Ruth's Road: May 2012

http://ruths-road.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Thursday, May 24, 2012. Loved, what receiving real love from another person looks like. Is not only about what I do. For them, and how I love them. Its about loving me because of who. If I didn't do one more thing for them would they still love me and treat me the same? Desires to hear my voice and see my face. Can't stand to be apart from each other and will take extreme measures to be together. Isn't moved by your flaws. Is aroused, captured and drawn in, it is not flaunted or teased. I signed up, got ...

Ruth's Road: Back in a Moment

http://ruths-road.blogspot.com/2012/10/back-in-moment.html

Tuesday, October 9, 2012. Back in a Moment. I was back in the moment. I felt the overwhelming confusion, why did I go back to work? How did I even function. And I felt this sadness slowly creeping over me. I thought about kneeling at the grave the day we buried him, and saying "I leave it all here. I'm burying it all." Why is it that our emotions do that? Why does a simple phrase, smell or location take us back to the moment? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter. Just for a Season.

http://ruths-road.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-lighthouse-half-marathon.html

Thursday, October 18, 2012. The Lighthouse Half Marathon. It was 50 degrees and rainy, but I had signed up for the inaugural race of the Lighthouse Half Marathon, and I was going to run it! Everything seemed perfect, the temperature was in the mid 50s, and the continual rain for the past 24 hours, had stopped! I met a really nice girl on the bus, who had was running her first race ever. and a half marathon at that! The day was looking great! And in the moment when I wanted to cave I remembered that. ...

Ruth's Road: June 2012

http://ruths-road.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Why are we women so easily moved by body image? Why is it that no matter how much weight we lose we still don't see our selves every day as the beautiful women we are? Why is it that in the midst of life turning the corner and our dreams becoming a reality. We can find ourselves in a pit of discouragement, when we should be celebrating? Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Several weeks ago, the thing I dreaded, the final secret made its way public. The details surrounding my late husba...

Ruth's Road: Face to Face

http://ruths-road.blogspot.com/2012/10/face-to-face.html

Tuesday, October 16, 2012. As lunch was drawing to a close, a very random thought crossed my mind. Perhaps I should break the ice. but what would I say? Do you tell the woman who was inimate with your husband, "I forgive you? Does it need to be said? Is it the right thing to say? And most importantly had I really forgiven her? Yes, I need to talk to her. As I ended the conversation, and we stood up, once again I awkwardly asked, "can I hug you? Perhaps. I wouldn't be opposed to it. If I saw her I...Dear ...

Ruth's Road: February 2012

http://ruths-road.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Disney Princess Half Marathon. Sunday morning I woke up at 2 am to get ready for my ball. I had a date with 16,000 others who were going to run the Disney Princess Half Marathon. I got into my Belle costume: sequined skirt, gloves, rose and all. I chose Belle because she was my sister's favorite princess and since she died about a year ago I wanted to run this in her memory! Once I was ready, I made my way to the bus, and hopped on board, by now it was 3 am. Almost one year ...

Ruth's Road: Perfect

http://ruths-road.blogspot.com/2012/10/perfect.html

Tuesday, October 23, 2012. I try to be perfect. I expect myself to be perfect. Regardless of how hard I try, and how much I expect perfection, I am not. I'm NOT perfect. I have flaws, I have shortcomings. I am a work in progress. And its time to be okay with it. Its time for me to get in line with God. He knows I'm not perfect. And even more than that He doesn't expect me to be. If God doesn't expect me to be perfect, because He knows I can't be, why do I? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Today I'm wr...
