6 Lessons I've learnt from the Book of Ruth

Recently I had been studying the book of Ruth again. I have studied it a couple times before, and it is a story I have been very familiar with since I was a child; however, I felt led to study it with fresh eyes and see what the Holy Spirit wanted to teach me in this season of my life. I did exactly that, and I have been truly BLESSED. I won't share absolutely everything I learnt, as 1) this post would become way too long, and 2) some lessons are personal to me and my relationship with God, so I don't want to make it public. This post will highlight six things God has been showing me through Ruth. 

I'M BAAAAACK

Well, this certainly wasn't on my 2024 Bingo card! Did you miss me? Because I sure missed you guys. It feels surreal to be writing this blog post (nostalgic even). I had no idea when I ended Chelle Belle in 2021, that just three years later I'd be back writing again; but it feels GOOD. As you can see, we had a huge makeover. What'd you think? 

Recently I have been feeling an overwhelming itch to blog again. There's something about writing that I just adore, and I massively missed having a platform to share whatever is on my mind. Initially I decided it was time to rebrand and relaunch Chelle Belle, but technology was not on my side. After lots of fiddling around with things, I was no closer to making it as I wanted, so here we are with a brand new page. Although it wasn't the original plan, I'm happy that Chelle Belle is still live and I now have a brand new space for this next journey. 

Some of you might have been around since my Chelle Belle days (if so, thank you for sticking around!), and some of you might be brand new here (in that case, welcome!). Regardless, I'm glad that you're here and I hope you decide to stay. 

This first post is pretty much going to be me addressing the elephants in the room: Where have I been and what's happening now? We'll start with the former.
