Parables of the Bible: Prophets

Miriam
You know my story from the books my brother has penned. How I led my people in worship after we crossed the Red Sea and how I criticized my brother and earned the LORD's displeasure.
I am an ordinary woman, yet, I have earned the title 'prophetess'.
How have I earned this, you ask?
Even, I don't know.
Sure, I led a few people in song and dance along the seashore. My task was to serve as a mother in Israel, nurturing our people.
Who am I to judge how I am remembered?
I am the sister of a prophet and of the first high priest.
I am highly regarded in Israel, even unto your day.
I am Miriam, the prophetess.
