Natural abilities can almost compensate for the want of every kind of cultivation, but no cultivation of the mind can make up for the want of natural abilities.

Natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.

The true Christian is not obliged to renounce the things of this world or to lessen his natural abilities. On the contrary, inasmuch as he incorporates them into his normal life in a disciplined manner, he develops and perfects them; he thereby ennobles the natural life itself, supplying efficacious values to it not only of the spiritual and eternal world but also of the material and earthly world.

(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman
(gerry goffin, carole king, jerry wexler)
Producers for bonnie: david mackay, ronnie scott, steve wolfe
Looking out on the morning rain i used to feel uninspired
And when i knew i'd have to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day i met you life was so unkind
Your love was the key to my peace of mind
'cause you make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
'till your kiss helped me name it
Now i'm no longer doubtful of what i'm living for
'cause if i make you happy i don't need to do more
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me! (what you've done to me!)
You make me feel so good inside (good inside)
And i just want to be (want to be) close to you
You make me feel so alive!
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural, natural woman
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural, natural woman
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural, woman, a natural woman

Needed Rest
So overwhelmed to give at times,
I find isolation brings me peace of mind.
To give is to receive.
And in that I do believe.
But a necessity to set limits...
Allows me to feel I should and can breathe freely.
Without jeopardizing my abilities,
Which requires my much needed rest!
Although I may get protests,
From those who perceive...
My abilities are given just to please their needs.
Blessed?
Yes.
But those best lessons I've learned,
Have been the ones I have kept.
And without rest for the mind,
Guess who gets the quality time?
No one.

Metaphysics
The notorious ideas of our times are exact,
Coinages like ‘metaphysics’ encourage thinkers
To think and philosophically endeavour to the best
Of their abilities.
I am ignorant of their ways and am an idea myself,
Physical ones are begun and congratulated,
About nature, and the natural world,
The metaphysical one is about change and causes.
When the stars meet me in the eye,
Strong connections are kept and the changes
Of the strongest nature occur in
The recesses of my mind.

Consider Many Choices
consider many choices
opportunities in life
our abilities suit us to
different pursuits
change is possible
change is desirable
whenever until we find
where our abilities
are best course applied

It would be futile to attempt to fit women into a masculine pattern of attitudes, skills and abilities and disastrous to force them to suppress their specifically female characteristics and abilities by keeping up the pretense that there are no differences between the sexes.

Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as food to the body.
Each of us, as members of the Body of Christ, has been given at least one spiritual gift. Besides this, there are the natural abilities with which God has endowed us. He intends these to primarily be used for the edification of the Body of believers. There is no such thing as a private gift (Rom. 126-8).

A mind without instruction can no more bear fruit than can a field, however fertile, without cultivation.
If Not There
Often I sit in amazement thinking,
How those of creative minds...
Are oft-times subjected,
To analytical probings done!
By those consumed,
With presumptions that loom...
That what exists can not come,
From a natural blooming.
As they seek some evidence,
That convinces without question...
The abilities of one,
Comes from more than intuition...
Received from just prayer.
And discipline 'within'...
That can not be shared,
To teach or instruct if not there.
