I know that my redeemer lives!

I truly know that My Savior and Redeemer lives. I have felt it in my heart. The Holy Ghost has testified to me that it is true, and I can not deny it.

The Hymn "I Know that my Redeemer Lives" say it better than I can, so I will let it speak for me:

I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead.
He lives, my ever-living Head.
He lives to bless me with his love.
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed.
He lives to bless in time of need.

He lives to grant me rich supply.
He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint.
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears.
He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.

He lives, my kind, wise heav’nly Friend.
He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing.
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives and grants me daily breath.
He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare.
He lives to bring me safely there.

He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”

Especially the 2nd vers means a lot to me. Cuz I have seen a lot of that in my life.

I that Christ is my Savior and Redeemer. I know that he suffered and died for me. I know he was resurrected.

I know that my Redeemer lives.

The girl you saw me with...

You inquired as to who the girl you saw me with was, the answer is simple. I am a charitable man and took pity on a crazy american that was visiting Danmark. End of story.

@ The Airport...

Here I am, at the Amsterdam airport at 0405 am. 3 hours until take-off. I haven't slept at all... I just can't sleep. It's been a problem for a long time now.
I'm wathing Iron Man, as I write this. Well, I'm listening to Iron Man in the background as I write this. It's a really good movie, I forgot how great it really is.... I should watch it more.
There are so many things I want to do with my life. I'm not doing any of them. I'm not where I'm supposed to be, and no I'm not talking about the airport. I'm talking about where I am in my life.
I have been home off my mission for almost six years now, and haven't done any of things I wanted to.
I have never thought I would have been home for this long and still not married. Still not have the job I want and still not in control of my economy.
I miss my ex-girlfriend. She dumped me more than four years ago and I still miss her. Sometimes I miss her so much that it hurts. How can that be?
She just spend a year and three months in France. In that year and three and months, I have learned to control my feelings and emotions for her and keep them down, and I hope that one day she will trust me again and become my friend. Even thoug I know that that day is far in the future, I pray every day that it will come.
As work hard every day at getting my life together I feel it coming a little closer all the time.
Right now I'm trying to stay focused on living the gospel and being worthy of my priesthood and temple covenants.
It's tough, but I can do it, I will make it a little at the time. And I slowly feel the power of the atonement in my life, and the healing power of the savior.
At the time I really miss my mission, and I wish I could go back and serve the Lord again in Idaho. I have never been happier in my life than I was when I was serving. I wanna feel that way again.
I know that I one day will as I stay true to the Gospel and the Savior, and trust that he will help me through my trials and bless me in the end.

Women

A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

So when is happiness going to come around?

So, a little over three years ago my girlfriend, at the time, dumped me. I really loved her. I had never loved anyone like that before and I have never loved anyone like that since.
We weren't together for very long, but it was the happiest time in my life, besides my mission. That girl made me SO happy. I have never felt so happy in my life, not before I met this girl and not since.
Was heart broken when she dumped me and told me that she didn't love me and never had and never would.
I loved that girl, and somewhere in my heart I still do.
So the past three years I haven't been happy. I've tried to be. I've done my best to keep myself happy, but I haven't been really happy.
I have dated other girls since, really nice girls too. But I have never been able to be in a serious relationship, cuz somewhere I still love this girl.
I have met a couple of girls since that I could have loved as much, and that I could see myself marrying but neither of these girls wanted to be with me.
That just made my pain bigger. The pain of loneliness and rejection, a pain that I would not wish my worst enemy to experience.
So even tho the past three years a have been mostly pain, there have been times when I have been able to put this pain in the background and just forget about it and enjoy my life, but it doesn't take much to remind me of my loneliness and rejection, and the pain comes right back and so does my tears.
I can't count the nights when I cried myself to sleep.
Tonight I talked to a friend of mine who just broke up with her boyriend, and I told her that it has been more than three years since I was truly happy.
She then tells me that she doesn't want to be three years down the road and not happy. And trust me neither do I, but here I am. And there is nothing I can do about it.
People tell me I have to be happy for what I have and be happy with my single live. And that might be true, but I just can't. I want to be happy with my life, but no matter what I do, I'm just not completely happy.
So here I am, three years down the road, not happy, but wanting to be.
So when is happiness going to come around?

