The creation of Eve
In the book "Captivating" that Tena and I are doing with the Sr High girls our lesson this week talks about the creation of Eve I love the following paragraphs from the book
"It is nearing the end of the sixth day, the end of the Creator's great labor, as Adam steps forth, the image of God, the truiumph of his work He alone is pronounced the son of God. Nothing in creation even comes close. Picture Michelangelo's David He is...Magnificent. Truly, the masterpiece seems complete. And yet, the Master says that 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.
The one thing that we are trying to impact on these girls is that they are special, they are important. that they matter to God, and that all of them are beautiful
I think this says that to them ..and to all women

Captivating is a great book. Highly recommended. Helped me see things in somewhat a different light, especially when it comes to 'seeing' girls.
