Thank you Jamie D. for telling us that the first chapter is about bringing up questions that will be answered later. I too was feeling a bit disguntled with the romance I get from my hubby . . . but "ooh, I see now" God will . . .OK, I'm hanging in there like you Camy .Pfingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741397045938415768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-1150660599567109342006-06-18T12:56:00.000-07:002006-06-18T12:56:00.000-07:00Ted was reading "Wild at Heart" at the same time I...Ted was reading "Wild at Heart" at the same time I was reading "Captivating"...and we had interesting discussions about the Eldredge's views of male/female dreams and goals. I also wrestled with some of the concepts of the book, but it sure led to fun discussions. And it challenged me to admit things I longed for, instead of trying to convince myself it was "unspiritual" to long for them.Sharon Hinckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258643938461705900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-1150653999432723742006-06-18T11:06:00.000-07:002006-06-18T11:06:00.000-07:00I'm right there with you.

I am wondering if this was a shell I built to protect myself and the woman she describes is somewhere inside. I hope the book ends up being a revelation, not a let down.Nancy Murphree Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564890403728433649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-1150601870338670842006-06-17T20:37:00.000-07:002006-06-17T20:37:00.000-07:00Now you made me want to read the book, so I just p...Now you made me want to read the book, so I just put it on hold at the library.

I think I often disregard how I truly feel about a lot of things because I am always worried about, as boomama said in her post, "rocking the boat." I'm learning to be more of a boat rocker these days, and I'm happy for that. <BR/>I had a lot of similar reactions to yours when I read the first chapter, and the more I thought about it, the more I found wayssarahgracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238734592533601926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-1150574767761249062006-06-17T13:06:00.000-07:002006-06-17T13:06:00.000-07:00It does get clearer.

You are to be romanced by God and he will do it in a way that will bring pleasure to you (and maybe that is by providing you with a fabulous food!). Yes, chapter 1 brings forth a lot of questions, one being "Why don't I feel this way?" But, if you can be totally honest with yourself while reading later, I think you will still appreciate it.Chaos-Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643470959118675651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-1150574600970170842006-06-17T13:03:00.000-07:002006-06-17T13:03:00.000-07:00I'm so glad that you are writing about exactly wha...I'm so glad that you are writing about exactly what you feel. Unfortunately, I don't have the book and I'm afraid that if I get it, I just might start feeling guilty about things in there. It seems that as long as I can remember, I've felt guilty about so many things that I didn't measure up to. I'm very glad that you aren't that way.

While our feelings were different, what you said gave me a lot to think about. I have no idea what to expect when reading this book and it promises to be an interesting journey we're all on together, especially since we're all starting in different places. I wonder where we'll all end up.Just Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206021708278976081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-1150569197577465932006-06-17T11:33:00.000-07:002006-06-17T11:33:00.000-07:00Okay, you and I had some REALLY similar reactions,...Okay, you and I had some REALLY similar reactions, and OH, am I ever feeling better. :-) That's what I struggled with in chapter 1 - my very practical personality vs. this romantic touchy-feely notion of femininity. I'm interested to see how the very contradiction you mentioned (tell me I'm lovely / beauty is on the inside) gets resolved...and I still have a feeling that there is much for me to boomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675279081741763175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371723.post-1150559008553231592006-06-17T08:43:00.000-07:002006-06-17T08:43:00.000-07:00Camy, I love the questions you raise here, and tha...Camy, I love the questions you raise here, and that you aren't afraid to raise them! I think the first part of understanding ourselves as women is to know how each of us is different from each other, and then to accept that. And I think you've gotten that down perfectly! I agree with much of what you wrote, even though I am probably more emotional, sappy, etc. than you--I think we are all on Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867656058895825645noreply@blogger.com
