Her life was uprooted. She chose to leave behind the only things and place she knew. Her husband had died. And all of her hope seemed lost. But Ruth chose to do the hard thing.

Like most other girls growing up, you probably spent most of your time playing with dolls. You dressed them. Combed their hair. And dressed them again.

She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.“ Psalm 139:14 “I…

She kneeled down and began to pray. Tears streamed down her face as she unashamedly poured her heart out to the Lord. Hannah was an ordinary woman with ordinary struggles. But she was more than just her difficulties. She knew who her God was and how He could turn her circumstance around. Although Hannah was an ordinary woman, she had an extraordinary God. Hannah is an example to all Christian women. Here’s why: Her life was not perfect. Hannah’s story is told in 1 Samuel 1. Just from that one chapter we learn that Hannah was married to a man…
