It's been awhile. I've been on checking peoples posts and stuff, just...not posting. I've been pretty busy. School, Fine Arts, everything. We had competition this weekend. I competed in Large Drama, small Drama, Drama Solo, and Youth Choir. I advanced in all of them and got first with Choir and my Large Drama. I was pretty excited, especially because this is the first time I've ever advanced in anything other than choir.
One more month of school. I have finals this year, which is really weird and is...kinda freaking me out. I've never had a final before, and I don't do well with tests. So anyway...umm..not much going on here. I'm really looking forward to the summer. No more school baby!! Wahoo!! Well, I've gotta go finish my room so i don't get grounded. Leave me lots of comments!

Gentle and Quiet Spirit

Marybeth Jensen — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 07:24:29 -0600

In regards to my last post, if I/we are longing for something that is of great worth in the sight of God...what is it that we are longing for? What is 'a gentle and quiet spirit'? What does it mean?

Marybeth Jensen — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 12:56:31 -0600

1 Peter 3:3-4 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead,
it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle
and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.

I don't know how many times I've read those verses, but i was reading them the other night, and it made me feel...very good. I don't know how to describe it. I want to gave a gentle and quiet spirit for it is of great worth in God's sight. It makes me smile.
I've also been reading in Hosea. I just started the other day, and I think that God had a good idea when he used that as a parallel. It's just...yes, He had a good idea.

Marybeth Jensen — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 21:58:37 -0600

Wow, it's been a while. Not much has happened. I'm out of school on Christmas break; yesterday was my last day. My birthday was last Friday and it was all good. I got a lot of presents, and I'm still getting them. It's exciting!! :-) I worked for Chris yesterday after school and again today. No me gusta. I mostly worked with mulch (sp?) and no my hands are practically stained black. I wonder if bleach would work...anyway. I'm really sad that it's not cold yet. I mean really, it's already the 15th of December and it's still warm enough to work in a T-shirt. It's so sad. :-( ummm...like i said, not much is happening. I lead a pretty boring life.::shrugs:: God is good. He has blessed me in so many ways; continually showing me new things. He is amazing.

**** Edit
I forgot to say...I got my permit!!! I've only driven a manual, and...i'm not so good at the whole starting, stopping, and downshifting, but other than that...i'm pretty good! ;-)

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

Storm

Marybeth Jensen — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 16:03:05 -0500

How long have I been in this storm? 
So overwhelmed by the ocean’s shapeless form 
Water's getting harder to tread 
With these waves crashing over my head 

If I could just see you 
Everything would be all right 
If I happen to see you 
This darkness would turn to light 

And I will walk on water 
And you will catch me if I fall 
And I will get lost into your eyes 
And everything will be all right 
And everything will be all right 

I know you didn’t bring me out here to drown 
So why am I ten feet under and upside down 
Barely surviving has become my purpose 
Because I’m so used to living underneath the surface 

If I could just see you 
Everything would be all right 
If I'd see you 
This darkness would turn to light 

And I will walk on water 
And you will catch me if I fall 
And I will get lost into your eyes 
And everything will be all right 

And I would walk on water 
You will catch me if I fall 
And I will get lost into your eyes 
And everything will be alright 
You know everything is alright

FALL BREAK!!!

Marybeth Jensen — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:59:46 -0500

Tomorrow is the first day of our Fall Break...well, we really get a half day, but still...then I get to sleep in on Friday, Saturday, and Monday! YES! Oh, it makes me so happy...::sigh of contentment:: I'll probably clean up in the house...Go Riding! read some books, clean my room really well, work, and chill. I'm so excited! Finally...a break. It makes me so happy. We get our report cards in the mail sometime soon...dad had a parent/teacher meeting yesterday and he said that all the teachers liked us. That's pretty cool. So anyway...I'm happy. The Judgment's coming up really soon! I'm looking forward to it.

