crown of creation

I am reading a book called Captivating by John and stasi Elderidge. It is good. I recommend it! Anyway, I am gonna quote it...


Given the way creation unfolds, how it builds to ever higher and higher works of art, can there be any doubt that eve is the crown of creation? Not an afterthought. Not a nice addition like an ornament on a tree. She is God's final touch. She fills a place in the world nothing and no one else can fill. Step to a window, ladies, if you can. Better still, find some place with a view. Look out across the earth and say to yourselves, "The whole vast world is incomplete without me. Creation reached its zenith in me"


Pretty intense!

One the first day God gave us light--day and night.

One the second day God gave us Sky--He called it Heaven.

On the third day God gave us dry Land--He called it Earth. He allowed the land to produce vegatation--seed bearing plants.

On the fourth day God made 2 great lights--one to govern the day and one to govern the night(sun and moon)--they were to serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years.

On the fifth day God created living creatures.

On the sixth day God created man in his image. He said it is not good for man to be alone and saw that Adam had no suitable helper. He created Woman. --the crown of creation.

Then on the seventh day He rested!

I get all this information from the Bible-- Genesis 1-2.

Anyway, yes ladies we are the crown of creation without us this world is incomplete. Man is not meant to be alone. Man and Woman are not meant to be independent of each other but complete in each other--husband and wife becoming one flesh.

Before I knew Christ--I always thought it was good to be an independent woman-- not to need my husband. But I do need him and he needs me. We need to allow each other this. It does not make either of us weak; it makes us stronger. This is something that the world has confused for most people I know. The world says be independent--you are weak if you need a man/woman--bla bla bla. But the point is to remember who our creator is and what He says about man and woman. Forget what the world says--what are the divorce rates these days more then 50% fail. So I think the world clearly has screwed up marriage. We need to get back to why it(marriage) was created. Man was not meant to be alone & it keeps us holy etc...

Thank you God for bringing me to my amazing husband. I believe you brought us together because we make a good team. We believe in each other and encourage each other. We want to live life in the same manner--people first--passion first--love first!!! We will not be a slave to the dollar. We will choose you Lord. Everyday I choose you Lord! Thank you for the cross--AMEN!
