Captivating.
is it possible to choose a name for a women's book that does not threaten me more?
the root word is captive.
that would be the testosterone filled patriarchal wannabe (me), right?
should I just tell the girls to stick to studying the WORD?
after all, it has all of the answers, right?
but wait, Julie and ali like it.
they are both semi-rational, not much of a "worship me" vibe.
so I will read it.
OH GOOD LORD IN HEAVEN.
JUST SHOOT ME NOW!
the first few pages are excruciating!
"what a woman's heart needs is......"
I am SUCH a failure.
I can't do this.
please, please put me out of their misery!
but wait....
I am not the only one who is to be captivated by them?
the Almighty is telling me to move over?
it is not about me?
I am not sure, do I feel slighted? diminished?
get your eyes off of your navel, steve.
go with that feeling of relief that it ISN'T about you.
so I learn.
it becomes comfortable knowing how they feel when it isn't pointed at me.
you know, He created them this complicated and He is part of the solution?
GLORY
huh.
now I am feeling like I am equating just a bit with the girls.
well......
have not I always wanted to feel special to Him?
to be loved just for being who He made me to be?
not because of my non-existent accomplishments?
I am only halfway through, and it is not entertaining reading.
it is not captivating reading?
but I am enjoying being stretched.
