn Creek: This summer I worked at a camp called Sky Ranch in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. It was hands down the best summer of my life full of beautiful sunsets, lots of laughter, and discipling! I made 10 new friends and left camp feeling high on life! So much joy came out of this summer and so many memories. So below is a picture of my team and I in Colorado Springs after we did a service project!

    Ohhhh, Briana, a summer in Colorado: that sounds blissful! And I hope that this class will be a great chance for you to learn about the faith traditions of India. We will be starting off with some reading from the Buddhist jataka tales before getting into the epics, and the jatakas are very much like the parables of the New Testament: stories that the Buddha told to his followers in order to illuminate their lives. The difference is that in the jatakas, the Buddha was talking abou this former lives, so that is a big difference from Christianity. You can see what you think when you do the reading for Week 2! :-)

Hello there!! My name is Briana (Bri-aw-nuh), but to keep it simple you can call me Bri! I am an Entrepreneurship Major, and I LOVE it. The way I love to describe my major is that its the "fun" business major. It's all about being creative, thinking outside the box, and solving problems in the real world through a product or service! Its collaborative friendly and encourages team work for pretty much every assignment. I went into my major blindly, but I can't imagine studying anything else.  Since we just got done with summer break I think a lot of who I am is summed up by what I did this summer! I got the amazing opportunity to live in the mountains of Colorado investing into the lives of 16 year olds while walking through scripture with them. I basically got paid to pretend like I was in high school again, and got to do fun things like hike, zip-line, bowl, and so many other things. To change things up a bit I'll provide my summer video that I compiled!...

Week 6 Story: Sleeping Aurrie

Image
Once upon a time, in another land far far away was a king named Hubert. King Hubert was one of the greatest men alive. Not only did his people adore him for his kingship, but they also adored him for his selfless, king hearted mentality. King Hubert was a great king and husband, but he knew he'd be an even greater father.  For years him and his wife were trying to conceive, but time after time they were unable to. King Hubert refused to accept defeat. In the middle of the night he snuck away to go visit Mal, the witch of the kingdom. Mal had nappy, greasy black hair, a wart the size of a tomato on the side of her nose, and her skin was a slight tint of green. When king Hubert arrived Mal knew there was something up, the king barely even acknowledged her most days. The king began to explain his and his wife's troubles and Mal grew angry inside. She knew where the conversation was going and thought to herself: "How dare this man expect anything from me when he has neve...
