I may make a subsection in my BQJ on widows. Many of them are unnamed, but their stories are very impactful.

Michal's story has many twists and turns. I included her sister, Merab, on the same page because they were mentioned together.

Saul had two daughters, Merab and Michael, both of whom he offered to David in marriage to serve his political purposes.

The relationship between Naomi and her daughter-in-law, Ruth, is a poignant one of loyalty and redemption. Let's create a #biblequiltjournal page on Naomi!

Since these women's stories are so closely entertwined, I'll share Ruth's pages here also that I did several years ago.

The story of Jephthah's daughter is one I'd probably overlook unless I was intentionally #scripturewriting about #womenoftheBible. It's not too late to start yours, too!

Welcome to our group Women of the Word BQJ! This is a space for us to connect and share with each other as we create pages about women's storylines. You're welcome to post your pages on specific women along with the starter posts that I'm generating. That way we'll have an ongoing sample for those that join us along the way.
