The Gospel According to the Women Who Waited - The Women Who Still Wait

The women of scripture did not wait in comfort. Mary waited under the shadow of empire, pregnant and vulnerable in a world where unwed motherhood could cost her everything. Elizabeth waited through decades of infertility, social shame, and silence. Anna waited through widowhood and poverty, keeping vigil in a temple that barely noticed her. Hagar waited in exile and scarcity, carrying a child while fleeing abuse and abandonment.
