good day!

so today was a great day! the weather was perfect for hiking so i went for a trail run (well, half run half walk) but it was AWESOME!! i even made good time, seeing as how i hadnt run the trail in a while. and then i came home and cooked for real! that was exciting! and watched Raise Your Voice (yes, the hilary duff movie) and yes, i actually liked it! and my liking it is not solely based on the fact that oliver james is in it... although he certainly added to the movie. and yes, now i'm watching what a girl wants (yes.. oliver james is in this too... are you noticing a trend) i love his style in these movies.. i'd love to meet a guy in the real world that had his same look. I've told God this... but i know He knows what's best, so i'm just leaving it up to him :) okay.. gotta get back to the movie.. oliver enters the scene soon! lol...

sometimes life hurts

so.. i've discovered that my computer hooked up in one certain place picks up a neighbors wireless internet, which means maybe i can start blogging again more often.

for now, just a simple blog... ridicule. that's the word i've been searching for. i thought it was mockery, but i think ridicule is more accurate. dictionary.com says the definition is 'making fun of'. i feel like this is the only suffering i encounter... its hard tho.. being made fun of. i think people forget how much it hurts a person to make fun of them.

tonite marks the second time that it's happened in my own apartment... and basically.. it just hurts. but it makes me lean on Christ, to know that i find refuge in the shadow of his wing, and it reminds me of psalm 16:6 "the boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely i have a delightful inheritance".

for the praise of His glory,
