A few weeks ago, I made mention of the fact that Ruth could have followed Naomi (her mother-in-law) to Bethlehem and chosen to do nothing but wallow in the house
Because, let’s face it, she had every excuse to- having lost her father and brother-in-law and become a widow herself. But she didn’t.
Instead of checking out of life, like Naomi did initially, Ruth decided that she would keep going and keep pushing forward for them both
Which, unless you missed my last 2 blog posts (here and here), you’ll know that Ruth’s decision to go work in the fields led to her marrying Boaz. birthing children and becoming one of Jesus' fore-mothers (Ruth 4:13-22; Matthew 1:1-16).
Which then begs the question: how do we as modern women keep showing up even when we don’t want to?
Especially when life happens, PMS happens or (from a business point of view) tech/staff issues happen- meaning that you don't always feel physically, mentally and/or emotionally able to put yourself out there and remain visible.
