Sojourning Hope

“God’s commands are given for two good purposes: to protect us from the destructiveness of sin and to direct us into a life of joy and fruitfulness.”

“You will grow to be an ishah chakmah, a wise woman, one who will offer solace to those who mourn, hope to the downtrodden, and who will speak Yahweh’s truth in times of trouble.”

She could be doing something important—like filing paperwork for insurance claims.”
― Rebekah Merkle, Eve in Exile and the Restoration of Femininity
