i recently picked up the book Captivating again. i tried to read it a few years ago and got about half way through and thought.."this is lame." you too might think its corny but i would seriously recommend giving it another shot. the lord has exposed so many things in my heart through reading it, and brought or has begun to bring healing. realizing my brokenness and the wounds of my heart from this world are a lot deeper than i ever imagined. and every single one of them is from the enemy to lead me away from the feminine heart and desires the lord put inside of me. i love that he is not passive.. He doesn't want to merely put a band aide over our wounds and send us on our way.. He wants to go with us, holding our hand, into those places that really hurt and set us free with truth. the truth will set us free. He's so kind and gentle. 

"God went back and got the shaking little girl that was hiding under the bed and convinced her to come out. He unclenched her little fists and took her hand and placed it in his and answered her question. He held her and told her it was ok for her not to be tough. He would protect her. She didn’t have to be strong. He told her she wasn’t a rock but a child. An innocent child. His child. He didn’t condemn her for anything but instead understood her and loved her! He told her she was special…like no other and that she had special gifts like no other. She knew his voice and trusted him. She could hear the pleasure He had for her in His voice and felt His delight in her as He talked. He was so gentle and loving she couldn’t help but melt in His arms."
