Go Rip Open Windows Sometimes in order to grow, you have to seek out opportunities.  You have to force the window open.  This resonates with me because I'm a pretty passive person, so I don't really look for opportunities too often.  But I need to remember to look for opportunities to grow.

I've reviewed my schedule that I decided upon on week 1.  Looking at it, I can see that it is still the most optimal schedule to do.  However, I'm not a perfect person, and I have deviated from my schedule due to procrastination.  I'm going to keep my schedule as is, but I will strive to follow it more strictly.

The angel Gabriel visited the Virgin Mary to tell her that she would be pregnant with a Son of God and to name him Jesus.  He proved that it would be true by telling her that her barren cousin Elisabeth in old age would become pregnant too.  So Mary went to visit her and found that it was true. Infancy: The Nativity source:  King James Bible  (1611): Luke 2.
