Blessing

I was lead to the book of Ruth today and although people have tole me to read the story before, I still have never gotten much out of it. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not reading it properly or if I'm not paying enough attention to it. So today I thought if I was lead there again, there must be a reason for it.

So I read the book of Ruth asking God what it was he wanted to show me.

Ruth left her family and everything she knew to go back with Naomi to Judah. This move brought great change in her life and she was blessed. This is where I related to it. I had left my family and everything I knew when I moved away from WA. I wasn't following my mother-in-law like Ruth had been, the move for me was a move on my own but I think what God is trying to show me is that a move like that, has brought me closer to Him just as it did for Ruth. And that this will bring blessing to my life. I have already had such a blessing but there is more in store for me.

Before the move Ruth had lost her husband and her and Naomi had very little, but by the end of the story Ruth had been blessed with a new husband who was not unwealthy and was able to take care of her. Now, I don't think God is trying to give me a lesson on marriage here, but simply that following the path He has set for me, following the move that I have made will bring great blessing. When I left WA, I had very little, but now I have gained so much in my life, not money but love, kindness and belonging. And this is only the beginning.

Thankful for: Creativity

Today I am thankful for creativity. As a dancer, this is very handy! The number of dances I have choreographed in the years I have been choreographing would be rather boring if I didn't have any creativity. I am not the greatest choreographer but I know how to put something together and I'm just thankful for that gifting.
