I want to pull my hair out!!!!!!!

Been awhile

Rebecca Jensen — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 00:01:24 -0500

ok so prepare for randomness... Life is pretty good... I like my job, like where I'm headed, like my coursework, ... God is incredible and I am really working on just letting Him be enough in my life... have you ever been trying to convince yourself of somthing so much that you tell someone else it and they agree and then you realize that even though that's what you want to feel/think/believe, deep down you don't feel that even though you should... yea but even if feelings don't line up, God knows the desires of our heart, and He knows what is best, and that we are trying, so I am going to stick to that and simply pray that God will help me line up all of the shoulds with the actuals... He is awesome and more than enough... and for Him my beign perfect isn't enough, but being imperfect is...

God please

Rebecca Jensen — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 17:55:29 -0500

I think I'm broken enough for you to use, make me whole, but not out of me, but fill this empty vessel with...... You... I'm ready to be new.

Bursting

Rebecca Jensen — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 23:32:59 -0500

I feel like a proud mother. I'm bursting with pride for all of you who competed tonight. See all that hard work and long hours of practice paid off! I love you all and I am so so so so so proud of you :-)

Overflowing Love

Rebecca Jensen — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 08:29:05 -0600

So this valentines day I am very very happy with the men in my life :-) yes I said men... besides my five wonderful wonderful brothers, I have very very awesome guy friends and in addition to all of that.... I have a Prince Charming that every girl dreams of. Someone who loves me even though I can't think of why on earth He would... the One I really just want to fall in love all over again, deeper, stronger, I want to be intoxicated.... yes you all know that I am talking about My wonderful Savior... He has saved me even when I didn't want to be saved; He has loved me even when I didn't want to be loved; and He has placed other people in my life who love and care for me.... If valentines day is about celebrating those who care about you, then today I have a lot to celebrate. I want to say thank you soo much to all my friends and family and those friends I call family :-) who have helped me in recent struggles. Thank you to those who have listened, reasoned, helped to sort, been there, cared, smiled, and hugged... "God's got it" And another thing that is absolutely wonderful is that I am being taken to dinner tonight by the earthly man who has always been there for me, my daddy :-)

With much love in Christ

DONE

Rebecca Jensen — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 08:54:16 -0600

I just finished my last exam.... I'm done for the year!

Rebecca Jensen — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 16:48:12 -0600

I know that God never want's us to feel comfortable in the sense that we should always want to grow... but does it ever seem to you that when you begin to feel happy in some place something changes... We are supposed to be content wherever we are... I suppose that though I trust God... and though I know that I don't deserve and don't expect anything more than what He has given me and though if He didn't do another thing for me for the rest of my life I would still be grateful... sometimes I just struggle with enjoying life... Then again no one ever said that we are supposed to like life... in fact scriptures says those who love life will lose it... so maybe it's not so bad.

MTSU II

Rebecca Jensen — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 23:46:24 -0500

Tomorrow at approximatly 2 pm we will be talking about the Judgment on mtsu's radio station. tune in :-)

MTSU News

Rebecca Jensen — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 10:14:41 -0500

Ok... I was reading the short news blurbs for mtsu when I cam across this;
Attempted Strong Arm Robbery: Fairview Building South Parking Lot

On
September 20, 2006, at approximately 9:37 AM, a female student reported that an unknown white male, heavy set, with blonde hair, approximately 20 years of age, approached her in the Fairview Building south parking lot and demanded money. Victim refused to surrender money and the suspect fled the scene.

