Evelyn's response to our Bible study on the Help Meet Dilemma:
I have to say, that I have never really looked at this verse that closely, but I don't think it would have bothered me much. I have always known in some way that I was put here to serve. In what way and exactly how I have yet to learn, but I am sure God will show me when the time is right.
I like the fact that I am considered a helper an important part of helping my spouse, as well as God fulfill the needs of others. I pray that I am able to follow the path created for me in a way that the Lord will find appropriate.
I am just now searching for my destiny through God's plan. I have some idea, although I am not sure he is ready for me to begin. I am listening and learning to pray for his guidance, and I know when the time comes he will be there every step of the way.
I think the whole concept, that we are an important part of creation, and as important to God's plan as any other creature is very empowering. I look forward to what the future has in store for me through Christ.

Are you a good help meet? And, what does God mean when He created women as man's help meet? Those are some of the questions that we looked at in Lesson 2of our Creation of Woman Study. Here is Sandra's response to this lesson:
1. Has the term 'help meet" ever bothered you? Why or why not?
No it has not bothered me because when I think of helpmate I think of something Good, although I have not always been a good helpmate.
2. What changes about the way you see yourself when you meditate on the idea of being an ezer?
I am my husband's helpmate and when I meditate on that I come to repentance for all the times I was not a good helpmate. And know that I am now his good helpmate.
3. God has made each of us for a very specific reason. Have you given any thought to your God ordained destiny?
I believe to lead and to teach but am still searching for more especially at home.
4.Did you read something in the Creation of Woman Bible Study Lessons that touched you? Write it down and reflect on it throughout the course.
Yes, that it was not good that the man be alone and nothing else completed him as the woman did.

Here are Crystal's answers to our Bible study on The truth hidden in the term: Help Meet.
1. Has the term 'help meet" ever bothered you? Why or why not?
The Term has never bothered me, I'm not sure why but it seems we all need a help meet. It just makes sense.
2. What changes about the way you see yourself when you meditate on the idea of being an ezer?
I have a friend in a situation and I was told that he felt I was there in a offense position or a position of gate keeper...and I started to mediatate on what did God want me to take from the conversation..and Ezer make sense it resonates with me. so maybe I can begin to understand my role better in this relationship.
3. God has made each of us for a very specific reason. Have you given any thought to your God ordained destiny?
I've given a lot of thought to my ordained destiny and I will continue to explore it and pray for answers.

What is a help meet to you? Here is one woman's thought on the term "Help Meet" after completing Lesson 2 of "Why Did God Create Woman, The Help Meet Dilemma:
1. Has the term 'help meet" ever bothered you? Why or why not?
The term help meet never bothered me. I always sensed it was a much deeper more beautiful thing to be.
2. What changes about the way you see yourself when you meditate on the idea of being an ezer?
For me nothing changes when I think on the word ezer because I suppose I was taught early that women are strong and caring and sensitive and women can view things in my opinion in a much broader scope of beauty.
3. God has made each of us for a very specific reason. Have you given any thought to your God ordained destiny?
I have always thought on my ordained destiny. I just never seem to figure it out enough to do what I need to do as the Lord calls me to.
