Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Womans Soul

I started reading the above titled book last night because I have been searching for many things now being mostly on my own in this small town. Although I love it, I also miss the friendships that I used to have so close to me. I had the ability to clear about 10 mini chapter last night before slipping into a vast sleep coma.

I highly am recommending this book. I am a Christian but I have never been deeply spiritual and rarely read spiritual books other than my bible. But I was looking for something that would sum up the reasons why I feel what I feel and why to some people it may not be as important or seem weird.

Last night I learned about desire, in my upbringing I was taught that desire was a bad thing. Little did I know that desire is shared and in certain circumstances is actually a good thing. For example all women desire to be romanced. Even though who are deeply spiritual hope for the chase of prince charming. When we find that our men, or man have fallen short in this area this is where sin seems to set in. Secondly we wish to be irreplaceable in a great adventure. I have always sought to be irreplaceable in my own journey, to be something bigger, mean something to someone. For years this placed me in horrible situations ones that I would be ashamed if people knew even strangers. However there is a way to be a part of something bigger without the want to be the center of attention. Lastly women hope to unveil their beauty. This is the same reason we stand in the mirror for hours, dye our hair, mask our faces in make up, and hope for the next person around to compliment us. We shy away from the compliment to seem like we are humble but secretly we giggle and smile and glow with anticipation of the next. Why else would we put ourselves through all of the hoopla?

I completely agree with these statements however I always viewed them because of my upbringing as bad or shameful. It is not Christian to be boy crazy, or want to be the warrior in your own story, or especially to be vain. But we all are, we hope that we can indulge in these concepts without being shot down for our views.

As I go through the book I hope to share with you some insight. Some connection to the outside world that will really bring to light some of our desires without sounding like vain, greedy, crazy women.
