WOB stands for is "Women Of the Bible". I had started a journey (before the idea of blogging my thoughts as a means of accountability) through some of the different women in the Bible using the 'Character Profiles' in my Bible for the women as a guide. I've always loved learning about different cultures and history, so for me, making a decision to see how women in Biblical times lived their lives, learned about God, and everything else, seemed to be a good way for me to start reading the WORD. So, I'm providing you with the WOB list I have. The * denotes women I have already studied, but that doesn't mean I won't revisit them to blog about them for you... what I can tell you so far... God wants women to wait... a lot. There is nothing more annoying to me than waiting, but the underlying theme for Rachel, Sarah, and Elizabeth was WAIT FOR IT and God will provide. It's getting late and I'm going to try to read about one of these lovely ladies tonight... wonder if the theme will be wait again?
Hugs & Love!

What about Babylon the Great (Revelation)? And all the women, like the Syrophoenecian woman or the woman at the well that Jesus talked to?
Or are we talking about women with serious character development?
For now, we're talking about women who have had serious character development to the point where they are easily referenced. These women all have a "Character Profile" within my Bible (there are men too, I'm starting with the women though) and that serves as a good study aid for me along with the notes and commentary. I'm having enough trouble with this list... maybe someday I'll add to it though. :D
