A few days ago I had one of those days when…
…I fell in love all over again.
So, it’s been nine months now, since Megan I started dating. I love her more now, then I did when the nine months began. In our relationship, I see God writing a story, one that leaves you speechless, breathless, but excited and ready. Ready to venture out into a land where danger meets hope and joy.
I picked up the book Captivating today, along with To Own A Dragon, by Donald Miller–quite the contrast, eh? Here’s a quote from Captivating:
“After all, if we were better women–whatever that means–life wouldn’t be so hard. Right? We wouldn’t have so many struggles; there would be less sorrow in our hearts. Why is it so hard to create meaningful friendships and sustain them? Why do our days seem so unimportant, filled not with romance and adventure but with duties and demands? We feel unseen, even by those who are closest to us. We feel unsought–that no one has the passion or the courage to pursue us, to get past our messiness to find the woman deep inside. And we feel uncertain–uncertain what it even means to be a woman; uncertain what it truly means to be feminine; uncertain if we ever will be.” Stasi Eldredge, Captivating
This line kind of struck out at me: “not with romance and adventure but with duties and demands.”
