Quite honestly, tonight I was rather bored and desperate for some blogs to read (now that I'm addicted and all)...it's been hard finding ones that I enjoy reading or relate with (and that update enough so that I always have something to read :P) but, once again, I searched for something that grabbed my attention. Through a round about way I found http://misselainious.com and immediately was intrigued. The caption is "1 dress. 100 days. for orphans". Well, I think many of you know that God is growing me a heart for orphans, and as I looked deeper I found that Elaini has an incredible faith. Her blog posts are so eloquently written and are laced with so much truth and amazing reminders about our awesome God.
That's not the coolest part. What she did was took a simple black dress and wore it for 100 days straight (washing it of course) and accessorizing it in 100 different stylish ways to raise money for orphans in India. Well she completed her 100 days, and now she just puts together cute outfits. She is currently doing the "12 days of Christmas", having her friends model in beautiful dresses that fit each day. She has raised a total of $42,044.90. (goal=$50,000)
I'm so inspired by her story, her dreams, her blogs, her faith...by her! and the work God is doing through her.
It makes me think...can I have dreams as big as Elaini with the courage to try and make a difference in this world. What does God have in store for me?
I can be doing better then this.
So check out her website. I love it and hope you will too :)
