Women of the Old Testament and Pearl of Great Price

Women of the Old Testament and Pearl of Great Price

When I started my studying of the women in the scriptures I started with the Old Testament and then did cross references with the Pearl of Great Price. Since there are woman in the beginning of Genesis that are the same such as Eve and Sarah. I did find a few other women in the Pearl of Great Price I felt were worth mentioning that I never knew existed and showed a great amount of faith. This is the reason I decided to do both the books together. Upon reading the women in each of the books stories exemplified differently  the things they had challenges to. They applied their life lessons and took on their challenges willingly with great faith or a defiant will. Each woman had their own life experience to their story to tell and some with a couple of stories got shared. Their stories are  a testament of the way they lived and what they believed.  The things I wrote is the impressions that are on my  mind and heart. They are the things I feel have become a testimony from them to me in my reading about living  for God or not for God.

Eve Mother of All Living

Eve The Mother of all Living (Moses 3:15-5:12; Genesis chapters 1-5) There is so much that we can learn from Eve. She was the first woman on the Earth. Her example and teachings still live on today because she taught her daughters that carried on the knowledge she taught them. I couldn't even imagine the responsibility that our first mother had to be a teacher to all generations of laying down the groundwork laying upon her shoulders. There are  thoughts that might have crossed her mind from the beginning! Eve might have had at times the question crossing her mind why was I chosen for this task to bring forth and be created to bring forth our family? Why does this work seem like such a challenge to me? Maybe she even asked herself why did I partake of the fruit? I could still be by God in his home. The strength and courage she had to go out in a world unknown and take on a world of trials that came to her. The the things she saw and would've experienced with herself, hus...

Multiply and Replenish(Eve)

So today as i was reading the creation once again my thoughts came the words Adam and Eve were commanded on Multiply and replenish the Earth. I know God also said not to take of the fruit of the tree of knowledge because they would handsome like the like the gods. Then i started to think how even Noah and his wife and the rest of his family were also commanded to multiply and replenish the earth. I had my moment when i realized it has another meaning. We read many times in scripture we are the vine of his fruit he prunes us. We are can put on the fruits of the spirit. God planted in the east corner of eden a garden for adam and eve. They were told to take care of the garden and to care for the animals. As I was reading the thought crossed my mind from the typical meaning we always put on multiply and replenish. My thoughts were actually that of Learning. So I always find it interesting information that God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply always came across as offapring. ...

Mom of boys!!!!

But this I know: each of  you, equally yoked with the sons of god, will be a major part of a miracle of gospel learning and living that will hasten the gathering of Israel and will prepare God's family for the glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ."  --Henry B. Erying I watch as the world around us condone men. I really think of the feminism stance as one of tearing our men down. When we as mothers are the ones raising these men. The toughness that is given that men will be men and boys will be boys as a mother of six boys and three daughters haunts me. To have my boys go out to a world that condones them. God gave me my son's to raise and to be taught by me. It all behind in the home of we are having issues with the way men act maybe we should teach our boys the respect that is as women deserve. I know oldest looked at me one day and said "mom these feminist our tearing down everything want what we have and men like you have taught me if they want...
