Just make sure you don't work yourself into any sickness. Take good care of yourself as you do what needs to be done.

Somne of your source on this one is fanciful. A 160 lb bow of any sort would be of use only to our strongest modern athletes, if that. There was nobody alive in the middle ages capable of pulling a 160 lb. bow and there sure as hell has never been anybody light enough to ride horses and strong enough to pull a hundred and sixty pound bow. Figure about 80 or 90 lbs, absolute tops.
Aside from that, the idea of women riding in a mongol army is ludicrous. Mongol women stayed home and raised mongol kids.
To: LaDivaLoca
Yes, Mongol women learned to use the bow. So did Samurai women.
Many people would admire the two swords the head of household might have on display in his home after the custom of his ancestors, but how many would even notice grandmother's bow in the corner?

The Mongol way of life wasn't very different from the ancient Scythians who preceeded them. Many different tribes of Scythians ordinarily taught the use of swords and bows to their girls who joined them in whatever warfare arose.
The ancient Greeks supposedly came up with their Amazon Women tales based on their observation of these tribes.
There's no reason to suppose the Mongols left their women defenseless anymore than did the more ancient people in that part of the world.

How To Be Unpopular
Read: Jeremiah 23:16-23
Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture! Jeremiah 23:1
Bible In One Year: Daniel 5-7; 2 John
In 1517, Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg. Luther became known as a reformer, and we remember his bold stand as a turning point in church history.
The fiery priest demonstrated great courage in expressing outrage at the church's practice of selling forgiveness through indulgences, which allowed the people to sin intentionally in exchange for money.
Luther's passion to stop these practices did not make him popular with the religious authorities of his day. In fact, his efforts resulted in a series of attempts to silence him.
Long before Luther, the prophet Jeremiah felt the power of God's Word in his heart "like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not" (Jeremiah 20:9). Jeremiah and Luther refused to allow God's truth to be compromised.
Living for God is about grace and forgiveness, but it's also about boldly standing for the truth. Having God's Word in our heart doesn't always result in warm, pleasant feelings. Sometimes His truth becomes a blazing fire that causes us to challenge corruptioneven though we may be attacked for it. Julie Ackerman Link
Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord.
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word. Watts
It's better to declare the truth and be rejected than to withhold it just to be accepted.
