Well after a crazy weekend of chaos at work due to the panic of Hurricane Ike I was very relieved to know that i would be off work today, I usually wake up at 5:30 am every Monday to get to work , get off at 3, then head to school at 5:30. But I got to sleep in a bit and enjoy the morning and afternoon! I just hung out around the house all day mostly, I did some cleaning up around the house and organizing in my room, which believe it or not i really enjoy those moments. I find them a great time to reflect on things going on in my life and to just have some peace.
For lunch I made myself a nice little sandwhich while I did my English homework. I had to prepare my outline for my upcoming paper I'm writing on diminishing the disadvantages of automobiles. I did what I could and had my private tutors (my parents) give me advice and help me edit it. They're great and help me more than the realize, they are very wise and give such good advice. Always have about any aspect in life really, i just never really wanted to listen in my teen years, haha. Later on I went to pick up my sister from high school, I drove a truck a member is selling that I'm checking out to possibly buy it. And then when i got home i did some studying of the gospel to prepare a family home evening lesson, which was on chapter 3 in Preach My Gospel. I then finished up revising my outline grabbed a bite to eat and headed off to school. English class went well, she had us all write out outlines up on the board and she critiqued them in front of everyone, so that was kind of nerve racking.
When she got to mine, she got to the last section and didn't really understand it at all, and as i tried to explain it she still wasn't getting it, haha....so i guess i need to do some more revising and whatnot, just kind of frustrating to be the only one in the class that she was really confused about. Oh well....didn't matter because after that it was onto humanities, she had already graded our papers! I was excited to see how i did on it, since it was my first college paper! To my great surprise i received a 100 on it!!! Wow!!! What a great blessing that was, and very encouraging after the frustrating English class, haha.
Then i headed home, with the windows rolled down really enjoying the beautiful fresh cool air from today. It was so beautiful and amazing outside today! What a blessing that was. When i got home i was able to have a good discussion with my mother about things going in my life, about things that I'm praying for or praying for guidance about. I'm a bit confused on several things, but she gave me some good advice and counsel. I just get frustrated with situation where i felt i was prompted to do something or talk to someone and nothing seemed to really come from it, so i think i just need to develop more faith in those situations, knowing that i may just simply not be able to understand or see what the purpose of that certain situation was with my "natural eyes." Not to say i don't trust the whisperings of the spirit, that's not the case at all, I've just come to learn that as you learn more and more about the promptings of the spirit and as you pray more for them, and as you strive to follow them, its just a big learning process. The holy ghost really is a master teacher, and I'm just a mortal imperfect being right now who is trying to learn day by day. So I'm grateful for the Lord being merciful enough to allow me to have those promptings, i look forward to many more and to learning day by day from the holy ghost.

Hey,
I'm impressed by what you didn't specifically say. You're really trying to keep the Spirit with you. It's apparent from just mentioning your prayers. Ihave the same goal. It's important to know what is right to do and the Lord is the best one to tell you.
Cheers.
(Maybe hit 'return' and make some paragraphs. It'll make it easier to read :)
Your an amazing person, I got an impression that you are waiting for something to happen...or wanting something...If this is true go get it...don't wait for someone or something happen...I have made that same mistake all my life...and I have lost out a lot...When you want to know something ask, if you want something to happen, go get it...Thinking and praying for you always...
Josh, the Lord placed in the same class as Jessica for a very specific reason. And I am eternally grateful that you were there for her this past week. It made all the difference. Sometimes we're prompted to do certain things, when in the end it seems the rug is then pulled out from under us. But never fear, for there are still lessons to be learned from those moments. Sometimes we don't realize what those lessons are until years later. But our faith must remain strong. Thank you for being you.