Fall Break

Marybeth Jensen — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 16:34:37 -0500

So, while all you slackers are wasting your time on Fall Break doing nothing, I'm going to school, slaving away and making good grades. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I don't get Fall Break until the 19th. We have a half day Thursday, then we get Friday and Monday off. That's our Fall Break. 2 1/2 days! And ya'll get A WHOLE WEEK! ::sigh:: I feel better now. Hope ya'll had a fun break...slackers. :-)

Latin

Marybeth Jensen — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 15:50:48 -0500

Latin is dead
As dead as it can be
First it killed the Romans
And now it's killing me!

Marybeth Jensen — Thu, 07 Sep 2006 16:50:06 -0500

I started school last Tuesday. It's definately different. Going to school for 6 1/2 hours a day, and then coming home and having lots of homework to do is not something that I've ever done before. It's interesting trying to get homework done in time for Band practice, Drama, Bible Studies and church. This year I'm taking Latin, Spanish, Algebra 2, Biology, Art, Art History, English, PE, and Bible. I only have 2 classes on Thursdays though, which is cool. That means I have time to do homework and stuff, but it's kind of boring. Scratch that, it's really boring. Anyway...um, yeah. There's 13 people in the high school (including Isaiah and me) and about 50 kids in the entire school (3-12th grade). We had a watermelon seed spitting contest today. I didn't participate. I don't really like watermelon, and I really don't like spitting things, so Mr. Gordon (the principle/owner guy) said I didn't have to play. Then we went and played jailbreak. I was it. 7 people against 42. I almost died. I was wearing flip-flops too which didn't make it any easier.
Tonight I have a lot of Latin homework. A lot to memorize. But other than that, I really don't have too much to do. I think I'm goign to watch a movie with my dad :-) I don't know what else to say, other than that ya'll are really bad at giving comments and you should give me lots.

We're Back

Marybeth Jensen — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 09:30:05 -0500

We're back. We flew 3 different times yesterday. Took a flight to Philadelphia, then changed planes and flew to Raleight, NC and stayed on that plane and flew to Nashville. Our first flight was at 12. We didn't get to Nashville until 5. I had 7 packets of peanuts the whole day. hehe. 2 on each flight, and then Joshua gave me one of his on the way to Nashville. I was really hungry.
We went tubing Monday. I am really sore from that. It was a lot of fun. Zay and I were on the tube together and at times we were trying to push each other off, but for the most part we were just trying to stay on. It was really bumpy, and oh so fun.
I took a lot of pictures of the trip. It was a lot of fun. I got a nice tan, but now I'm peeling in places. :-( I'm excited about church tonight. Happy to see my friends, and even happier to be in church. That's the main thing I don't like about vacations...no church. I mean, sure, I can have my own little church, but it's different. I'm glad to be back.

Marybeth Jensen — Sun, 20 Aug 2006 09:22:13 -0500

It's miserable today. Rainy. Overcast. Windy. Nasty. That means no beach. :-( I don't think we're going to do anything today. I'm hoping that we are going to go ice skating, but I don't think we're going to. Oh well. I get to hang out with my cool family. Have fun at church everyone!

Marybeth Jensen — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 18:25:33 -0500

We went sailing today...on a sail boat!! It was amazing! It was kind of overcast today, but the temperature was nice. It was really cool to sit at the front of the boat and go up and crash down with the waves--feeling the ocean spray...ahhhh. It was so nice. We sailed to the Isle of Shoals...kind of. We drove to it, passed it, turned around and came back. It was pretty cool. I love sailing. Right now I feel kind of...woozy. Like everything is rocking back and forth. It's...not very cool. But it was still really fun. I think tomorrow we're going to the beach (weather permitting) and Monday we're going tubing!! I love tubing. Knee boarding is pretty cool, but my uncle doesn't have a knee board. He has a wake board, but I've never gone wake boarding, and from what I've heard of it, it's pretty painful if you're not good, and I dont' think I would be good at it, and pain and me...we don't go well together. Haha.

Marybeth Jensen — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 20:42:24 -0500

We arrived in New Hampshire this afternoon. We flew to Maryland and then took another flight to NH. The flight to Maryland was absolutely amazing. It was a cloudy morning, and we flew above the clouds. It made me think of that song off of Aladdin. Oh, come on, you know you know it...you know, the one that goes:

(Aladdin)
  I can show you the world,
  Shining, shimmering, splendid,
  Tell me princess now when did you last let your heart decide?
  
