Another blog to gather my thoughts.

So, I've felt a little bit forsaken by my girl friends recently.  And yet, I feel I've never been closer to my guy friends.  Seriously.  I've never been big on texting guys, but I've text more of them in the past three days that I think I ever have in my life.  It's like I always thought:  I get along better with guys.  I'm the type that could be a really good friend to basically any guy.  Pretty awesome, right?  Well, except for the dating scene, because then everyone considers you a friend and overlooks you.

I have found truth in the statement that men are jerks, but women are cruel.  I can tell when people don't like me.  I can tell when people are being friendly to me for the sake of being friendly.  And I can tell when people are genuine.  It's hard for me.  I know I'm not the most beautiful woman to most people.  I think that's why I've found I'm so accepting of people.  The misfits tend to stick together, and have a better time.  But honestly, actions speak louder than words.

I find it hard choosing the better part most of the time.  I'd like to whine and cry and scream at the top of my lungs, hurt other people like they hurt me all the time.  But I know it's not what Christ would do. 

"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

 ¶Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."  -Isaiah 53:3-5

I've always loved that scripture.  And it helps me when I realize that the Son of Man hath descended below all things.  The condescension of the Savior of the World is so vast we cannot comprehend it.  What little thing it is to have someone turn against us, when His own people turn against Him and crucified Him?

So, I've found out what was bothering me.  Any tips or suggestions on trying to deal with these people other than by smiting them with kindness would be greatly appreciated.  Given, please try to keep the suggestions legal.  I never know about some of you...
