Day 01 - Introduce yourself.
I'm the type of person that has issues just talking about myself. One thing I really am good at though is answering questions when they are directly asked to me. Ask me about myself and I can answer. Just tell me to talk and I'm speechless. Hard to believe huh?
Well on that note I decided to do one of those 30 days of questions to answers. This will accomplish a few things. It will force me to work through things about myself in the public eye and it will help me, hopefully, be more active in keeping a blog alive. I haven't done that since I was a regular base user of livejournal.com. That's taking in back old school.
Well day one is to introduce myself. Hi! I'm Rebekah Jean Drake. I go by Becky, but sign everything BeckyJean. I have a thing about really wanting that to stick, but it has yet to work. In high school I was just BeckyDrake (said all as one word). In Chico I'm BJ Drake to a close couple. Now, I'm BeckyJean to a few, Becky to most, and BJD to one.
I am 26 years old and tend to forget. On more than a few occasions I have found myself having to do the math to figure out my age. I am a young professional (if you can call me professional) that is applying to get my Masters but not sure even if I get in if I'll go.
I am the youngest of three daughters to parents that are still married, which is rare in this day and age. Both my older sisters are married to great guys. All three couples in my family have the strongest bond of love I've ever seen. I have often been asked how I can be a cynic of love when I am surrounded by what love is and should be. My answer to that is that I'm logical and love is not. I can't comprehend something so great as love.
Speaking of things I can not comprehend. I am a Christian. I love Jesus fully with the love that I don't understand. God is above anything a human can understand. I am reminded of this every day. He is so vast and grand that I can't express how I just know and feel that He is the Absolute.
In conclusion. I am a 26 year old Christian named BeckyJean. Those are the only solid things and I'm okay with that.

Why do I feel this way?
I had one of the best days that I've had in a long time. Yet, I'm laying in bed right now kinda sad feeling... maybe even slightly depressed. That isn't how this should be. I shall try and sleep it off.
But first:
Today's high: Morning adventure with Jessica and the full day of randomness with Paige!
Today's low: This feeling right now, also not having my new curtains thick enough, and making Skyler sad.

Work.
So I started my devotional again today. I don't know why I have a problem sticking with it, but I will remember to check facebook when I wake up. That makes me totally bummed. I think my new thing will be unless I've spent time with Jesus and in His word I'm not going on facebook. I want to crave my morning time with Jesus and it makes me bummed that I don't.
Today in my devotional it has the phase, "Nature is divine creation; culture is human cultivation." I just really liked that. I think it is completely true. God has given us the perfect gift or the world and we have made it our own, whether good or bad. The devotion also talks about work becoming a pribilege when we see it as a collaboration with God. I have heard many times that to do my work to honor the Lord. It's just a different mindset and view when I look as it as having God be my cubemate/coworker. It's kinda cool. He is there to talk through my stress and I just need to remember that.
