Ruby’s been up to some crazy stuff these days.
Seriously.
We may just have to put on roller skates to keep up with it all.
I am committed to getting pictures to chronicle each accomplishment for the world to see.
I know many of you, sweet friends, pray regularly
for our Ruby and even more cheer her on from afar.
Every bit of Ruby’s life
is a miracle
and
you are part of it!
Thank you all so much!
We are overjoyed at how her healing progress
has begun to almost seem like it’s accelerating.
Today Ruby’s Occupational Therapist, Valarie came
for Ruby’s OT. Valarie brought a car modified for special treasures to see if it would be something that Ruby could
enjoy and benefit from.
Valarie had told me in the past about the car and I could
not wait for it to be Ruby’s turn to try it.
Not long after Ruby was done this morning
with OT Daddy called from Africa.
I started to cry as I was telling
Dw about the car…
I absolutely could not contain myself.
Watching Ruby was a monumental moment.
Ruby was doing just what every other
3-1/2 year old little girl loves to do –
drive a motorized little car.
I can hardly grasp the reality – faithful God.
Remember?
We were told by medical professionals…
She’ll never do anything.
Discard her.
Forget about her.
Don’t waste your time.
And clearly,
Almighty God’s voice boomed in response to their words,
“Oh really? Now watch this.”
Beautiful and amazing! Love to watch every new milestone for this sweet girl! Thank you so sharing it with the world, Linny!!
I only wish every one who knows of Ruby could meet her up close. SHe is a delight to all who have that privilege!
you got my eye faucets pouring out water over here!!!!! She is soooo normal Linny! You know how in Jewish weddings the crowd lifts the bride and groom up in their chair and bounces them across the room? Well thats how I see Gods people doing to Jesus when we get to heaven……honoring Him and celebrating what He has done for us. Ruby will be right there in the mix, thanking Jesus for COMPLETELY healing her while she was on earth.
I totally agree. And on a sidenote, many, many years ago Dw and I had the opportunity to attend a true Jewish wedding. It was amazing. I have a special love for God's chosen people and it was one of the highlights of my life – being in attendance. I loved watching all the traditions! And I believe all of heaven celebrates with each of Ruby's accomplishments!
I am lovin' Ruby and His miracles from afar!

Go Ruby! You better slow down girl or you are going to get a ticket! LOVE this Linny! What a miracle!
Haha!! We definitely don't need a ticket!
That is AWESOME!! I am so delighted every time she proves them wrong!!
So uplifting and amazing to see Ruby in that little car. What can I say other than Thank you God. What an amazing God we have. Thank him that he brought Ruby to a family that could help her and country that has the people with the expertise to become the best that she can be. Many countries wouldn't be able to provide the help that Ruby gets. Praise God for his forever faithfulness.
WHEEEEEEEEEEE!
I can not watch without tears rolling down my face!!! So thankful you allow us a view of this miracle!
I am in awe and I get to see her every day. She's an amazing tangible show of God's powerful love for the orphan!
So beautiful and fun! I love your hope and the faith you always show.
Go Ruby Go!!! And if you get pulled over, turn on that gorgeous smileβ¦.you'll never get a ticket π

Awesome! Love the squeals and her fan club following along. Praise Him!
Her fan club wouldn't have it any other way….the second they knew she was heading out to try the car, they ditched their school and ran for the door – they *adore* their baby sis!
You GO, Ruby-girl!!! I wish I had one of those things! π Ruby, you are a life-changer…and not just your own life, but everyone who watches, because we see GOD at work in YOU!! Love you, my little friend!!! Give your family hugs from the Johnsons for us!
Nancy & ShaoXi
Way to go Ruby !!!
Crying.
What. A. Joy.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am thrilled. If her driving wasn't awesome enough- all those sweet siblings walking along with her… That really did me in. My computer may be water damaged after all those tears of joy I just pouuurred over the keyboard! wow. Just wow. π praise Him!
I am so thankful for your comment. It made me well with tears…there are no words for all that God has done and continues to do through our precious little gem.
Linny, I am advocating for a set of twin girls in China, one of whom has hydrocephalus, and they are a bit younger than Ruby. May I share this post on KidsWait.org, linking back to your blog, of course? I think this would encourage families to consider BOTH of the little girls. They've been waiting a while now. ~Rose
Yes, yes, yes!! Anyway that Ruby's story can help please share it!! To God be the glory, great things HE has done….praying for the set to be freed for adoption!
A friend shared this post. I love it! My son is special needs and he's almost 3. His life is a miracle too and I know all too well about how amazing it is when accomplishments come along!
