Sometimes we’re so focused on getting out of the middle that we forget to look for God in it.

We pray for the breakthrough, the healing, the next season, the answered prayer… and all of those things matter. But don’t become so consumed with what God will do next that you miss where He is right now.

The middle isn’t wasted. It’s often where God shapes our faith, heals what we hide, and reminds us that His presence is greater than our circumstances.

The point has always been Jesus.

I’m still overwhelmed by the love and support from the book signing. It was such a beautiful night, and I’m so grateful for everyone who has encouraged this journey. Thank you for believing in the vision.

If you haven’t picked up your copy of Steady: Healing the Mind, Anchoring the Soul, it’s still available on Amazon, and I’ve also included the link in my bio. My prayer is that these 35 days would help you anchor your soul in Christ and discover His presence, even in the middle.

Can’t believe it’s already been a week since In the Middle.

One thing we kept coming back to that night was this: grief was never meant to be carried alone. God meets us in our pain, but He also uses His people to bring comfort, perspective, and hope.

Real healing happens when we create space to be honest, care for our mental and emotional health, and keep pointing each other back to Christ. Community doesn’t erase the pain, but it reminds us we don’t have to walk through it alone.

What’s one takeaway from the night that’s still sitting with you?

A little look at the space before everyone arrived. 🤍

Every detail was thoughtfully prepared to create a warm, welcoming environment for our In the Middle: An Evening of Reflection & Book Signing.

With the support of my incredible team and close friends, we were able to create a beautiful DIY setup that truly reflected the heart behind the evening. A special thank you to Odeline for partnering with us on the stunning stage backdrop—it brought the vision to life so beautifully. And thank you to our amazing brother and longtime friend, Kervins, for capturing every detail and every moment so beautifully through his lens.

So grateful for everyone who helped make this vision a reality. More memories from the evening coming soon. 🤍

There comes a point in the journey where faith is no longer about knowing the way-it's about trusting the One who does.
Sometimes the most honest prayer we can pray is, "Lord, remind me of who You are." When the waters are uncertain, fear is loud, and we can't see the destination, His Spirit gently reminds us that because He is with us, we don't have to be afraid. The One who called us is faithful, and He will lead us all the way through.
If you're in a season that feels like "the middle," I pray this encourages you. Steady was written for moments just like these.
You can order your copy on Amazon-the link is in my bio.
And if you're local, I'd love to see you on July 10 at In the Middle:
Reflect & Reset. RSVP on Eventbrite-the link is also in my bio.

The middle is often where faith is tested the most. When the excitement of the beginning fades and the finish line isn’t in sight, remember that God is just as present in the process as He is in the promise.

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9

With everything that’s on our plate slowing down, can feel like just another task, added to the list of things to hopefully get done. With obligations, disappointments, victories and all that’s in between, it’s easy to keep going without ever taking the time to reflect.

Steady was written as an invitation to accomplish that.

This 35-day devotional will help you slow down, spend deliberate time with God, renew your mind and stay anchored in Christ regardless of what season you are traveling through.

No matter where you are in your season of development, waiting, transition, healing or just desire to go deeper in your faith, I pray these insights encourage you and pull you closer to Jesus. 🤍

📖 Steady: Healing the Mind, Anchoring the Soul is out now.

Thank you for your support if you have already purchased a copy. I would love to hear what has encouraged you the most so far! ✨ #devotional #Steady #ruthjinspires #faithandmentalhealth

It’s here! Yall It’s here! 🥹🙌🏾 And I pray this devotional book is an encouragement to each of you who dive into it. Maybe you’ve been carrying more than you’ve told anyone.

Maybe you’ve been doing your best to stay faithful while wondering how much longer you can keep going.

This is for the person in the middle.

The person trying to trust God when the path ahead isn’t clear.
The person learning to be still when life feels loud.
The person who needs a reminder that strength isn’t found in having all the answers—it’s found in staying anchored.

✨ STEADY: Healing the Mind, Anchoring the Soul is available now.

If this season has stretched you, challenged you, or called you deeper, I pray these pages encourage you.

📖 Available now on Amazon.
