I really should be packing to leave tomorrow {eeeeek}
 but I just had to stop and share another Ruby miracle
 with you, our friends!

For real, this Ruby-girlfriend is astounding all who know her up close….

I tell Dw that I am the “Ruby-whisperer” since I am with her 24 hours a day and I can usually, by God’s grace, understand what she is trying to tell me through her sounds, moves or body language.

No doubt, Ruby is very aware of what is going on around her and she is, 
by God’s amazing power, going to show anyone who said, 
“She’ll never do anything” just how big the God of the Universe really is.

Since Ruby loves to meet people, if anyone, anywhere, at anytime pays any attention to her,
 I will quickly say,

“Would you like to meet Ruby?
She’s a miracle and she absolutely love meeting new friends.”

Everyone {so far} has stopped when I’ve said that and met Ruby.

I feel like it is our little family’s way of blessing the world by
Ruby’s sweet personality and beautiful smile.

Of course, as soon as they stop, I start signing with Ruby’s hand and explaining that we have a new friend to meet…and of course, this has happened many, many times, so she certainly is understanding the routine of it and now, each time she meets someone she squeals and wiggles and smiles from ear to ear.  

Clearly her way of saying, 


“I am so wiggly, giggly, tickled to meet you, my new friend.”

Well after explaining who the new friend is and telling them Ruby’s name, many will say, “Hi Ruby.”  If they don’t, I whisper, “Okay, now it’s your turn to say, ‘Hi Ruby’.”  And they follow suit.

As soon as Ruby hears their voice she kicks into her, very perfected
“Ruby-wiggles-giggles-squeals-smiling-from-ear-to-ear-position.”
And as many times as I’ve seen her do it, my heart just thrills.
Our Ruby-girl is such a treasure and God is certainly healing her through and through.

Well after the person says, “Hi Ruby”…..I always pick up her hand and wave saying, “Hi So-N-So”….

So the other day, I noticed as I was introducing her to a very kind lady in a store we were in
 that Ruby picked her hand up herself and waving her hand around said, “Hiiiiiii”….”Hiiiiii”.

I thought, “Wait a minute! You’ve never done that before!
I think you’re waving and saying “hi” on your own.”

Of course, I am a very enthusiastic Ruby-whisperer yet I don’t want to jump the gun and think that there is something there that isn’t.   If she’s done it once, she will surely do it again.

*Giggle*

Enter Artemis – Ruby’s dedicated and awesome physical therapist.

Today Artemis came for Ruby’s therapy and brought along her boss.  {He was such a kind-hearted man and he love, love, loved Ruby!  He actually asked if we would be willing to allow Ruby to be on a morning TV show here in Phoenix?  To which I replied, “As long as I can give all credit to the Lord for His healing work in Ruby’s life – we would love to!”  He smiled and responded, “Of course!”  Woot!  Woot!  He’s setting it up for May sometime.}

Anyway, while they were here, Artemis was explaining that Ruby uses sign to meet
 people, etc, and the whole meeting people thing…which I had done when she met him a few minutes earlier.

Ruby was laying intently listening to Artemis and I going back and forth the whole time about her meeting people and suddenly, out of the blue, Ruby

raised her hand and started waving it back and forth saying,

“Hiiiiii……Hiiiiiiii……Hiiiiiiiii…”

Artemis stopped instantly and said, “Look at her! Look at her!!”

I started squealing with delight…

Yes, indeed, our treasure-girl Miss Ruby Grace 
{who medical professionals said “would never do anything
but be propped in a corner”} 
is showing the world that God’s healing power
 is way bigger than any diagnosis because He is 
our 
Miracle-working, 
Mountain-moving, 
Awe-inspiring,
 Gasp-giving God….

She was, no doubt, following our conversation, knew doggone well what we were talking about and responded appropriately, interjecting her ‘hiiii’ while she waved!  How stinkin’ awesome
is that?


So from Miss Ruby, 
“Hiiiiiiiii….Hiiiiii…..Hiiiiiii….
So happy to meet you all.”
