3. One day
you’re going to tell a
story about this
season in life.

4. Hopefully, you’ll tell
a story that you’re
proud to tell. Some
won’t.

5. THE DECISIONS WE
MAKE TODAY DETERMINE
THE STORIES WE’LL
TELL TOMORROW.

6. SOMETIMES
THE BEST DECISION
YOU CAN MAKE IS
TO STAY WHEN IT
WOULD BE EASIER
TO GO.

7. How do we
live the story
we want to
tell?

8. Hebrews 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on
Jesus, the author and
perfecter of our faith…

9. I DECIDED
TO:

10. STAY
whatever
happens
Sometimes it’s the right thing to quit.

11. Ruth 1:15-16
15 "Look," said Naomi, "your
sister-in-law is going back to
her people and her gods. Go
back with her."

12. Ruth 1:15-16
16 But Ruth replied, "Don't
urge me to leave you or to
turn back from you. Where
you go I will go, and where
you stay I will stay. Your
people will be my people
and your God my God.

13. Ruth went to work in the
fields—She was lower
than a slave.

14. Boaz—treated her with
kindness and protected
her. Why?

15. Ruth 2:11-12
11 Boaz replied, "I've been
told all about what you have
done for your mother-in-law
since the death of your
husband —

16. Ruth 2:11-12
How you left your father
and mother and your
homeland and came to live
with a people you did not
know before. 12 May the
Lord repay you for what you
have done..."

17. WHAT
DOES GOD
WANT YOU
TO WANT?

18. WHERE
DOES GOD
WANT YOU
TO STAY?

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

20. 1 Corinthians 15:58
58 Therefore, my dear
brothers, stand firm.
Let nothing move you. Always
give yourselves fully to the
work of the Lord, because you
know that your labor in the
Lord is not in vain.

21. 2 Thessalonians 3:13
13 And as for you, brothers,
never tire of doing what is
right.

22. Hebrews 12:2-3
2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
the author and perfecter of
our faith, who for the joy set
before him endured the
cross, scorning its shame, and
sat down at the right hand of
the throne of God.

23. 2 Chronicles 15:2-7
The Lord is with you when
you are with him. If you seek
him, he will be found by you,
but if you forsake him, he
will forsake you. 3 For a long
time Israel was without the
true God, without a priest to
teach and without the law.

24. 2 Chronicles 15:2-7
4 But in their distress they
turned to the Lord, the God
of Israel, and sought him,
and he was found by them. 5
In those days it was not safe
to travel about, for all the
inhabitants of the lands were
in great turmoil.

25. 2 Chronicles 15:2-7
6 One nation was being
crushed by another and one
city by another, because God
was troubling them with
every kind of distress. 7 But
as for you, be strong and do
not give up, for your work
will be rewarded."
