Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. ~ Francis Bacon ~

A different kind of scholar
I have tried for the last two weeks to continue with my scholar studies like I always have been, but have found it impossible. I guess that my weak, little, pregnant mind was not meant for those things. What I mean is that I am learning more about seasons and how they differ from person to person and over a lifetime. This pregnancy has been a trial to say the least, but I am finally learning lessons that I am sure I could not learn any other way. Most importantly how much I need my Father in Heaven and how little I can actually accomplish on my own. I have learned to slow down and trust my body. I am learning to let myself not be in control of everything. There are many more, but that will be for another time. One very important idea that I have been reminded of is that I have talents other than those the world considers scholarly, but are scholarly none the less. The Lord has reminded me that these things are important as well and that now is the time to revisit them and cultivate them. None of these things take much concentration and so they are perfect for me right now because I have the attention span of a gnat (I am worse than my baby sometimes).
