A good read

"Feminine mystique is the steady, unyielding strength and confidence that flows from knowing our Prince intimately and protecting our relationship with Him at all costs. A young woman with feminine mystique is not merely set apart for her future husband; she is first and foremost set apart for her Prince, Jesus Christ. A young woman with feminine mystique does not protect her inner sanctuary on the condition that she will one day find a man who will appreciate it. She does not ask, 'Is this sacrifice really worth it?' Instead, a young woman with feminine mystique--who jealously guards her heart, mind, and body from the pollution of the world--does so as a natural outflow of her passionate love for her true Prince. To her it is not drudgery, but joy, and she is not shaken by the criticism of the outside world."

Dang!! This is how I want to live and what I want to instill in my small group girls next year...

So nervous about leading.
