Come, Follow Me Moms Podcast Ruth; 1 Samuel 1–7 From Empty to Full: God Works in the Waiting Hey mamas! Welcome back to Come, Follow Me Moms! This week we are studying the beautiful stories found in the book of Ruth and 1 Samuel 1–7. We meet three incredible women—Naomi, Ruth, and Hannah—and a little boy named Samuel. Each of them teaches us something powerful about faith, trust, courage, and waiting on the Lord. One theme kept standing out to me all week: God works in the waiting. Naomi waited through grief.Ruth waited through uncertainty.Hannah waited through years of unanswered prayers.Samuel waited to recognize God's voice.The wise virgins waited for the bridegroom. And yet God was working in every one of their stories. Isn't that what motherhood often feels like? Waiting. Praying. Hoping. Trusting. This week we talk about what it means to trust God when life doesn't look the way we expected and how He can take what feels empty and make it full again. In This Episode • Naomi's journey from fullness to emptiness—and how God wasn't finished with her story. • Ruth's incredible loyalty, faith, and willingness to follow God into the unknown. • Boaz as a symbol of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. • Why Ruth's story is one of redemption, covenant, and hope. • Hannah's years of waiting and what we can learn from her faithful prayers. • What it means to truly "pour out your soul before the Lord." • Samuel learning to hear God's voice and how we can recognize God's voice in our own lives. • Amy A. Wright's General Conference message Abide the Day in Christ and the Parable of the Ten Virgins. • How spiritual oil is gathered one small act of faith at a time. • The comforting message of the hymn Be Still, My Soul. Favorite Scriptures Discussed Ruth 1:16–17"Whither thou goest, I will go..." Ruth 1:20–21"I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me home again empty." Ruth 4:15"Thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons..." 1 Samuel 1Hannah pours out her soul before the Lord. 1 Samuel 3:10"Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth." Matthew 25The Parable of the Ten Virgins. A Message for Moms Maybe you're waiting for answers. Waiting for healing. Waiting for peace. Waiting for direction. Waiting for a relationship to improve. Waiting for a miracle. This week's scriptures remind us that God is often doing His greatest work while we wait. The same God who provided for Ruth. The same God who restored Naomi. The same God who heard Hannah's prayers. The same God who spoke to Samuel. Sees you. Your story isn't over. Keep gathering oil. Keep trusting. Keep praying. Keep abiding in Christ. One day you'll look back and see what Ruth, Naomi, Hannah, and Samuel eventually discovered: He was there the whole time. ❤️ Connect with Come, Follow Me Moms If this episode blessed you, would you take a minute to follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with another mama who could use a little encouragement this week?

Maybe it's sleep, peace, friendship, hope, or simply the energy to make it through another day. Maybe you're carrying grief, disappointment, or a burden nobody else knows about.

Episode 41: He Hath Borne Our Griefs & Carried Our Sorrows | Isaiah 50–57 + General Conference This week on Come, Follow Me Moms, we’re studying Isaiah and talking about some of my favorite messages from General Conference! Isaiah teaches us something every overwhelmed, exhausted, worried mama needs to hear: You were never meant to carry everything alone. Isaiah prophesied of Jesus Christ as “a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.” He didn't just come to save us from our sins—He came to bear our griefs and carry our sorrows. He understands the worry, loneliness, exhaustion, heartbreak, mom guilt, and seasons when life looks completely different than we thought it would. Pasted markdown Sometimes we pray for God to take the hard thing away, but instead He says, “I'm going to walk through it with you.” In this episode we talk about:

And moms, if there is one message I hope you take away from these chapters, it’s this: God knows you. God has not forgotten you. God will strengthen you. God will lead you. And when what you’re carrying feels too heavy—He will carry you. Isaiah begins with the word comfort, and these chapters are filled with reminders for anyone who feels tired, overwhelmed, afraid, lost, or unsure of what comes next. We talk about:
Come, Follow Me Moms | September 21–27 Isaiah 13–14; 22; 24–30; 35 “A Marvellous Work and a Wonder” What if the things that feel broken in your life aren’t actually finished? This week in Isaiah, we see warnings about pride, worldliness, and turning away from God—but we also see an incredible message of hope, healing, and restoration through Jesus Christ. Isaiah describes broken walls, barren ground, heavy burdens, wandering people, and things that seem beyond repair. But that isn’t where the story ends. He also describes the wilderness blooming, the blind seeing, the deaf hearing, sorrow disappearing, and God’s people being restored. In this episode, we’re talking about what all of that means for us as moms. We’ll dive into:
