Who am I?

My little black arm drags across a frosty pane. Streaking icy marks resembling a proverbial kaleidoscopic arch that paints the sky after a gentle rain. Who am I?

Descriptions

I look up and tear shape water puddles on my face. Streams down my cheek to end their transient existence muddling the reflection thats formed at my feet. what is this a description of?

Gods love is imaginative and wondrous. He is in every beautiful site that allures you and allows you to glimpse at the essence of true beauty. The gorgeous pink and blue shades that effortlessly dance about the clouds when the sun sets. Or how bout those enchanting nights where  the glistening calm waters of a brook  mirror the stars twinkling image. All while crickets harmoniously chirp to the symphonies of the wind. These are his version of flowers, chocolates and moonlight dinners. Gods way of wooing his bridegroom.  We, out of all creation are his most treasured. He longs to romance our hearts to intimately know us and our truest form. He yearns to provide us with not only the things that are necessary but with also the things our hearts desire. He is the pinnacle of love and devotion. This of course demonstrated most famously by the act of giving his son over to the world to be a sacrificial lamb for all mankind. So that we could know and love him and he could in turn know and love us. We were intended to be his most cherished creation. We know this because God blesses us with these truly awe inspiring moments of pure elation. Moments where the world fades away and for a brief while you can breath. He takes this time to whisper sweet words that heal your soul from the wounds it has sustained in this existence. “Your beautiful” “Your everything to me” “Your my precious gift” “I LOVE YOU”. The world has done its job of nearly sabotaging every woman’s feminine heart. Bringing one of Gods most beloved hopes of this world to near extinction. But that glimmer of hope shines through. That we will carry in our hearts this simple message we are loved beyond all measure by a truly awesome God. He yearns to romance our hearts and to captivate us with his unimaginable grace and mercy. We must choose to live this life the way God intended it. We should be compelled to allow him to pursue our spirit. We must open the door to our hearts and invite in his wonderful blessing  into our lives. We weren’t meant to do it alone. We need his love to guide us through this life.

So I’m,  for once the one that didn’t procrastinate!! Trust me this should be a huge feat in society. You see me and my best friends Brenna and Carrie decided it would be just dandy taking a class together. It sounded like a swell concept when your at your “honeymoon” stage with the middle of summer. However we all regret the class subject that we chose to take. International Relations. Now, I can  honestly attest to this next sentence seeing as how I have been exposed to its truly torturous subject matter. This is class was designed by satan himself! At first it started out like a really awesome class. At best we believed that we would get to take a class together and help each other out with test and learn some new knowledge about world politics. But no this class is a master of disguise. It  hides out in the background of the class choices looking like an innocent little politics class. It gives the illusion that you’ll do well then WHAM!! It hits you with work that I truly believe a harvard student would struggle with. This course is a hybrid class half online half in class. The class parts are easy we just sit around and talk about the world. Then the online stuff is the truly execrable stuff. After every quiz I die a little inside when I look at my score. I swear my grade sheet looks like a massacre of letters.Its a homicide site for A’s and B’s they should vandalize my angel account with yellow crime tape to warn others of my truly heinous crime of killing my chances of getting out of college! I posting this as a warning when you see the innocent little International Relations tab please don’t be credulous to its alluring charm cause trust me its a little devil of a class! Heed my warning!

book review

My book interest has currently been captured by best selling author John and Stasi Eldridge the best selling author of Wild at Heart has collaborated  with his wife to co-author one of the most incredibly relevant books of its kind. Their book Captivating is a remarkable read and much like it boasts on the cover it truly is a book about “unveiling he mystery of a woman’s soul”.  I strongly encourage any and all women no matter their age to read this book. Its truth and hard core reality is evident with a turn of its first few pages. The revelation of each biblical reference unfolds as the chapters progress hitting home with myself as both a woman and child of God.

The essence of this book whispers sweet messages that we as woman have longed our whole lives to hear ,but have long given up the hopes of that desire ever being fulfilled. The points you are loved, your not worthless and your a captivating creature of God are seamlessly threaded within each lesson. You must understand this is not a typical book. Its a sweet revelation for all women. It perfectly illustrates just how essential our being on  this Earth is.

I admittedly am a book chooser by cover. However the message on the back was all I needed to draw my interest and allure me into reading its beautiful messages. Dont get me wrong the charming little cover which depicts a young woman twirling in a meadow leading up to a castle straight from a fairy tale was proof enough of the worth that lie within its pages. But this inscription on the back is what truly drew me in.

Every woman was once a little girl. And every little girl holds in her heart her most precious dreams. She longs to be swept up into romance, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, to be the Beauty of the story. Those desires are far more than child’s play. They are the secret to the feminine heart. And yet how many women do you know who ever find that life? As the years pass by, the heart of a woman gets pushed sadie, wounded buried. She finds no romance except in novels,no adventure except on television,and she doubts very much that she will ever be the beauty in any tale.

The message of Captivating is this: Your heart matter more than anything else in all creation. the desires you had a s a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman they are telling you of the life God created you to live. He offers to come now as the Hero of your story,to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman. A woman who is truly captivating.

If it has not been apparent, I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I basked in its wonder and its effortless magic. It consumed me and became a big part of my study habits because its just that good. Its the type of book that you learn from. If my recommendation was not incentive enough to read this enchanting page turner then maybe the sweet tones and gentle,loving  reverence for women will be your reasoning. Its written as if they are speaking directly to that wounded little girl hiding in the corner at the very essence of your soul. The one who never fully recovered from rejection or pain inflicted by those she felt genuinely cared. This book has taught me that as a young woman of God  i’m not only capable of anything but that my past does not control me nor does it contain me I am free from any bondage of fear or self- deprecation.Most importantly I am wholeheartedly loved by my God and I am unsurpassed in his creation. And in being so, in his eyes I am Truly Captivating!

Sincerely, Katelyn
