Captivating "Woman is the crown of creation - the most intricate, dazzling creature on earth."
So I've been reading this book called Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge. It is more or less discovering what women are all about and what it means to live as a Christian woman. As a woman, I can really relate to the stories in this book. I have had a difficult time being a new Christian and all, just trying to figure out what is expected of me as a wife, mother, and a Christ follower. This book really dives into where women come from begining with the fall of Eve. Women tend to have a low self worth. We expect our knight in shining armour to come wisk us away to our fairy tale land. Why are we never told it never happens that way? It is so crazy for us to think that in a round about way that will ever happen, but we do. We see it in movies, read it in books, and told the fairy tales when we are little. Deep down we believe it. So when we grow up and realize things just didn't quite work out the way we had expected, we are lost. Feeling unwanted, unworthy, and alone. This book just kind of puts things in perspective. I really enjoyed it and thought other women reading my blog may too.
