Ruby
Retreaters!
Sometimes I get mad...saying, "Why did you create
me where my body can stretch this big?" And
then, it takes effect. It's like faith kicks in, "You
can do this. Ruby you can do this. You have to do
this. It's your life.” I believe there's a purpose. I
know that everyone was born for a purpose.
Faith Heart Magazine: I want to personally
congratulate you on motivating others to face
difficult challenges and setbacks. Being a woman
of incredible faith, how has your personal
relationship with God played an instrumental role
in transforming your life and the lives of others?
Ruby Gettinger:
God is my everything, and that’s why I will never
give up on me or anyone. If it wasn't for God, if it
wasn't for my faith in God, I don't think I could
have survived this. I love Him; He makes me feel
like I can do anything. My belief in God makes me
stronger, and I believe that anything is
possible...and knowing this gives me strength to go
that extra mile. It gives me strength to walk into
that place because God is with me. My passion
makes me believe for others, and I want them to
cross the finish line with me. I believe in each of
them.

"I BELIEVE EVEN AFTER ALL
MY MILLIONS OF
SETBACKS, I CAN DO THIS
AND I WILL!!!"
Faith Heart Magazine: Why do you
believe so many people find comfort in
your words, “personal journey to selfdiscovery and transformation?”
Ruby Gettinger:
I can only tell you what people have said
to me. I tell my truth, the good, bad and
ugly. I put it all on the table. I have
setbacks just like them, but I do not give
up and want them to fight with me. I
honestly believe we can beat this the right
way. People say, “body, mind, soul,” I
say, "soul, mind, body” I believe once we
turn to God and find out what we are truly
feeding, drugging, drinking, etc. and
connect the spiritual and mind, the
physical will follow.
