  • I've been thinking of the women of the Bible a lot today. I'd love to hear what your favorite women/story of women in the Bible is! Can be more than one, dont have to have a favorite, I'm just curious!



    candyhearts I love this question!! There’s so much nuance to these women; misunderstood, marginalized, but also fierce, resilient, and profoundly human. Hagar stands out to me!! The way she’s cast out into the wilderness with her son and then encounters G-d is so powerful. He saw her, truly saw her. That's real and beautiful.

    alliyah Hagar is a fabulous answer. I'm also a big fan of the woman by the well and Mary the mother of Christ and Mary and Martha the sisters of Lazarus.

    Lullaby I definitely need to read more about the women in the Bible but the first book of the Bible I read entirely was Ruth, and so I think (so far) it is her. I still have so much to learn!

    WinnyWriter Am I allowed to say Jael, the one who killed the enemy by driving a tent spike through his temple? ;p

    Just kidding. I don't really know who my favorite would be in all seriousness, though.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that life's going to launch you into something great, so just focus and keep aiming.