So... I'm wondering; did they just not report on this well or am I missing something... He came demanded money without any sort of force, or incentive, no weapon, or threat, and then when she didn't just say oh ok sure... then he ran away? The picture just seems like it's missing something to me. Either that or we have a very callow robber running around campus.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Rebecca Jensen — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 08:35:51 -0500

Ok... so my online Economics class... Facing difficulty with bookstore issues I didn't even get the textbook until Friday the 15th which means I had only five days to cover four chapters (long chapters) of exciting economics material.... this feat is hard enough with my schedule.. but today was supposed to be my big day to get it done... and now the WebCT part of mtsu's site is down (the part with the information that goes with the book) AGGRAVATING.... in good news, however, my teacher said I could postpone the projects until a later time because of the situation... but I still have to cover the material and be ready for the test.I suppose this is just to teach me to study the same thing for long periods of time because I usually like to do little bits of everything and just start really early for it. Maybe this will teach me another work ethic?

First REAL night

Rebecca Jensen — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 10:25:23 -0500

Last night was interesting and a lot of fun. There were interesting parts, fun parts, boring parts, way too busy parts, frustrating parts, and rewarding parts. It is definatly more fast paced than DQ but I really enjoyed visiting with the people at my tables.
For the first hour and a half no one was seated at my tables, those who would've been weren't because one of the servers was trying to get to the stuff stored under my booth that was a little dissapointing. But then three of my tables were sat all at once and I got extremely busy. But it was fun and I did very well for my first night. I made an average of 24.8% in tips. And this was just my first night. I think part of it was that this place is new, but then again I also am new and I will get better at this. so... in a couple weeks when I actually really know what I'm doing you all should come :-)

Work

Rebecca Jensen — Mon, 04 Sep 2006 10:52:30 -0500

My first nights of real serving (where people actually have to pay to eat) are this week. They open on Wednesday and I am working thursday night and saturday night. Anyway, I hope that I will get the hang of it fairly quickly. I could use the money. I'm glad I took a break but it'll be nice to have a job now.
God is so good. I myself would never have picked a barbacue place to work. I thought it would be too casual and that I wouldn't make good tips. But this place is "an upperscale casual" place. It's cool and I feel like things worked this way for a reason. I spent a lot of time praying about it just because I didn't want to commit to a place that I wouldn't want to be "stuck" for a while. I like this place.

First night

Rebecca Jensen — Sat, 02 Sep 2006 22:52:39 -0500

    Well... I think tonight was a good learning experience... It was well rounded. I think it was really good for me.

    Since we haven't really opened yet and everyone is stil training tonight they invited some people in and gave them free food.

I think I got a well rounded experience.

    I got stiffed by people who said I was the best waitress they had had in a really long time and told me taht I was great... they gave me a whopping $1 for all three of them and they ordered appatizers, entrees, desserts, and two of them had four refills. It's cool though, I would have treated them the same way I did even if I knew how they would tip.

    I had one college age girl who was really sweet and emptied out her pockets for tip.

    I had one really great couple who were just generally pleasant who gave me a considerably large tip even though the kitchen took awhile for thier food.

    And then I got one table that tipped in the middle.

So it was a lot of fun. I learned a lot... Though I did mess up, I forgot to ask about smoked or grilled chicken on one of the salads.... Like I said though it was a learning thing. And for the most part the people I worked with were really awesome as well :-)

I think it'll be good. You all will have to come see me once we open for real :-)

Today

Rebecca Jensen — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 22:28:49 -0500

Today I had my first day of classes and all went well (though my first teacher didn't even show). My social dance class seems like it is going to be an absolute blast! I do have to wear heels for that everytime, but oh well.... Everything went well.
and...
I got a job!! Yay! God's awesome I'm excited. I had my first training night tonight... I won't be at church tomorrow night cause I'll be training... but yea... my day went well as such :-)

Recap

Rebecca Jensen — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 19:20:19 -0500

    So as everyone already knows, we went sailing today :-).. the boat was over fifty feet long, had six beds, including one full size, two bathrooms, a kitchen, basically everything! It was loads of fun! I have now decided that I officially love sailing! Granted it has it's downs, but it was a boatload of fun (pun intended). The wind in your face, spray of the crashing waves, and overwhelming vastness of the ocean, combination was astounding... God's creation is beautiful and this was just one more way to take it in. MJ, Zay and I are all feeling a bit lightheaded so I'm assuming sailing does that to you?

