I was going to stop at the first 4, but more kept coming to me. There are so many great women out there, I hope you stop by and learn from them. Although they have different lives, they have the same thing in common; they are righteous, praying, commandment keeping, trusting in the Lord, Spirit seeking women.  I would do well to live more like them.
