Ok. So I am barely to chapter 2. THe thing that captivates me is that women were made in God's image and all the thing that implicates. My need to be adored, sought after, captivating yes, but also the need for relationships and to know about people and there lives. All of this is a reflection of my Lord. He also wants to be adored and sought after to be found captivating and yes beautiful. He desires relationships and to really be known and apart of peoples' lives. It just awes me both that God would choose to reflect a bit, a huge bit, of himself in me and in all women. Men are beautiful in there own equally amazing way but the absence of women even in a very real daily sense leaves the world a bit colorless. THe line that stands out is ...can there be any doubt that Eve is the crown of creation? Not an afterthought...She is God's final touch...she fills a place that nothing and no one else can fill. Do you believe that ladies, guys? If we really did believe it we would live differently. We would love more deeply and trust GOd more senscerly. I want to believe it.
Detania's Journey
About Me
- Name: detania
- Location: Austin, Texas, United States
I am just your average person, I think... I grew up in a small town, graduated from SWT in 2001 w/BS in Sociology. I recently got married to a wonderful man named Kelly. My faith is what drives me. When my friendship with Jesus Christ is right, I'm right. I am more fun, I take more risks, I get out side myself more, I dare to dream and even conquer my dreams and asperations. But when the friendship is distant I lose all perspective. I lay on my couch more, eat more, exercise less, focus only on ending another misreable day. I am not fun to be around and am very selfish. Today was a good day. Lets pray tomorrow is too!!

I've always thought that any God would believe in a balance; man and woman would balance each other.
I like the idea that woman is God's final touch: and speaking as a man, I do believe that women fill a place that nothing and no one else can fill.
I've known women who could survive without men - but I've never known a man who could survive without women.
I think it goes back to a woman giving birth to us; men are born needing women and that never changes.