    Yesterday, I saw a lot of dolphins!! We went on a whale watch and saw one whale sorta but lots of dolphins... then last night my aunt took me shopping. She's awesome!

    Day before last we went to the beach, and then I went to see Oliver Twist in outdoor theater that night... I also saw a lot of beautiful gardens! My aunt took a pic of me in one of the gardens so I may post that just so you can see how gorgeous they are! They have really full, bright gardens all over the place.. I love it here by the coast!

     So really to cover all that I'm having a great time, my family is great and God's creation is awesome!! Hope you all arent' missing me too terribly much lol... I get back Monday which is cool cause I get to se you all... but at the same time... I really really love it here so I'm bummed :-( Plus all the people up here (my aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparents area all great) I'll miss you all!

Have a great night.

Yipee

Rebecca Jensen — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 15:58:02 -0500

Today I had a blast out on the beach! I laid out, went walking, doodled Isaiah, played badminton with Jonathan and just had fun. I did find, however, that because I have been mostly inside all summer, that I am whiter than any of my family! Hopefully I will take in some sun the next few days but as for now I get to hear jokes about how I'm blinding people with my shocking legs (thanks Chris)... Anyway, still having fun. talk to you all later.

Awesome

Rebecca Jensen — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 21:03:42 -0500

Just came back in from a stroll around the block... God is amazing creation is beautiful and I feel well :-)

Vacation

Rebecca Jensen — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 23:58:48 -0500

Don't you love just the feeling of being on vacation! I think that is the greatest part... I can relax because there is Nothing that I can feel guilty about not doing. I can have fun and not stress about things that I SHOULD be doing instead of whatever it is that I am doing. anyway I'm having fun so far... the feelings great :-) I'll keep y'all posted

Rebecca Jensen — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 09:48:07 -0500

Well I'm about to head out for New Hampshire... the plane, I have just found, will be small loud and rough... that should be fun...
I can't wait to get to the beach.... I absolutely love to sit out and listen to the ocean if there is ever a time where I get to choose where I live, it will be by the coast.

Gorgeous

I'll miss you all. I'll be back monday and I will have internet access while I am there so it shouldn't be too much of a withdrawl :-). Have fun because I know I'm going to :-)

What God has created is beautiful and I get to go enjoy that creation YAY!!!

The Ring part 2

Rebecca Jensen — Sat, 05 Aug 2006 23:04:01 -0500

ok... well I didn't keep the ring, it ended up being about twice as much as the one that I picked out. When I called I told them I didn't just want to keep this one if it was a mistake and I asked them what they would like to do about it they informed me that since it was their mistake I could, if I decided to, keep the ring. It was tempting, but really it is something for me to wear all the time and I really didn't buy the ring they gave me. My dad and I decided, and I expressed to the sales associate that if it would be possible for them to have the ring that I was supposed to get sized and ready today so that I could pick it up before my trip then I would trade it out, but if not then I would just keep the one that they had given me. They assured me that they would make it happen. So I picked up my very elegant but slightly more practical ring this afternoon and I like it more than the one of slightly greater value and more ornate one.

This picture doesn't do it justice... the ruby is actually the same size as the first ring but is turned in the opposite direction so that it runs long-wise with the ring instead of being perpendicular to it. It is gorgeous! If you see me you should definatly ask to see it :-) I'd be happy to show it off :-)
Love y'all have a great night

