September

I'm beginning Septembers Blog Mid August, because August is almost over and I'm getting very excited about fall. Not to mention that school USED to start in Sept. so Amy Barrickman's book focuses on school for Sept.

For those of us who wish to make progress, no matter what our aims may be, there is no better teacher than a child. If a child wants to know about something, he asks a lot of questions. If something happens with which he is unfamiliar, he demands an explanation. Of course, the child looks to his parents for answers. But what a fine example he is to all who want to learn. "If you don't know, ask!" Ask somebody else, or ask yourself an then answer yourself be consulting the proper authority, be it a person or a book, But ask! Don't stifle your desire to learn Be as a little child, and ask. -Gustave L. Weinss

I find that God has this habit of speaking to me through movies and plays, and books that I am reading, people I meet or engage in conversation with, that just begin to align, pull at my heart, and form my thought process. I have a tendency to process things very slowly.  I am beginning to learn that leaps of faith and prayers that consist of  "Lord, I have no idea what I need to pray, but my heart is full, so send your holy spirit to speak to you in my behalf" tend to lead me into fantastic adventures, and change me from the inside out. It's important to ask questions, but sometimes we are in positions that nothing but your own heart can provide the answer for.
