Good Women Behaving Badly<br><br>A spiteful boss, a defiant employee, a manipulative mother, a desperate housewife, an envious sister…honey, we <i>know </i>these women. We've lived with them, worked with them, or caught a glimpse of them in our mirrors.<br><br>Now let's take a look at their ancient counterparts in Scripture: <b>Sarah</b> mistreated her maidservant, <b>Hagar</b> despised her mistress, <b>Rebekah</b> manipulated her son, <b>Leah</b> claimed her sister's husband, and <b>Rachel</b> envied her fertile sister. <br><br>They were far from evil, but hardly perfect. Mostly good, yet slightly bad. In other words, these matriarchal mamas look a lot like us. <br><br><i>“A Slightly Bad Girl is simply this: a woman unwilling to fully submit to God. We love him, serve him, and worship him, yet we find it difficult to trust him completely, to accept his plan for our lives, to rest in his sovereignty.”</i> —from <i>Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible</i>
