There were a couple things I have been thinking about a lot after reading Esther here are a few of them…

Esther is such an interesting book of the bible. If I remember from when I was taking bible classes at my school, some biblical scholars believe it should not be in the bible for its lack or reference to God. But, I must admit I don’t believe I have ever read Esther the whole way through and I think it reeks of God’s presence.

I really do not want to get all feministic here because I am not one by any means, but I just really assured me of just how amazing woman are and how we are called to God’s purpose just as much as men and we are used by God just as much.

Maybe this is very elementary to some but for me ever since I attended the college I went to, who believes that woman should not be ministers or head of a church, I have just really struggled with where do woman fit in. Why did God design woman to be the way we are. I really do not want to get into a, woman in church debate or discussion or really tell you where I stand on that. But what I am trying to say very inarticulately is that, I hated being a woman for so long, I felt like I really wanted to really great things for the God and his kingdom but felt like I couldn’t because I was a woman.

Ever since I left I guess I have been trying to evaluate why I felt that way and if I should justly still feel that way. I know I never read Esther because so many women use that as a pedestal for themselves in the church (in my experiences) but it was really great reading it and not having some kind of feministic agenda.
 I really want to learn more about it and I borrowed a book from my mom’s pastor who is a woman, and its Charles Swindol
  or as I like to call him Chuck , Character series
 Esther. He is a fabulous Author and I have read some other books of his.
 

God uses all for his purpose.