  I can open your eyes, 
  Take you wonder by wonder,
  Over sideways and under on a magic carpet ride
  
  A whole new world,
  A new fantastic point of view.
  No one to tell us no,
  Or where to go,
  Or say we're only dreaming.
  
  (Jasmine)
  A whole new world,
  A dazzling place I never knew
  But when I'm way up here, 
  It's crystal clear
  That now I'm in a whole new world with you
  (Aladdin) Now I'm in a whole new world with you
  
  (Jasmine)
  Unbelievable sights,
  Indescribable feelings.
  Soaring, tumbling, free-wheeling through an endless diamond sky.
  A whole new world...
  (Aladdin) Don't you dare close your eyes
  
  (Jasmine)
  A hundred thousand things to see,
  (Aladdin) Hold your breath it gets better
  
  (Jasmine)
  I'm like a shooting star,
  I've come so far,
  I can't go back to where I used to be
  (Aladdin) A whole new world
  
  (Jasmine) Every turn a surprise
  (Aladdin) With new horizons to pursue
  (Jasmine) Every moment red letter
  
  (Both)
  I'll chase them anywhere
  There's time to spare
  Let me share this whole new world with you
  
  (Aladdin sings, Jasmine echoes)
  A whole new world (A whole new world)
  That's where we'll be (That's where we'll be)
  A thrilling chase (A wondrous place
  (Both) For you and me.

Oh man, it was beautiful. Clear blue sky above, smooth clouds below with the exception of those few times where there were the huge bumpy clouds that looked like mashed potatoes. Gosh it was gorgeous. I was awestruck by the awesome powers of God. He must have had a lot of fun creating this world. The hills, the oceans, the mountains, sunrises and sunsets, clouds, rainbows...God is awesome. I'm glad that he enjoys beautiful things. They make me happy. I don't understand how people can think that the world just randomly appeared, or happened by chance. That amazes me. Yeah, God is cool.

Tomorrow we're going to the beach. I'm hoping the water isn't too incredibly cold. I'm also hoping that I'm going to be able to go ice skating and tubing while I'm here. I love doing that sort of stuff. I'm also hoping for a tan. mmmm, I love tans.

See ya'll in a week! I'll try to keep updating.

Marybeth Jensen — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 15:29:41 -0500

    Fine Arts was amazing. We went to Islands of Adventure and I rode 2 rollercoasters. It was pretty fun. I didn't like the standing in line much, because the longer we were in line, the more I tried talking myself out of the rides and the more freaked out I got, but once we were on the ride it was all good. I hung out with Kate, Brianna, and Paul the whole day. It was awesome.
    I'm leaving for New Hampshire tomorrow. Joshua and Jonathan have been up there for 3 or 4 weeks and Chris left last week. Rebecca's leaving today and Zay, Dad and I are flying out tomorrow. I can't wait. We'll be gone for a week...beach, family, fun, food...mmm good. I'm disappointed that I'm going to miss Pastor Jackson's sermons on Sunday. I love hearing him preach.
    To all of you leaving for Lee this week, good-bye and I'll miss you. I hope you all have fun. I can't believe you people are leaving me. :-(
    School doesn't start until the 29th for me. That's pretty cool. We're going to a private school this year, for those of you who don't know. I'm...trying to be excited about it.
    Well, I've got to go finish cleaning and packing. See you guys later!

My God

Marybeth Jensen — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 15:53:57 -0500

Isn't God awesome! Isn't it amazing to think that Jesus is coming back for us soon, that He's going to take me into his arms and say that He loves me...isn't that just...amazing? I get excited thinking about it. God has answered my prayer. For so long I have been praying for God to ignite a fire in me, that I would have a desire to read the Word, a desire to pray, and a desire to draw close to him, and I ahve that. I am so excited at the thought of going home and reading my Bible, of finding more things that He has to say to me. Excited about praying, telling Him how much love I have for him, and listening to Him speak to me. My God is an awesome God. He's in control, no matter what happens, and He's got a plan, and I'm confident everything is going to work out fine. He spoke to me on Sunday night, specifically to me. I love my God. He's a God for today. He's amazing.

