SARA WESSLIN
She is Skolt Sami a journalist and listed among the world's 100 most influential women. There are about 1200 Skolt Sámi living in the border areas between Finland, Russia and Norway. Not all speak the language. And she is actively pursuing to save her language from extinction. If you want to read about her click on this link.
Hannah of the Bible was also a lonely women and barren at that. And that is the common thread between Sara Wesslin and Hannah: they are the lone ones not accepting their fate in life. Hannah started to pray. And the priest of the time thought that she was a drunkard and held her in contempt. But God in heaven did not think so and heard her cry and answered it. The prophet Samuel was born. There is a fascinating story written specially for you and me in the Bible: Read it in 1 Samuel chapter 3 and 4:1. See what happened. Before Samuel was born, the word of God was not heard often in the land. When he was born, things changed for the better. I encourage you to read it. If you don't have a Bible I really encourage you to go out and buy one and start reading it; therefore I am not going to provide you with a link to the Bible passage but earnestly encouraging you to get your own copy of the Bible.
