A Woman of Noble Character

So Ruth was a woman of noble character.  I would love to have that label!  When I die, I want people to be able to truthfully say that I was a woman of noble character.  So what are these character traits?  These are a few I see in Ruth... LOYAL, COMPASSIONATE, SELF SACRIFICING LOVE, HARD WORKING, TRUSTWORTHY, TRUTHFUL, BRAVE, FAITHFUL, BELIEVING, STEADFAST, FOCUSED.  My prayer is that God would continue to shape me into a woman of noble character, that I could raise my children to be people of noble character and that my children will find spouses of noble character when they are older.  I think I will continue to learn what this means all through my lifetime!

A friend of mine just ran her first marathon!  I asked her how she felt about it and she said, "I feel like anything is possible."  Her comment came at just the right time for me, like God wanted her to say those words to me at the instant that she did.  Thanks Harmony for being God's voice  to me in that moment!  I have a few goals that I am working on attaining and at times I just want to say forget it and be done.  Since going on the women's retreat I feel like God is pushing me forward, telling me to get our of my rut and grow.  With Christ, anything is possible.  If my friend can run a marathon, I can run the race in front of me!  I know it will take training and discipline, but I know it can be done.
