“Encouragement to the Heart”
This Messy Thing Called Life has been such an encouragement to my heart! Rue is a wonderful light for Christ and her words are powerful. They are an overflow of her heart and led by the Holy Spirit! I am so blessed to have found this blog and look forward to every post. If you ever need encouragement…you’ve found the right place.

“Source of Light”
Rue’s writing has made a lasting impact on me because of her ability to craft words that encourage me to delve deeper into the Scriptures. She has thought-provoking insights, as well as reassuring tidbits to keep me motivated in my Christian walk. I love the way she uses her incredible writing ability as a source of light in a dark world.

“Rue Shows the Brokenness, Breaks Your Heart, Then Puts it Together in a Better, Beautiful Way”
I love reading Rue’s work. She writes with an elegance expressing the sort of truth you can’t find in many places, and with a kind of rawness you can’t find either. She writes and shows the brokenness, breaks your heart, and then puts it back together in a better, beautiful way.
