captivating

as previously mentioned, i'm reading captivating: unveiling the mystery of a woman's soul with my bible study this semester. just the first few pages of the book excite me and have me wanting to curl up in bed with some tea and read from cover to cover. sadly, we have this whole "chapter a week" thing to do, so that we can actually get something out of our readings. :p (note the sarcasm here. i love you girls!) i thought i would share this quote that just resonated within me and might for other women as well,
"sometime between the dreams of your youth and yesterday, something precious has been lost. and that treasure is your heart, your priceless feminine heart. God has set within you a femininity that is powerful and tender, fierce and alluring. no doubt it has been misunderstood. surely it has been assaulted. but it is there, your true heart, and it is worth recovering. you ARE captivating."
pretty awesome, huh? that's just page x of the introduction. i'm telling you. go get this book. it's amazing and i know you'll agree with me. :)
