Javier Colon - When

Thinking...

Sometimes I think way too much. I feel like its better to think than to not. Tonight I found myself thinking about what I am doing with my life right now. Now that I am in school I feel like I am doing what I am supposed to. I go to class, do my homework, and made some good friends in my classes. There is also a part of me that says drop everything right now, just graduate with the credits I have and not become a teacher. This has been running through my mind like crazy lately and last night I felt like I was so overwhelmed I wanted to just quit everything. (drop all my classes)

Luckily I have good friends and loving parents who care for me and helped me through my tough time. I also am glad that I could get on my knees and just pray for strength and guidance. How grateful I am for my Patriarchal Blessing. It has helped me through tough times. When life gets hard I turn to that and read it. I also read all the other little notes I have received from wise leaders and from friends.

Tonight I opened up a letter that helped me so much. It was written April 4th 2010 It states:
President Uchtdorf

"We must learn that in the Lords plan, Our understanding comes "Line upon line: Precept upon precept. In short, Knowledge and understanding come at the price of patience.

Often the deep valleys of our present will only be understood by looking back on them from the mountains of our future experience. Often we can't see the Lords hand in our lives until long after the trials have passed often the most difficult times of our lives are essential building blocks that form the foundation of our character and pave the way to future opportunities, understanding, and Happiness."

Love President Hawke

This letter seemed to make sense to me. It was a quote from President Uchtdorf. It was also interesting to me that as I was reading my scriptures tonight Helaman 5:12 was in the section that I was reading. How this letter and that scripture go together. I feel like I need to build my foundation so that I may not fall. I need to gain greater knowledge and not be afraid because Satan is trying so hard to bring me down. He knows our weaknesses and knows how to take us down, but if we can just see those weak spots and make them as strong as possible so we cannot be taken down. We will have happiness in life.

I still don't know what I am doing with my life right now, but what I do know is even though this semester is killing me I will be strong. I will fight back with vengeance and do my very best. <3

Firsts...

Wow it has been a long while since I have blogged. I will tell you all what I have been up to. Well of course I am in school and have had a ton of homework and been stressing, but that is normal life for me. I have actually have been accomplishing several goals and overcoming several trials and obstacles in my life. I feel that I have grown so much and since I have noticed that I can get though so much I have decided I need to just go out in the world and do more.

The past few weeks I have just been having a blast with doing new things. I signed up for the Ward Soccer team. I have always loved soccer as everyone should know and I actually wanted to be on a team. So far its been awesome. Out of the 3 games we have played we have won all 3 of them. :)

I had the opportunity to drive home for Memorial Day weekend and spend time with family and friends. Can I just tell you I LOVE LOVE LOVE Seattle. I went with a few friends to Alki for a Bon Fire. It was fun because it was right next to La chupacabra and I really wanted to go there, but the creepy guys out front were to0 sketchy. The fire had to be put out at 10:30 so we all decided to go to Gas Works Park (had never been) , Fremont Troll (had never been), and Dicks (again first time). It was a blast!

I have just been trying to have fun while I have so much on my plate. Spanish has taken over my life. Its good, but sooo hard. I can't wait till the semester is over and I can move on with a new chapter in life. See what the Lord has in store for me. <3

I love my family!

Every sunday I like to take a look at pictures that I have in my albums. This one just made me laugh. My family takes such funny family pictures. I love us :) John is my favorite.

So true.

I feel like after all of the lessons I had today at church and talking with some friends this quote sums up what I was thinking about today. "It's very tempting when you really want to be with someone to settle for much, much less -- even a vague pathetic facsimile of less -- than you would have ever imagined. Remember always what you set out to get and please don't settle for less. These guys exist because there are a lot of women out there who allow them to."

Chillin' in the MC.

I have not blogged in quite a long time. I have about 5 min of free time here at school. So I have decided to blog about my life since the last post. Well I still have the same pet Peeves and may have even more now. I really don't want to be negative right now so I won't.

School is hard like always I just have senioritis. When July comes along I will be the happiest person alive. This month I have to turn in my Student teaching stuff so I will be busy with classes and that. Overall its cool though I get to teach a spanish class and its scary, but its my trial in life. I need to get over my fears.

Church is aways good. I love going and listening to the lessons that are prepared for my benefit. I have decided that I need to be better at helping others and not judging them so harshly. I can be mean, even though it doesn't show.

Last semester I started running 3 miles everyday. I actually love it. I have continued doing it. I feel better about everything I do throughout the day. I am stronger and I smile even more which is crazy because I laugh and smile like 24/7. eh. I have so much on my mind and can't really express it so when I get to that point I will say more.

Life takes some interesting turns...
