Last week was a trying week for me, I was exposed to some tough stuff and it really had me questioning why I was here. Why did I go across the US just to go to school? Isn't life suppose to be about loving the people around you? And if that is true, then why did I chose to leave the people that I love and that love me just to better my education? It seemed silly to me that I have been putting so much emphasis on achievement when in the big scheme of things, does it really matter? As I was dwelling on all of these questions I stumbled onto a passage in Ruth and decided to get creative with it. Here is what I came up with:
This passage spoke to my heart and even though I know that God is with me wherever I go, I needed the reminder. I needed to be reminded that you can find God's community of believers wherever you go (or stay) and that there is a purpose for every adventure.
Side note: Since moving down here I have found a group of people that I enjoy spending time with and I know that they love me and support me while I am so far away from family. I am blessed to have met them and have enjoyed that I get to take on the rigors of school with them by my side. Thanks friends! :-)
Very nice...

Just remember Ruth followed the In law.. or mother in law instead of going home to her family... :)
But God did reward them