Nashville Shores!!

Marybeth Jensen — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 20:52:27 -0500

     I just got back from spending all day at Nashville Shores! It was awesome. I have a really dark tan/burn; you know, one of those deep deep redish brown tans that look really cool? Yah, that kind. So anyway, there was this one ride...it was really scary, and Hannah Breaux (I love that girl) said it was the best one there so I decided I would go on it with her (I didn't know what it was at the time). Basically, it was a humungous U-shaped plastic thing with water running on it that was really really steep. Not cool. I went down it and told her that I was never going on something like that again. Well, Adam comes up about an hour later and they convinced me to go on a 3 person tube down it. Adam wanted to hear me scream (I am proud to say that I didn't scream either time, but Adam yelled when I went with him and Hannah screamed. Hah! Losers) Anyway...Adam flew off it and hurt himself. I know, I know, it was my fault. I shouldn't have caved into the peer presure around me. I feel awful (not really). I got to go kayaking for the first time ever...go down ginormous slides...swim, and hang out with my friends. I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow from kayaking. I don't usually use those muscles, and I kayaked for a long time.
    On a different note...My grandparents are here from New Hampshire. It's good to see them--it's been a while. They're staying in my room while I sleep on the couch in the recreation room. Fun stuff. I also found out that 3 or 4 days after I get back from Fine Arts my family is going to New Hampshire for a week! YES! One week of being lazy...lying on the beach...soaking up the sun...playing in the water...yes

Marybeth Jensen — Sat, 17 Jun 2006 16:27:50 -0500

We have a puppy!!! I'm so excited! I got back from my trip to youth camp and NY, and I found out that dad got Joshua and Jonathan a little chocolate lab for their birthday! She's so cute! I don't know how old she is, but she is adorable. I picked her up and recieved a whole bunch of kisses all over my face, and whoah baby! does she have puppy breath! haha. Anyway...my trips were good. I had a lot of fun on them...yesterday I went to Dollywood. That was a lot of fun. umm...I really don't want to go into detail about my trips, so I'll just say that I had fun and leave it at that. I'm glad to be home though. Jonathan came in my room at 8 this morning and asked me to play nintendo with him. I declined the offer, and he came in an hour later with Faith (the puppy) and left her on my bed until I got up. ::sigh:: little brothers. lol. Well...I'll see ya'll tomorrow.

Life

Marybeth Jensen — Sat, 03 Jun 2006 14:51:01 -0500

Last night was the cookout. I played volleyball almost the whole entire time. It was fun. I love volleyball, except for the fact that I am really bad at it, other than that, it's great! Today I went to the yard sale for FA. I didn't have anything that I could sell, so I got tables and helped people set up and sell things, and just sat around. Pretty fun. Joshua and Jonathan (my little brothers) are having a birthday party today, so that should be...interesting. I'm leaving for camp on Monday!! I'm so excited! Then on Friday I'm going to New York (pretty sure I said that in my last post, but oh well.) Packing for the two events should be interesting seemings how I'm not coming home before I go to NY, but whatever. I'm going to have loads of fun (I hope). See ya'll later. bye

Almost Done With SCHOOL!!!

Marybeth Jensen — Thu, 25 May 2006 09:11:45 -0500

Tomorrow's my last day of school! Technically, I could finish today (if I went ahead of schedule) but really, there is no reason to, and I don't want to, so I'm fine with saying that tomorrow I will be done with my sophmore year of high school. I have a 4.0. That makes me happy. Well, no, not necessarily. If I make a 64% or below on this English test I have to take then I will lose my 4.0, but that's not going to happen. I'm going to make a 123%...hopefully. Anyway...Youth Camp is coming up soon! I'm excited about that, nad then I'm going to New York with Mrs. Jeana, Mr. Randy, and Bekah. YAY!! Enought of that. I'm gonna go. I'll see you all later. Luv ya'll

