Learning New things all the time... Understanding and Applying knowledge make life awesome!!!

Well the last month or so has been a non-stop learning experience. Life lessons, personal discoveries, spiritual lessons, and academic studies in abundant and constant supply. Personal ambitions of distant past are coming to light, old passions are flooding back into my life and some long suffered endeavors have ended.

Life is all about change and the reaction to those changes.

I am not the type of person who welcomes alot of change without knowing all the pertinent info and without having an escape route or guarantee of some sort if things do not go according to planned. I am also not much of a loner and I like to have others opinion and recommendations about things. Or at least I use to be, but God has started a work in me and in my life to guide me to be the women He designed me to be and to desire His recommendations and to be confident in my gifts and talents that He has blessed me with to equipped me to do the work He has planned for me.

A few of the new experiences and new abilities:

*Removing cabinet doors and better utilizing storage area in the kitchen above the refrigerator.
*Lawn mower disassembly and reassembly; still working on repair (ha ha).
*Removing, disassembling, replacing and reassembling the starter on a lawn mower.
*Removing, disassembling, cleaning, and replacing carborator on lawn mower.
*Working on resetting the throttle and control arms on the lawn mower.
*Dissassembling, evaluating and reassembling the locking mechanism in the door knob.
*Assessing the lock and door knob parts in the door and door frame.
*Fixing the lock on the door knob lock of the kitchen door.

*Grasping the concept of Anatomy and Physiology and being able to apply the terminology to the information I already know to better understand medical and health reports.

*Applying latin learned while homeschooling to learning anatomy, as many of the names are latin derivitives.

*Applying biblical studies and studies of plants of the bible with nutrition information and gaining an understanding of early diets. (very interesting--they ate alot of natural sugars but worked very hard physically and they were healthy),

*Applying history knowledge and research I have done on politics and learning more about the government, social schemes and public services.

Many personal and interpersonal lessons and discoveries.

The biggest lesson and discovery was probably finally grasping an understanding of peoples decision making, freedom of choice, the difference between understanding and believing. One is a mental process the other is more of a heart issue and decision to trust and have faith in the unseen. Lastly, the difference between religion and relationship.

Can't wait to see what this month has in store.
