Ruby Tuesday

Hi! I'm Ruby. I don't know if I've properly introduced myself. I am going to be 1 year old in less than a week.Today would've been my birthday, but I decided to wait a few extra days before making my big entrance:)

This time one year ago, my Mama & Papa were not only so excited to meet me, but they were super excited to find out if I was a boy or a girl. A lot of people had them convinced I was a little guy...in fact, they didn't even have a name picked out for me until a couple hours after I was born.

You see, my Papa had a dream a couple months before I was born that he had a daughter and her name was RUBY. It was pretty special, so that was how my name made it to the list originally.

My Mama's due date had me scheduled for a June arrival, but I had other plans. I thought a birthday in July sounded much more exciting. And guess what the birthstone for July is...a RUBY!!

It just so happened that I had a Great-Aunt named RUBY as well, so my parents got to keep it in the family.

WIN. WIN. WIN.

My parents dedicated me to the LORD under this verse:

"O storm-battered city, troubled and desolate! I will rebuild you with precious jewels and make your foundations from lapis lazuli. I will make your towers of sparkling rubies, your gates of shining gems, and your walls of precious stones." Isaiah 54:11&12

Well, that's a little bit about my little self. I think I may hijack my Mama's blog again sometime;) Bye Bye!!
