Chapter One Questions (with my answers in the comments)
Do you feel you're more spiritually/emotionally mature than men or simply that you define yourself by your acceptance by others (men)? pg 20
1 Cor. 7:17
NKJ : "But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches."
Message : "And don't be wishing you were someplace else or with someone else. Where you are right now is God's place for you. Live and obey and love and believe right there. God, not your marital status, defines your life."
How does it make you feel that woman (not man) is the height of creation? pg 22
Quotation from Captivating : "Something is not good, not right. Something is missing-and that something is Eve. She is the crescendo, the final, astonishing work of God. Woman. In one last flourish creation comes to a finish not with Adam, but with Eve. She is the Master's finishing touch...Eve is the crown of creation, not an afterthought...Eve is created because things were not right without her. Something was not good...The world is young and completely unstained. Adam is yet in his innocence and full of glory. He walks with God. Nothing stands between them. They share something none of us has ever known-only longed for: an unbroken friendship; untouched by sin. Yet something is not good? Something is missing?..Eve. Woman. Femininity...."

I'd love to say that I'm mature, but I still feel that all-too-often, I define myself my other's standards.
Everyday, I deal with the fact that everyone has a different purpose. It's exciting, but at the same time, I can't help but wish I had different gifts or was located somewhere else. It's hard to always think that there's a season for everything (including the freezing-ness of Fargo winters).
Women as the pinnacle of creation: It only goes against practically everything I've ever been taught...
