Get To Know Me

September 11, 2020 By Ruthie Ridley 27 Comments

 It’s been a while since I’ve done any sort of introduction so I thought it was time to share a little bit about me!!

I am 36 years old born on June 21st in Jamaica.

I was raised in Connecticut and I am currently living in Northern California.

I love Jesus and I decided at the age of 15 to give my life fully to him and surrender. Best decision I’ve ever made.

I am a worship leader and have been singing since I was 8 years old in front of people.

I have one sibling, my younger brother. I am older.

I became a nurse in 2003. I was 19 at the time, young and naïve. Super thankful that I knew early on what I wanted to do with my life.

I have been married to the love of my life for 12 years. We dated from June to December and were married the following July. It was love at first sight.

Ben, my husband, was born in England and is the second born of 5.

Ben is a police officer for a local Police Department. Extremely thankful for all of our Frontline workers.

We have three beautiful children, Ava (11), Savannah (almost 10) and Judah (8). They are 15 and 17 months apart.

Growing up I never had a dog and I swore that we would never have one in this household until Ben and the kids convinced me to get Charlie. Now I’m an animal lover and I want more dogs even though I just got another one! Welcome to the family Eli!

We bought our first home together last August.

I can barely swim.

My weakness is fries and gummy candy.

I got my tubes tied at 28 and I really regret it.

I am 5’1”.

I have been wearing wigs since I was 18 and I love them!

I started this blog in 2015 after failing at two other blogs prior. This was for fun and never in 1 million years did I think I would have any success at all. God proved me wrong over and over again. 

Pretty sure I am an Enneagram 7 with an 8 wing.

Now that you know a little bit about me, tell me something about you in the comments below!!

Hi friends 😌Wow… this week hit me like a ton Hi friends 😌Wow… this week hit me like a ton of bricks, as I’m sure it has for many of you. I can’t find the words truly. As a mom, a daughter, a wife and a friend - I cannot begin to fathom the pain that these families are experiencing from the most recent tragedy that took place in Texas. All I have been able to feel is grief. 

As I was processing with a friend this week I asked her a few hard questions. She had lost her best friend / husband to a devastating accident some years ago. I said “Do people ever ask you how you still follow Jesus and don’t blame him for what happened!?” She said “All the time. Jesus didn’t make this happen but He allowed my husband to come home” I was awestruck by this response. Evil truly has been rampant from the beginning of time. 

She went on to say “I could have turned my back on Jesus but then what? I would’ve ended up with nothing. God doesn’t promise us a life without pain, heartache and grief, but He does promise to walk with us through it all and will never leave us nor forsake us.” 

That was exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve been a woman of faith since I was 15 years old & I’m still growing, learning, asking hard questions. I have been clinging to my only hope this week- Jesus Christ. There is no other alternative for me. I’m sure one fine day… He will explain it all to me. Swipe left to read the most beautiful/ perfectly stated prayer this week by @cleerelystated 🙏🏾. Sending so much love and prayers to the families affected and to you all as well ❤️🙏🏾❤️