Marybeth Jensen — Sun, 21 May 2006 15:33:24 -0500

I had a fun weekend. I went to the women's banquet on Friday night (that was interesting) and then I spent the night at the Lewis's. Went to Oakland's graduation Saturday morning and then went to lunch with the McCann's, Morgans, Lewis's, and Gray's. We went to the Daily Buffet. Mmmm. I then went to Wal-Mart with the amazingly great Mrs. Jeana, Liz, and Beka. Mrs. Jeana bought me a shirt. Yay! We went back to the Lewis's and hung around there and I played with Daniel (the bundle of cuteness) and...yeah, hung out. Then Josh, Liz, Paul, Chris M., Rebecca, Mr. Morgan and I went to the Mellow Mushroom and waited for about 45 minutes for our table, went in and ordered, and then waited another 45 minutes for our food. Rebecca and I split a calizone...it was amazingly yummy.
The graduation banquet is tonight. I'm serving. I love serving, although it is kind of frusturating when you rush to get food to the people and then have to stand around for 5 minutes for the other servers to get their food...it takes a while, but it's fun.
Well anyway, School's almost out!!!! I'm so happy!! It makes me so happy!! I only have english and Algebra 2 to do, and I should be done with those this week! Yipee!!! Hoorah!!
I guess I'll see ya'll tonight.

Fun

Marybeth Jensen — Sat, 06 May 2006 20:22:52 -0500

Last night was the cookout. It was...pretty cool. I kinda got into a water fight with Tyler Ramsey, but it was fun. After the cookout I went home with Amanda to spend the night. We stopped at Kroger on the way to their house and we got some ice cream stuff. They were yummy. We kinda just sat in her room for a while talking, then we watched a movie, and then we went back into her room and...I'm not sure what we did. I think we talked for a really long time and then had a pillow fight or something...not sure. Oh, and then we sucked helium...that was so fun! I think we should get a whole tank of helium and suck it all...it is hilarious. Well, we finally went to sleep, and then we got out of bed at around 8:30, had another pillow fight (I think...I'm not sure) and ate some breakfast and went on a walk. That was fun. Anyway...ummm...skipping some stuff...we went to a cookout thing and I played some football and horseshoe...that was fun. At the end Amanda dumped a bottle of green tea on me and Zay dumped freezing cold water on me...right when we were about to get in the car. Grrr...I had a good time though.
Well....I'll see ya'll tomorrow. Love ya'll

Fine Arts

Marybeth Jensen — Sun, 30 Apr 2006 12:29:43 -0500

Fine Arts was this weekend. I think everyone did very well. I advanced only in our choir, but hey, I'm going to Orlando!!! I was hoping I would advance in at least 1 thing other than choir...but I didn't, and that's ok. I did my best. I got a lot of compliments on our Human Video. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. I almost laughed when I looked at the audience all swaying and laughing during 'I Can Be Your Friend'. It was great. I was 'in the zone'...I've got to go eat lunch. I will see ya'll tonight. Have a great Sunday, and congrats to all in FA. see ya'll

Marybeth Jensen — Fri, 28 Apr 2006 12:09:37 -0500

Yay Me!! Fine Arts is today, and I've got a cheerleader! ME! haha.

Marybeth Jensen — Sun, 16 Apr 2006 18:55:55 -0500

Happy Easter!!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! We didn't really do anything really special...we went over to a firneds house to have lunch and then we played some games...mostly Jonathan, Isaiah and I threw a tennis ball around in a circle and everytime we would miss the ball my dad would squirt us with a squirt gun...a lot...and sinc none of us are good at ball we were pretty soaked. haha. It was pretty fun. Well...Good job to everyone that was in the Trilogy or helped with it! Ya'll did an awesome job. I know you guys worked hard at it! I'm kinda disappointed that we aren't having any service on Wednesday, but I don't really have any say in the matter, so it doesn't really matter what I think... : )

Easter...I'm amazed yet again that God loves me...why in the world does he? I've been thinking and thinking...and I really can't think of any reason for Him to. He blows my mind...He is so awesome!!! I think that a lot of the time we get callused to the crucifixion and stuff...I know I do, and I think that we take for granted the fact that God loves us...I try not to, but a lot of the time I do, and that bugs me.

