City gates. Legal debates. A baby with a future bigger than Bethlehem.
Just a few thoughts and tangled threads from Ruth 4.

This one’s for the women who feel like outsiders, wondering if they’ll ever be fully seen.
For the weary ones who’ve prayed bitter prayers and walked home with empty hands.
For the ones trying to walk with integrity when no one’s clapping.

Come stand with me at the city gate.
It’s formal. It’s public.
And it might just be the place where redemption steps forward and says your name out loud.

Sticky phones. Fermented sippy cups. Awkward midnight proposals.
Just some thoughts and musings on Ruth 3.

This one’s for the women doing the faithful thing—only to be told wait.
For the ones who trust God enough to be bold, obedient, and a little uncomfortable… even when the outcome isn’t immediate.

Come sit with me at the threshing floor.
It’s weird. It’s holy.
And it might just be where God meets us in the waiting.

It’s easy to think the world is too broken to make a difference. But what if the chaos isn’t a reason to leave—but a reason to stay?

In Ruth 2, Boaz doesn’t just own a field. He cultivates peace in a time of disorder. He speaks blessing in a culture of collapse. And his ordinary faithfulness reminds me a lot of the calling I almost walked away from.

This one’s for the field workers—the quiet culture-makers, the weary advocates, the ones still showing up.

God sees your field.
And it matters more than you know.

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.
