Captivating: An Irreplaceable Role in a Great Adventure
WOAH! Ok I am officially sure that this book was meant just for me!
"A woman is a warrior too."
I have this vision. I am a warrior. I ride on the back of a dragon. I have a sword. I have a bible. I am a woman. I fight the spiritual battles for God.
I fight scary things. But I know that it's ok. I know that I am needed and I know that God is always with me. These two things make it so I am never afraid!
"There is something fierce in the heart of a woman."
This is so true, but I have noticed it is a more gentle feircness. We defend. We protect. And if possible we save the feelings of everyone in the situation. Even if they were in the wrong. I mean this is not always true just a simple observation.
"We do not want the adventures merely for adventure's sake but for what it requires of us for others."
I have always had this feeling. That we are not put here to spend our lives alone. Or even for ourselves. We are meant to do things for others. We are here to help each other. What would be the point of spending our entire lives aquiring things for ourselves. What on earth would we do with that when its time to go. They can't come with us. I mean for some its all about what they can leave behind for their loved ones. That is unselfish I can understand that. However the selfish things we do to achieve that goal, that is where the problem is. People spend all their time working and never with their families and then in the end they give them a house, a car, some money, but they forgot to teach them about love, and the importance of giving. Then people dont want to be needed, they only want to need things.
Life is a wierd thing. Being me is a wierd thing. I want to be needed and I know people need me. But how do I get to them, and how do I get over my fears that make a constant block that divides me from them, and my relationship with God.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!! There is something absolutely JOYOUS about knowing that someone GETS IT!!!! GIRLLLLLL, YOU GOT IT!!! What a beautiful blog!!! You are so honest about what you are experiencing and feeling and I can't help but say AMEN with ya as I read! GO SIS, GO!! :D
What you said about women desiring to save the feelings of the people they are dealing with... I know thats often true. I think woman often feel rejection or shame when their feelings are forgotten for the sake of a good point and that some women try very hard to display truth in a way that will leave a person thankful for the realization instead of clutching and protecting where they were hit with the painful blow. I also think there are times when women are inarguably less gracious than most men! Especially when playing advocate for a family member or friend. :D Been there for you baby! HAHAHA :D
I love you sweet baby sister. MMMWWWAAA