Anyway...life is good...I love you all...it was great seeing you Adam...and...I will see you guys later. You all should come to Bible Study Tuesday night...we really would love for all of you people to come...love ya'll

    Well, the wedding went really well. I caught the bouqet, played the piano, cried, and was the unofficial flower girl. They're so cute.
    We have this little poster thing in our school room and it has a picture of a sunset on it and it says:
                                     Two Foundation Facts
                                 of Human Enlightenment:
                                       1. There is a God.
                                     2. You are not Him.

I think it's funny. It makes me smile. I hope I get to spend the night at the Lewis's this weekend. I haven't in the past 2 weeks (I know, it's been such a long time! But I usually spend the night every week). They're so cool. Mrs. Jeana in all her motherlyness, Beka in all her cool sisterness, Mr. Randy in all his niceness, Chris in his brotherness, and Paul in his...um, weirdness. lol. Yeah, they're great. All you guys are great. I hope there's a cookout tomorrow night. I'll see ya'll later. goodbye

My days

Jeff's getting married tomorrow! That is so...weird. My grandparents got here yesterday and tomorrow my aunt and some of my cousins and some friends from Michigan are getting here, I'm told that one of my uncles and aunts came in today too (I didn't know they were coming and I didn't know they were here, but it's cool.). So today Rebecca and I decorated for the wedding. While she went to class this morning I was at the Lewis's...Mrs. Jeana and I went and got a cappacino and then we just kind of sat around and talked (well, I talked and she mopped her floor. lol). Then Rebecca and I came home and cleaned up in our room and bathroom and then went back into town for decorating. We got back home at around 7:30. Loooooong day. Tomorrow I get to sleep in and then we (Rebecca and I) have an appointment to get our hair cut and styled and stuff, and then we're going to Anady's place to help her get ready and then we're going to the wedding! Fun fun fun stuff. I'm still having a hard time comprehending the fact that my brother is getting married...yeah that's kinda weird.
Sooooo...I hope ya'll have had a wonderful spring break! I will see you guys...some of you tomorrow and others on Sunday. Love ya'll.

Grrrr, so I had this really long post, and I clicked the 'Publish Entry' button, but then my computer did something weird, and it erased it all. Rats. ummm...basic rundown...Youth Rally last night was really awesome. My brother is getting married this Saturday, family and friends are coming down to be here, we have Spring Break this week...we're cleaning the house and yard...I screamed too much last night (and I have a cold) so I have no voice...and, yeah, I think that about sums it up. Ok. I'll see ya'll tomorrow. Love ya'll.

Life...

I was told to post this on my phusebox becasue everyone I told had already heard, but Mrs. Laura's going to have a baby!!! I'm so excited! Ok...
So today I finished my school before lunch time so I had apporximately 4 hours before dad picked me up...guess what I got to do all day? Walk through the woods in flip-flops moving brush to burn and cut up for fire-wood...not fun. It was a beautiful day though. There was this one dead tree that Joshua, Jonathan and Dakota Gray were trying to get unhooked from the tree that it was leaning on so they could get it up to Mr. David, so I went and I climbed this tree with no branches and pushed it down. It was so much fun! I got kind of scraped up, but that's ok. That was about the high-light of my day. We got home and I smelled like smoke (I hate the smell of smoke on my clothes) but, it's all good.
This weekend I was told is going to be a work weekend...which means we will be working to thoroughly clean the yards and stuff--definately not cool. I mean yeah, it'll be cool to get it all clean, but I don't like working outside very much, unless I'm getting paid for it, which I'm not.
Our Tuesday night Bible Studies have been really good lately, or at least, I think so. I really been learning a lot from them, drawing closer to God. Ya'll should come. Free food at 6, then Bible Study starting at 7 and ending at 8:30...yes, ya'll should definately come.
Well, I'm gonna go, I will talk to all you crazy people later. Love ya'll. Leave comments.

