Women of the Bible, Women Like Us

Come, sit with us around the Word

Seen by God

Hagar in the wilderness — the God who sees me, Genesis 16

“You are the God who sees me.”

Courage to Stand

LEAH

Learning to Praise

MARY

Waiting and Trusting

Mary mother of Jesus

“I am the Lord’s servant.”

Luke 1:38

Mary, being very young, declared herself totally submission with God’s will in her life, even when she did not fully understand His plan. Her story reminds us that relationship, surrender and faith in God, walk together, even when the road ahead is unknown.