Promise ring

Rebecca Jensen — Sat, 05 Aug 2006 10:35:21 -0500

Dad gave me my ring this morning!! But when I opened it and looked at it I was surprised! It wasn't the ring I had picked. It was one that I had looked at but that was more. Instead of a total of six xmall diamonds this one has ten. It is a beautiful ring. I asked dad if he had changed it out and he was like... "No.... why?" I told him that they must have given them the wrong one. So my dad, one to never argue about facts pulled out the contract where it said "six round diamonds" I think what happened was after he had written everything up he picked up the wrong ring... I saw him (or at the time thought I did) pick up the wrong one but thought that I must be mistaken... So know I'm going to try to call and see if what they want to do because I want to make sure that the contract will stil apply and I don't want to just keep this one and then when I need somthing done to have them tell me they can't do it. Maybe I'll get to keep this one :-) Anyway here is a picture of the ring I have right now :-)

Hair

Rebecca Jensen — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 15:28:23 -0500

So I'm trying to decide... I'm thinking about dying my hair back dark with subtle highlights when I get back from NH.... or I could leave it light... what do you think?

Ring

Rebecca Jensen — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 10:08:00 -0500

Some of you already know but I want to post it anyway :-). Yesterday my dad and I went out and he bought me the promise ring he told me he would get for my eighteenth birthday :-) It is absolutely gorgeous. It has a white gold band and three small diamonds sitting on either side (so that there are six in all) of a ruby stone. We found it at Shane Co. in Franklin and I love it. I get it on Friday because they have to make one in my size which I found out is a 7 1/2 ( I would have guessed 8 but he said I could even go with a seven) Anywya I'll post pictures when I get it. It's beautiful in case I haven't mentioned that yet.

Fine Arts

Rebecca Jensen — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 11:28:40 -0500

So Fine arts is coming up and I'm going to get sick of this song :-) I'm doing stained glass masquarade by casting crowns. Some of you have seenit. I'm going to try to make it 100x better this time around... we'll see.

To all of you in fine arts it's coming up soon so get to work :-). This is my last year... I think I can honestly say that I don't care (well some yes) but for the most part about how far I make it... I want to be able to feel like I did well. Like I spent the time it took to do a quality job.

On that note I think I'm going to go practice. Hope you all have a great day!

DADDY WON PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD!!!

The end of DQ.....

Rebecca Jensen — Sun, 30 Jul 2006 23:31:40 -0500

At least for me :-) Thanks to everyone who came tonight. It was fun... Oh and to Pastor Kenny who said I needed to do SOMETHING on my last night... I squirted one of my managers with water... and then grabbed ice before going to say goodbye to the other and stuck it down his collar :-) that was fun... Oh and I think he's going to come Sunday night to see the fine arts performances so that should be cool. But I am now officially done and my last night was a blast!!
Goodnight to all and to all a goodnight.

Rebecca Jensen — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 17:01:01 -0500

I love my dad.

Just bits and pieces

Rebecca Jensen — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 10:02:05 -0500

   Something about the colors outside today has put me in a very undefinable mood... but it's good.
    We have bible study tonight and you should all come. We are studying Mark chapter 1 starting with verse 13.
     I put in a notice at work that I will not be working past the end of this month. :-)
    I'm excited about art at the moment... I'm in one of those... when I get home tonight if I still have it then I will finish my dad's painting :-)
   In other news.... it turns out that scuttlebutt is actually a word... it was today's word of the day. That was different... It cool because lately some of the words have been really lame... it was all ones that I knew and that people I didn't really learn from. But now... I can use scuttlebutt wow... that just sounds so strange... hmmm

I got to go to work today

Rebecca Jensen — Sat, 15 Jul 2006 23:43:49 -0500

Rest

Rebecca Jensen — Fri, 14 Jul 2006 00:18:34 -0500

So I spent today at home... not allowed to go anywhere because I am supposed to rest... well it turns out that staying home isn't enough... Joshua said "you didn't do nothing! you cleaned!!" But I didn't much. anyway so I can't go to work tomorrow either... I have to stay home. To me doing nothing is not my favorite... so I am going to try tomorrow... only because I know that if I do then maybe I can actually be doing stuff by saturday without having to take a ten minute break every time and again. so yea... maybe I can get some good movies... after one tonight I'm out. ::giant gasp!!:: I did get to have some fun tonight so that was cool. Thanks to cool friends!!
luv ya

Weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of 
Then cruel is just how far we have to fall 
I am not immune 
I only want to be loved 
But I feel safe behind the fire wall 
Can I lose my need to impress 
If You want the truth, I need to confess 

I'm not alright 
I'm broken inside, broken inside 
And all I go through, 
It leads me to You, it leads me to You 

Burn away the pride, bring me to my weakness 
'Till everything I hide behind is gone 
When I'm open wide 
With nothing left to cling to 
Only You are there to lead me on 
Cause honestly, 
I'm not that strong 

I'm not alright 
I'm broken inside, broken inside 
And all I go through, 
It leads me to You, it leads me to You 

(And I move, and I move, and I move) 
Closer to You 
(And I move, and I move, and I move) 
Closer to You 
(And I move, and I move, and I move) 
Closer to You 

I'm not alright 
I'm broken inside, broken inside 

I'm broken inside, broken inside 
And all I go through, 
It leads me to You, it leads me to You 

I'm not alright 
I'm not alright 
I'm not alright 

That's why I need You

Sleep

Rebecca Jensen — Wed, 05 Jul 2006 13:45:53 -0500

I've slept all the way through the last two nights :-)... eight and nine hours... and now I get to go running :-) I'm off work today :-)

Strength to the weary... our God is awesome... He knows we need it.

Rebecca Jensen — Mon, 03 Jul 2006 11:14:09 -0500

29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Words

Rebecca Jensen — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 08:53:58 -0500

When you're laughing at that quip and everyone around you seems to be having a good cachinnation... look around to find at who's expense this laughter seems to come... the one who's smile is forced, who stands trying to dismiss or disregard the words said in jest that still cut too close. For while this person may be 'a good sport' and to only come back with their own crack... when no one's looking they may absorb those words more than anyone could guess...

Just been a challange to me lately... anyway...

James 1:26 If any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless.

1Peter 3:10 10 For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

Ephesians 5:4 Entirely out of place[among christians] is obscene, silly, and vulgar talk; but instead, let there be thanksgiving.

Summer fun!

Rebecca Jensen — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 23:44:57 -0500

Tonight was a blast!! Just hanging out... playing around (animal game and vollyball with a christmas lights net) and listening to a bunch of guys playing guitars and singing... smoothies and friends ahhh it was great!

Answer

Rebecca Jensen — Fri, 09 Jun 2006 09:35:19 -0500

Well I have made my half of the descision... My dad approached me with a request a little while back, that I would consider homeschooling my two youngest brothers. At the time I believed that this would mean dropping either completely from college for the next year or moving to part-time. Both of these would be detrimental to my scholarships. I had a day of of work and I stayed with my little brothers and did a lot of investigating on different class options and tried many different compilations of items.... I really want to be there to help my little brothers. I also want, however, to keep moving toward my goals. So with these things in mind I actually came up with a schedule that would allow me to do both :-). Granted it will be trying to fit everything in together and to balance, but I believe that I can do it. Now dad has to finish looking into private schools to determine what really is the best option, but at least my side of the descision is made. I can do it. I am willing. I love my lil' brothers :-)

Rebecca Jensen — Wed, 07 Jun 2006 21:55:31 -0500

So I was going to watch a movie with my dad tonight. I borrowed a movie and came home because he said he wanted to watch something with me.... well I got here and he has already gone to bed so I am supposing that that means that we will not be watching a movie tonight... ::sighs::