Sooooo...let's see....last night I went to a play at LaVergne High with Rebecca and Chris Morgan. We met The Cohl's (Stacy was in it), Megan Harper, and Mrs. Julie. Afterwards I went to the Lewis's and spent the night there. I had a good time. Today Mrs. Jeana, Liz, Beka, Daniel and I went to Wal-Mart and I got a clothes hamper!! (I know, sounds weird, but I have been wanting one since my birthday. hehe). After I got home, I started to clean my closet out...I worked on it for 3 hours straight, taking 1 break to go on-line and check my e-mail, and another one to run up and down the hill a couple times...eh. My room is a complete mess. There are piles of clothes everywhere...but my closet looks better! I'll try (if I can get the camera to work right) to post before and after pictures...well, at least, once I finish it.
I heard we were supposed to have a movie night out at my house, but I'm not sure exactly if that's going to happen, because I also heard that almost no one would be able to come or something..I don't know.
Fine Arts is going pretty well. The Human Video I'm in is...pretty good. I feel better about it now than when I first heard the songs, but it's still pretty weird. I think Chris and Stacy are doing a good job instructing. We have to do some pretty stupid stuff in it, but it'll make people-and hopefully the judges-laugh, and that's what counts. I hope we advance...this is the first HV I've ever been in. Tomorrow I have to go to Manchester for a wedding party for my brother....It is so weird to think of him getting married...It is just now sinking in...weird. I'm going to be a flower girl, and I'm also going to play 2 songs at their wedding. I'm happy for them. Anady (Jeff's fiance) is absolutely beautiful. Well...I'm gonna go. I'll see ya'll tomorrow. Love you guys!

Ok, so there isn't any place for me to write my actual post, so I guess I'll put in in the Title....peace...what a wonderful thing. I love it. God is indescribable, friends are awesome, life is...life. Love ya'll

El Shaddai

Marybeth Jensen — Thu, 23 Feb 2006 20:17:32 -0600

El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
El-Elyon na Adonai, 
Age to age You're still the same, 
By the power of the name. 
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
Erkamka na Adonai, 
*we will praise and lift you high*,
El shaddai

Through your love and through the ram, 
You saved the son of Abraham; 
Through the power of your hand, 
Turned the sea into dry land. 
To the outcast on her knees, 
You were the God who really sees, 
And by Your might, 
You set Your children free. 

El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
El-Elyon na Adonai, 
Age to age You're still the same, 
By the power of the name. 
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
Erkamka na Adonai, 
*we will praise and lift you high*, 
El Shaddai. 

Through the years You've made it clear, 
That the time of Christ was near, 
Though the people couldn't see 
What Messiah ought to be. 
Though Your Word contained the plan, 
They just could not understand 
Your most awesome work was done 
Through the frailty of Your Son. 

El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
El-Elyon na Adonai, 
Age to age You're still the same, 
By the power of the name. 
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, 
Erkamka na Adonai, 
I will praise you till I die, 
El Shaddai.  (repeat chorus)

I'm sure ya'll have all heard this song before. It's called El Shaddai. I've always liked this song, but I've never really known what it meant...does anyone one know?

Snow....again

Marybeth Jensen — Sat, 18 Feb 2006 10:18:58 -0600

IT"S SNOWING AGAIN!!! Tennessee weather...gotta love it! 67 one day, then 27 the next with snow. But, I like snow so it's all good.
Yesterday was my dad's birthday so we cleaned the house for him, then met him for dinner (we went to the Daily Buffet over by Wal-Mart...I like their chicken on a stick. That stuff is yummy.) Jeff and Anady and my Grandparents were there...it was a lot of fun. Then we came back and my dad and i watched Sahara...I love that movie. It's so funny. Anyway....NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY!!! yay! that makes me smile. Well, I hope ya'll have a wonderful day (play in the snow) and I'll see ya'll tomorrow. Bye

Snow

Marybeth Jensen — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 08:10:07 -0600

Look at all the SNOW!! It's all like...white. hehe. I love snow. It's kinda cold, but I like it anyway. It is still snowing at my house, we have about 1 1/2 inches so far, hopefully more by the end of the day. I wish ya'll could see it. It was prettier on Saturday, but still. I'm thinking that maybe...just maybe...Mrs. Dawn won't come pick us up today because there's too much snow on the roads. We would still have to do school, but I could get a lot more done today if I stayed home...I could do some laundry, clean up my room, file stuff, pick up the house, and just chill...hmm...anyway. Yeah, It's snowing. I'll see ya'll later.
