oh look, a book!

so, i'm writing this book and it's nearly finished...a bit of editing and cover making and stuff and it'll be ready. but i haven't told you very much about this book from the time that i started this blog until now. maybe i should tell you a bit more about it?

i don't actually remeber what i've written to this point about what storge is actually about but here goes:

storge is based on the fact that i have four brothers biologically and hundreds of thousands of brothers by adoption (and you do too!). i realized awhile back that there are approximately 3 billion men out there that i'm NOT going to marry, but most of the time i focus on that one man that i will: how to treat him, when and how will i find him, what will he be like, ect. (which is good, because he's really, really important ;) but in doing this i forget that there are all of these other men around me who are my brothers and who i should be loving with the love of Jesus (read John 15:12 and 1 timothy 5:1-2)

i'd neglected my brothers for so long that i didn't know how to see them or relate to them on any level except the potential-romantic-partner level. this made me sad. so i started to pray about it and talk about it and read about it and listen for it to show up and live it (i'm in training still :). eventually God taught me some of what it means to be a sister, how to be a sister, how to see my brothers in a way that glorifies Him, and how to treat them in a way that is helpful instead of harmful and that builds them up instead of hinders them.

yep, that's kind of what the book is about. it's about learning to love your brothers as brothers...nothing more and nothing less than siblings in the family of God.
