Raising Strong Women

October 16, 2020 By Ruthie Ridley 25 Comments

Ruthie Ridley Blog Raising Strong WomenRuthie Ridley Blog Raising Strong WomenRuthie Ridley Blog Raising Strong WomenWatching these girls grow up and raising them to be strong, God-fearing women is one of the greatest joys in my life!! It’s a responsibility I do not take lightly and am honored that I get to do! I strive to not only teach them how to be strong women, but to show them!!

I want to make sure I always walk with them in their difficulties and heartbreak and celebrate with them in their joys and triumphs!!!

I’m not gonna lie, sometimes I do wish that I could stop them from growing up or at least slow down the process, but then I look at the amazing women they are turning into and the excitement to see their continuous growth balances out the sadness of knowing they won’t stay my babies forever!!

I want to make sure I always speak life over my girls and solidify their confidence, strength, and identity!! I thought I’d throw in a few quotes that I feel speak such beautiful life over women of all ages! Hopefully, this can be even a small reminder of how strong you are as well!!

“She never seemed shatters; to me, she was a breathtaking mosaic of the battles she’s won.” — Matt Baker

“No matte how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you’re still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.” — Anthony Robbins

“One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and it will be someone else’s survival guide.” — Brene Brown

“A strong woman accepts both compliments and criticism graciously, knowing that it takes both sun and rain for a flower to grow.” — Mandy Hale

“Bold power and glorious majesty are wrapped around her as she laughs with joy over the latter days.” — Proverbs 31:25

    I simply desired to thank you so much all over again. I do not know what I would have carried out in the absence of the information contributed by you on such a area. It truly was a frightful case in my opinion, however , observing the very expert avenue you resolved the issue forced me to weep for delight. Extremely thankful for the advice and thus wish you find out what a powerful job you have been getting into instructing people with the aid of your websites. Probably you’ve never come across all of us.

    Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just
    so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad
    is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

    is maintained over here.

I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but why not 🤪. I left the worst ones out 😅

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

And don’t worry I got a new wig this week 😝💀🤣

This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my Nursing 🩺👩🏾‍⚕️ license after leaving my job in 2020 and spending five years at home with my kids creating content full time. To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

I am dancing because I can & because I am thankful. Your life can change SO much in a year, overnight or In a MOMENT. Trust God with your life. He will NEVER let you down 🤍
The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Comb The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Combo😝!!! You already know life is crazy, there is no “work-life balance” & we have stories to exchange for dayyys!!! 

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️

Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD Just stopping your scroll this evening to say GOD IS GREAT. There are seasons where God takes years and decades to answer prayers (and I’m still waiting for some of those) and then there’s the moments where God answers your prayers hours or a day later. He’s amazing in the suddenly and he’s amazing in the waiting. Thankful for the journey✨Thankful for his faithfulness - thankful that even as I wait - He is still good😌

The way she spoke about healing, freedom, and using your own story to create change was both powerful and deeply moving. Her journey is a reminder that what we walk through doesn’t have to define us — but it can shape the way we serve others.

If you haven’t listened yet, this is your sign.
