✨ Follow the Thread – Ruth 1 ✨
She renamed herself Bitter. But God never stopped calling her His.
This post isn’t just about Ruth—it’s about Naomi. The woman who lost everything… and still walked home. Who prayed a broken prayer… and still believed God heard. Who renamed herself out of grief… but never stopped calling Him Almighty.
If you’ve ever felt like your story was too messy, too painful, or too unfinished—come sit across the coffee table with Naomi. You might see more of yourself than you expected.

Because apparently, the book of Ruth is not just a biblical rom-com with a barley field meet-cute and the ancient version of Mr. Right.
I used to think Ruth was the original Cinderella story. Tragic backstory. Noble man. Surprise harvest romance.
But the more I studied it to teach, the more I realized:
It’s less fairy tale, more faith-in-the-waiting.
Less romance, more revelation.
Less Boaz, more hesed—God’s covenant kindness that keeps showing up in grief, awkward moments, and barley gleaning.
This blog series isn’t a rehash of my notes—it’s the rabbit trails I couldn’t stop following. Threads I’m tugging on. Kindness that’s undone me.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the waiting or wondered what God’s doing in your mess—this one’s for you.
🧵 Come follow the thread with me.
