In the beginning...most of us are familiar with the creation account in Genesis, chapters one and two. When you read the account of God creating the animals and Adam, how were they created? How was Eve created? I can almost sense that woman was an afterthought, but I am sure God had planned for us all along. We were created in a different way and for a very specific purpose; to be a help meet for man. A humbling thought in our self important based society. That we were created for man is the basis of this entire study. One we will explore as married, single, divorced and widowed women together, hoping to implement more of God's plan in our lives.
After reading the first chapter what are your thoughts about being created for the unique purpose of being a help meet?
