Her Character:

She came into the world perfectly at peace with her God and with her husband, the only other person on the planet. She lived in Paradise, possessing every pleasure imaginable.  She never knew the meaning of embarrassment, misunderstanding, hurt, estrangement, envy, bitterness, grief, or guilt until she listened to her enemy and began to doubt GOD.

Her Sorrow:

That she and her husband were banished from Paradise and the presence of God, and that her first son was a murderer and her second son his victim.

Her Joy:

That she had once tasted Paradise, and that God had promised that her offspring would eventually destroy her enemy.

Key Scripture: Genesis 1:26 - 31; 2 -  4

Her Story

The woman stirred and stretched, her skin soft and supple as a newborn's.  One finger, then another moved in gentle exploration of the ground that cradled her. She could feel a warmth filling her, tickling her throat as it tried to escape, spilling out in the strong, glad noise or laughter.  Third time is the charm