Other thoughts ::beware of ramblings::
I am beginning to think that if I gave away some of the things that I feel responsible for that maybe it would actually be easier on everyone else... that sounds strange... but right now I don't have time to do all of the things that need to be done... so I don't ever get "caught up," this causes me to stress and also to constantly ask favors of everyone else... I have learned to ask for help but only when there is absolutely no way that I can do it myself... If I turned some things over to others, then 1. I wouldn't be so stressed (which would make others happier to be around me or at least it more tolarable) 2. Things might actually get done besides what absolutely HAS to be done RIGHT NOW (which would make dad hapier and everyone else not feeling so guilty). 3. I wouldn't constantly be asking others to do things for me and they would be able to say 'look at all that I have to do' in that brag/complain manner that I wouold willingly pawn off. 4. I would be able to have a more clearly defined list of things I need to do so tha maybe I could be more efficent. 5. It would set things up so that thigs will run more smoothly even when I am not here. 6. I would be able to get things done that others need me to do for them. hmmmm....

Yea... my lil' brothers... ::sigh:: :-)... decision made.

People

Rebecca Jensen — Fri, 26 May 2006 22:29:04 -0500

I've decided... I am a people person... I am the only person at DQ (of the people I have worked with) who actually likes working the window... Everyone else says they don't like dealing with people... on the other hand... I don't like working with people who don't do as well as they could and should at their job... I don't like having to sit there and watch someone do something that I know that I could do better... they can do better... they just don't and that annoys me... so does that make me difficult to work with?... Anyway... if you want to see me at DQ come through drive-through when we are really slow (then I can stop and chat at the window).

Until we... blog... again?

Photography

Rebecca Jensen — Thu, 25 May 2006 00:58:03 -0500

So certain events and people have gotten me thinking about photography again... I haven't done any in a while simply because of the cost of film.. however... I have an idea... what I really like doing is to do those photo shoots that everyone always wants of themselves but they will never actually do for themselves... you know... the ones that are punk or that are country.... black and white or in somethign specific... the ones out in a field or in a park... laughing or not smiling... high contrast or glowy... but like I said I can't afford to... so here is my solution... if there is anyone who wants to have fun with pictures I will do them of you if you can pay for the film... that way I get the fun and experience of helping you get what you want and you get pictures of yourself and I don't dip into my college savings... anyway... anyone who has ever wanted to do this kind of thing let me know... :-) talk to you all later

Rebecca Jensen — Tue, 23 May 2006 22:28:31 -0500

The mind.... Which is more real... our perception, or "reality".... I guess were our perception more true than perception itself would be reality? There are things I know to be true and logical.... and then the things that I feel.

Long time

    Well I haven't posted in quite some time. Mostly because nothing eventful has happened that is quality sharing material, then again, I suppose that has never before stopped me. I would like to say felicitations (I became weary of the incessant "congradulations") to all those who have now graduated.
    In other news DQ proved itself to be as I had expected - easy. Though I suppose that I didn't take the job simply for the fun of it so shouldn't expect much from it. I am unaccustomed to wasting so much time. I realize that for me every minute I am on the clock, I recieve pay. However, there are many points where there is aboslutely nothing that can be done. There really isn't even much more that I can clean. I was thinking the other day that there must be a more efficient system. So many people stand around and do nothing. I am also convinced that if they had people who were competent, that, in most cases, they could get by easily with about one third of the people which they have on the clock at any given time.
    hmmm.... that is enough rambling about that.... I slept almost 7 hours last night. I suppose that is newsworthy. Oh, another thing of note; I actually splurged and bought canvas! I also bought medium -yay! I spent nearly $40 at Hobby Lobby. Yes I know... a bit extravagant to just spend on yourself for no reason but I couldn't start my art again until I did :-) I actually don't feel badly about it. I am going to start my art again. It was hard not to want to get more and more quality oils and more canvas... I was looking through a catalog the other day at linen canvas and new brushes and palette knives (mine is really really awful). I don't care what debates artists have had; linen is incontrovertibly better then cotton... then of course it is more expensive, so for now I will use cotton.
    For those few of you who are still reading, please excuse my verbosity. This post is quite lengthy for the amount to which it actually pertains. I wish you all a great day. Stop by and see me :-)
