"Yahweh!" she wailed "You promised!
She can now lord it over me! Flaunting her child, and me, I have lost face! He is now the heir. Where is mine!!!?" she wailed in travail.
"We have been waiting for ten years and still nothing. My beloved Father of many nations' is married to me. What a laugh...!!"
In another tent sat a young Egyptian woman. She is a new mother rocking her once pregnant body and weeping.
"Sarah's behavior me is the worst I've ever seen. What did I do? I don't know?
Isolation strategy like going in her tent and closing the flap. She doesn't offer me food or kindness anymore.
Thank God, he is looking after me but this is unbearable.
She had food prepared but that is properly hidden.
I take nothing from her without asking.
When I see her behaviour, it made me remember my childhood experiences and the things I saw.
The bad memories came flooding back into my mind.
In not sure why she is exhibiting this behavior but I believe its because she wants her space, and she is jealous that I am producing and she is not.
Everytime I come around, there is lots of suspicion, accusation, anxiety and misreading everything I say.
Nothing is a joke anymore, so I'm going to keep away."
Sarah’s plan had negative results.
‘Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar; so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.” {Genesis 16:1-2}.
Sadly, the conflict that began aall those years ago seem to be ongoing.
Many women, girls and boys are violated by those of stronger personalities and in powerful positions.. Girls and boys are trafficked in many countries by those they trust.
