reading

so, i've started reading the old testament...because i feel like i know the new testament, lol.

anyway, tonight i read ruth
which is like stinkin awesome, because ruth is David's grand-mother....which makes her like Jesus' great great great great great great most totally awesome great great great great......great....grandmother. her story is so cool though.

you would have to read it to find out the whole story, but one part of it is so cool to me
when you think of mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws today you think of wwf smackdown.
with ruth and naomi it wasn't like that. when naomi moved back home after her two sons died, she told ruth and her other daughter-in-law to go back home to their own families. well, the other one did, but ruth was like nope, where ever you go i go, your God will be my God and your people will be my people. she had so much respect for this woman. and in doing so she met the man that would marry her-boaz. it's just so awesome to me, because what would of happened if she would of went home and never met boaz? would there be a david? would their be different books in the bible than there are now? it's just cool to me-because the what if's of life have always amazed me. like, i know that if i had never gone to church with shae that one night i would never be who i am today and wouldn't have the most awesome friends in the world. idk...i guess i'm kinda rambling...it just makes you realize that God does work in mysterious ways, and the decisions you make aren't just yours, but His too...
