Being A Modern Ruth

I know so many amazing young ladies and women who are single. It is so easy, especially as the holidays get closer, to become disappointed that the right man isn’t in your life yet. I have been there and I truly think it is natural to struggle with this. But hear me out… you are disappointed because the right man isn’t in your life yet. You want a man not a boy and you want the right one.

You don’t want a guy that is pretending to be an adult who plays video games in his room throughout the day and is obsessed with games to the point he doesn’t have a life. Or a guy that isn’t motivated.

Or a Christian boy...

You want a Christian man.

You deserve nothing less than a Boaz.

A man who is a leader and a man devoted to God.

You want a guy who has found God.

A guy who has found himself (has become a man) and then a man who can come find you.

You deserve to be pursued.

If we focus on God’s plan for our life the right person will naturally be on the path. Be yourself because your person is made to love those quirks as you are meant to love theirs.

You want a Godly man so you need to focus on becoming a Godly woman so that when he is ready, he will be able to find you.

Waiting is not for the faint of heart, but it's something you can do. It's not just something to “get through,” there are lessons you get to learn and blessings you will receive in your single season even if it is just for a time.

Focus on what God has asked you to do.

Ruth didn’t have to follow His plan, to walk what seemed to be an unknown and fearful journey but she CHOSE to.

She didn’t know or even think that she would meet Boaz.

She had to follow what was before her and she was faithful in the small ways and the largest way by joining and taking care of her widowed mother-in-law, Naomi.

The thing that caught Boaz’s eye was Ruth's willingness and selflessness. Wait for the guy who sees these things. Wait for the man who chases God and then actively pursues you.

The journey you walk as a single lady matters because every day of your life matters!

Your story is the inspiration to help someone on the worst day they face. As others have encouraged you, encourage. As others have uplifted you, uplift others.

Use all your time regardless of your relationship status to be a light.

LISTEN to those around you.

IGNITE passion in your life and in others.

GRAVITATE toward the Ultimate Love.

HEART every human life.

TRUST His plan really is perfect.

Each of these will help you focus on others and the most important relationship you have, with Christ.

Realize who you are to Him every day.

Trust in His plan for your life.

Follow the plan He has shown you.

Need help to find your way? His Word will provide. Pick a Gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) or read a Psalm/Proverb for the date. Or maybe read the entire book of Ruth.

Start here.

He is right here. He pursues you always.

The best thing you can do is let Him get close. Open His Word. You won’t regret it. <3 Promise

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
