Welcome to coffee date vol. 4!! I like to use these coffee dates to update you all on life happenings and also share some fashion inspirations as well! June was completely insane so I wasn’t able to get a coffee date in, which is a bummer!! But, here I am today and there  are 5 things I wanted to share with you all!! I hope you can share a little about your self below as well!! Also, if you wanted to catch up on previous coffee dates, you can check them out here, here and here.

Ruffle Romper + Coffee Date Vol. 4: Life Happenings and Summer Fashion Inspiration

  • Ben and I went to Las Vegas late June and it was an experience!! I was there for ministry and led worship one night at a local church.  The rest of the time was left for us to explore and just be together! We didn’t get crunk and get wrapped up in the “fun” of  sin city but we did do a lot of walking, people watching and eating! A post will be coming to the blog later on this month highlighting the two places we stayed.  Both were impeccable and insanely impressive! I cannot wait to share!! Not gonna lie, I left Vegas a little speechless! LOL
  • I had the privilege of singing on the next Jesus Culture album.  The name of my song which was written by Chris McClarney is called “Love That Saves.”  The name of the album is “Love Has A Name” and is officially available for pre-order!!! EEEK!! This has been an unreal/surreal opportunity for me and I cannot wait for you to hear all of these songs!! The album officially comes out August 11th but is available for pre-order here.  
  • The biggest opportunity to have come to Ruthie Ridley Blog came my way this past week.  I am still in shock about this proposal, but it is happening! I signed a contract and I cannot wait to share this collaboration with you all.  This was so huge for me that it really elevated my level of faith for this blog and what God is capable of doing through me.  I am literally in awe! Stay tuned for this amazing project and opportunity! It should hit the blog in September some time!! 🙂
  • Ben and I just completed our second year at JCME with the kids.  This is a missions experience that occurs annually at an orphanage in Mexico.  Every time we leave we are completely changed.  It was incredibly awesome this year! We will be heading back here to Mexico as a family in November to be a part of one of their worship nights and I already can’t wait!  We did the missions experience last year and it was so powerful and impacting for us and the kids! Today, we are headed to San Diego for the very first time.  This will be our actual family vacation.  We have never spent time in San Diego so I am REALLY looking forward to the beach and that perfect weather! We are considering Sea World as well for the kiddos! We hear Lego Land is not that far away either so that is an option!  Be sure to follow along on my Insta-stories!!
  • We have not been back to CT since my 30th birthday a few years ago! We just found out that my mother in law, sister in law and my brand new nephew will be there in September so we decided to meet them there! Anna, lives in Turkey and my mother-in-law Gill lives in the UK, we knew we had to make every effort to see them with them being here in the US! I can’t wait for this adventure.  We also plan on taking the kids to NYC during that trip so that will be a BLAST!!

    I have learned result-oriented things by means of your site. One other thing I’d really like to say is that often newer pc os’s are inclined to allow extra memory to be utilized, but they also demand more memory space simply to perform. If an individual’s computer is not able to handle a lot more memory and also the newest program requires that storage increase, it might be the time to buy a new Laptop or computer. Thanks

    An impressive share, I given this onto a colleague who was simply performing a small analysis during this. And hubby in truth bought me breakfast simply because I discovered it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for that treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending time go over this, I find myself strongly about this and really like reading regarding this topic. If possible, as you grow expertise, does one mind updating your blog post with a lot more details? It is actually extremely useful for me. Massive thumb up due to this writing!

WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WHAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MIRACLES YOU HAVE EVER WITNESSED GOD DO IN YOUR LIFE?!✨🫶🏾🕊️❤️‍🔥🙌🏾🙏🏾🤍

I’ll go first!! Earlier this week I was just thinking about how faithful God has been to me over the years! I think we all go through different highs and lows, but it’s so good to stop and look back and remember what God has done! 

Back in 2008 when Ben and I just got married, the market had crashed. I had purchased a home on my own in CT- We lost the house and our cars were repossessed - I honestly felt like we would never recover from that!!! Not to mention, I felt so much failure and shame attached to that season!

Fast-forward to 2019, we begin working with our dear friend  @cody.d.williams  on purchasing our very first home together and he told us all the work that needed to be done with our credit,etc. we took a year and did everything we could to get things right! Not only were we able to purchase our first home together in 2019, but everything from the past was no longer a factor & two years later we were able to purchase an even more magnificent property that we now call home 🏡 

Why was this a miracle for me? I think because I thought we would always be behind & nothing would ever change. We rented for 7+ years before we were able to purchase a home as a married couple and that started to discourage me! 

Just a reminder that little miracles happen everyday and that your worst is never the worst.  God can turn your situation around in a moment!!! The BEST is yet to COME!!! Keep believing ⭐️

Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending Earlier this week, I had the privilege of spending some quality time with other incredible creators at a retreat with @parkermanagement 🤍 It really felt like a retreat for my soul ✨Napa is also reallly good at forcing you to slow down and take in the gorgeous views 😌

Spending time with these wonderful humans this week reminded me that I still belong here, even though I might not look like everyone else (or feel like I fit in) that’s the beauty of it all right?

I think after doing something for a very long time and in this space specifically, it’s easy to feel imposter syndrome, self doubt and the inability to “keep up”. Although an app or an industry has changed over time it’s so important to stay true to yourself.

 So grateful for this time away & I’m leaving with my cup overflowing! God is always on time with these types of things. Just when we need another boost or some encouragement, He sends all the right people your away! He is just good like that 🤩
