I love the end of this book. Women can now be landowners through inheritance. This is really a big fist pump moment in the Old Testament.
While this was great progress for women, we all know it was just a small drop in the bucket.
At the young age of 39 I sometimes forget how things were before me. As a busy wife, mom and teacher it is almost impossible to reflect on anything other than the long to do list.
I am truly thankful for these type of strong women in my life. Mentors. My go to in times of need. You know who you are. I don't have to name you here. You are my calm in the crazy, my pause when I am on fast forward, my rescue when I am in the deep water, my breathe in times of suffocation. You are strong women of God placed perfectly by Him in my life, in my day, in my moment.
I bet those women who went to Moses and Eleazar had those mentors cheering them on. Encouraging them. Telling them what to say and what NOT to say. Calming them in the nervousness.
One day I hope to be that women to someone. In the meantime, I will continue to call on my girl squad and most importantly God.
