Hey boomerwomen....we should adopt the book of Esther from the Old Testament as our own. It really speaks to women like you. My favorite parts of the story are when Esther's uncle is trying to get her to do something for the Jewish people in her role as wife to the king, that could prove deadly. He told her if she chose not to do what she could to save her people that she would be turning her back on God. He said something to the effect..."for you were born for such a time as this". And once Esther was on board, she said, "If I perish, I perish." I've always wanted to put that on a teeshirt. Isn't that just like many of our lives....do what needs to be done, no matter the personal cost. I'd like to be more like Esther.