I Hate...

When I judge people, writing stupid blog posts, getting out of bed too late, celery, snow, working saturdays and sundays, cold weather, people who thinks they own the store when they are grocery shopping, getting mad over small things, being single, stupid danish tv-shows, female stand-up comedians, pictures of myself, when I can't control myself, bad drivers, saying stupid things to a girl I really like, people who complaint about everything, stupid questions, sweden, Nik & Jay, The Steelers, being asked why I'm not married or when I get married, when I have nothing to do, having too little time, when I do things that goes against what I believe, the tv show Moment of truth, when I waste my day doing nothing, S-train passengers, Brøndby IF, darkness..

I guess I don't hate a lot of things.... I guess that's good-

I want to be a part of it...

new york, new york.

So thursday we went to new york. That was fantastic, I really do want to be a part of it. That city is amazing. I loved it. I want to move there. Man it was so cool. When I come to think about it, we didn't actually see all those sites you are supposed to see when you are in new york. We saw, Ground Zero, The New York stock exchange, and we kind of saw the statue of liberty, from a boat, in the dark and we saw time square. I really liked time square. I could live right there.

Look how beutiful it is.

So even though we didn't get to see sites like, Empire state building, the statue of liberty ect. We still had so much fun. We went to Toys R' Us on time square and there was a ferris wheel, we got to ride in the barbie kart, SO much fun. We had really good New yorker pizza, we sailed to staten island, had McDonalds, went to a Natural history museum, really great. We also bought a one day fun pass to the NY subway, which of course made the day more fun.

The first thing Burfelt and I did, after getting our subway passes was to leave JM behind. That was fun. Well, I gotta go pack so I can get back to Denmark.

Prolly the first post from Boston

So I promised I would blog everyday while in Boston, as you prolly noticed I haven't done that, and I'm prolly not going too, since I prolly won't have time to do that. I prolly promised you  pictures to. And the pictures will prolly come, but they prolly won't come until I'm home. I am prolly going to post just a few times while I'm here and there will prolly be a picture or two along the way.

So what have I done in boston so far!? I arrived saturday at 1:20 pm local time. It was REALLY cold, my ears almost fell off, it was terrible. We did spend hours trying to find a wendy's. The fist thing JM told me in the airport was: "Jepsen, I know where the wendy's is, so we can go eat right away" and then we walked around boston for hours in the cold, and then JM had to call her mother, who lives in Logan, utah to tell us where the Wendy's was. we finally found it and I had my tripple classic with chesse combo and a frostie, it was SO good. Well, then we went to JM house, it took forever, but eventually we got there. JMs room is SO small, I can hardly fit in there, and then imagine that I have to share it with Burfelt... man I'm glad he's so thin.

So sunday we went to church and then we went to see the superbowl and ryans place. Ryan is Catherines boyfriend. Thas was a stupid game and a waste of time since the stupid steelers won the game, so I might as well just have been at home sleeping.

Monday JM, went to school, so chris and I went to see boston, but we never really got into boston, we only got to the univeristy book store. But that was ok, we walked all the way and it was such great weather that we really enjoyed it. We later went and saw the teachers pet, JM, teach a lab, she was ok at teaching, except from the fact that she had to be corrected by one of her students.

So we went home and ate and watched the movie The Village. It was a REALLY stupid movie. If you haven't seen then DON'T, but if you have please let me know what you think of it, cuz Burfelt really liked it. It was dumb.

Then we played a game that Burfelt and I bought, at the book store, called Would You Rather...? it was fun and it created a lot of great discussions. 

So now it's tuesday afternoon, it's almost 1 pm and we haven't been outside yet, but I guess we will be in a minute. I have no idea where we are going and it's snowing out side. I HATE snow.
