Two sisters in Christ talking about faith and seeking to live it out.
Day 2 Conversation This week we will explore Ruth’s story. Let’s begin at the beginning. Read Ruth 1:1-5 In the culture Naomi lived in women had very few choices.

Day 1 Connection The Psalmist writes, “Thy word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you.” The Bible is more than a book to read and put on the shelf when you are done.

Story Read Judges 16:21-30 Samson’s story doesn’t end well by our standards. He is blind, shackled, and walking ‘round and ‘round in circles.

What reason did he give for … Continue reading Unfolding Enough: Right Relationship

They were … Continue reading Unfolding Enough: Never Misunderstood
