Speed bumps

have you ever gotten a speeding ticket? I have, that is when you wish you had a speed bump, they slow you down and make you realize that you should have been paying more attention to the road. just like life, I need to slow down and look around and refocus.
as the goals seem closer sometimes we hit speed pumps, my speed pumps are taking test, I study, know the stuff, but have trouble sometimes getting it on paper:) this week not so bad, 80 on a science test:) my happy place today

some times when you have tried different things to accomplish a goal and you still need help you look for help in the usual place. So anyone who wants to do a novena with me please join in. St. Jude novena to be exact, we need prayers for better test scores:) if you do not know what a novena is you can fine the explanation below:) So join me beginning on Saturday



Novena
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The word Novena is the feminine form of the Medieval Latin word, "novenus", "ninth", which is the ordinal number from novem, nine.
In the Catholic Church, a novena is a devotion consisting of prayer said (most typically) on nine successive days, asking to obtain special graces. These may consist of small prayer books, recitation of the Rosary, or small prayers through the day.
The practice of saying novenas is derived from Scripture. After Jesus' Ascension into heaven, he told his disciples to pray together in the upper room and devote themselves to constant prayer (Acts 1:14). The Apostles, Blessed Virgin Mary, and other followers of Jesus prayed together for nine consecutive days, concluding in the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.
Though the novena is primarily a devotion used by members of the Catholic Church, it has spread to the Orthodox, Anglican, and even some Lutheran churches.
