You make many valid points. Society is quite hard on those not in the "peak" age of a woman, which many international polls have universally come back and said is 14-24. How are you supposed to know who you are and your purpose and calling by 24? How are you supposed to make life-long choices or permanent relationship choices by then? Yes, it is quite rough and demanding.

In her book, "Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul" author Staci Eldredge points out many lies and challenges women face, and two of them are that "you are too much" and "you are not enouth" situation of messages from a godless world that put women in a bind. Clearly capitulating to bitternes is not the answer, but what is? A bit from the book's description is as follows:

God has set within you a femininity that is powerful, tender, and fierce. No doubt it has been misunderstood, but it is there, and it is worth recovering. Stasi Eldredge vulnerably share their story and show you how to set your heart free and embrace life as a woman who is truly captivating.

The mystery of the feminine heart was meant to be a good thing, a source of joy. But all too often, it becomes a source of shame. We almost universally feel that we are too much or not enough.

How do we as women, embrace the inherent power, freedom, and beauty that you already possess?

As we grow older and our dreams are slowly pushed aside, we're told that we have to settle for a life of efficiency and performance, striving to be the women we're told that we ought to be and still feeling like we're failing. But it doesn't have to be this way. Let Captivating help you discover the woman you were meant to be.
