Restored Woman

Hello my dear sisters and brothers in Christ, my name is Ruby and I am a woman restored by Christ living for God's glory. I got saved in 1998, rededicated my life to God and got baptized in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues in August 2015, and baptized by immersion in water in December 2015. How wonderful is it to have a God that gives us grace even though we do not deserve it, forgives and forgets our sins after we confess, and restores us? That is my God, who sent His only Son to this world to die for me and you, so that we may live a full life. Prior to rededicating my life, my relationship with God was a roller coaster; but because God is faithful (1 Thessalonians 5:24) and loves us dearly, He led me right back to Him because he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake (Psalm 23:3). I love the Lord and I do my best through the power of the Holy Spirit to give God glory in all I do for the rest of my life because it says in the Word that So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).

God has given me peace and joy, and my relationship with God is the most relevant; as the Word says, But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33). I am a Sierra Leone-born American. I love my family and friends. I am a conservative; my morals and values as a Christian woman mean a lot to me. I know my worth in Christ Jesus and it brings me joy knowing Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her! (Luke 1:45). I have promised God to honor Him in my thoughts, actions, and body because God has told me Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life (Isaiah 43:4). Previously, I served as a youth (teens) ministry leader at my church in Maryland before moving to Nevada for work.  I am a mining engineer, working at the U.S. Forest Service. I received my mining degree from Virginia Tech along with a minor in women's studies leadership. Go Hokies! I am an advocate for mentoring the youth, girls/women in STEM, autism awareness, and a sustainable future for the mining industry. I am the Founder/CEO of When You Believe Foundation, Inc. I served as Miss Sierra Leone USA (2012-2014) and Miss Earth Maryland (2015), and currently Miss Elko USA - finalist for Miss Nevada USA 2018 pageant.

The purpose of this blog is to glorify God and I pray it blesses you in whichever way the Lord chooses.  Contact me on Facebook and Twitter/Instagram @Ruby_B_Johnson if you will like me to pray for/with you, have questions, or have blog post suggestions/contributions. May the Lord bless you and be gracious to you.


Restored woman living for God's Glory,
Ruby B. Johnson.
