Ruffle Romper + Coffee Date Vol. 4

July 9, 2017 By Ruthie Ridley 34 Comments

The Ruffle Romper

The Olive Block Heel

 

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!

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.
