The Little Black Dress Project

Ah, what a busy day! Nick, my husband, turns 23 tomorrow and I've been flying around like a crazy woman trying to get everything perfect. Nick hates his birthday,  and up until a few years ago his family had a long standing tradition of ruining it. 


But I LOVE his birthday!!! 


It's the day he was BORN!!! 


And it has been one of my greatest joys since we've been together to spoil him rotten every chance I get. (i.e. major holidays, anniversaries, BIRTHDAYS...)
He accepts this treatment because I make him.


And he's the best.


I'm sure everybody thinks that about the person they love, but it really really really is true about him. :D


Okay, I won't make you read anymore of that mushy stuff. Now I am going to talk about on topic subjects.


So today I get a text message from a dear friend of mine who was so pumped about the whole little black dress idea. She had heard of it too. I can't take credit for this. It has been done before. I read it in some magazine a few years back. However, I can't even remember which magazine BUT I am going to do some google searching and see if I can't find the article, or at least something about the girl who first tried this idea. (It worked great for her, btw). 


But yes, this friend of mine was very excited and wants to be involved in some way and when I got her message I just felt so incredibly blessed to have friends that have their hearts so bent towards Christ. She probably doesn't know it but her enthusiasm was very encouraging. 


Because this whole idea sounds a little strange, and all the while I'm wondering if I can really pull it off. 


But I know that this would not rest so heavily on my heart for no reason. And all of God's greatest ideas sounded really odd at first too, to the people He told them to. So I am taking comfort in knowing that I am in great company. 


Also, this was supposed to go with the photos on my first post, with the pictures of the children but I forgot to post it for some reason. It's just a little info our communicant wrote about the images.  


Disabilities orphanage

This orphanage is a home for disabled children. At the moment there are 126 children who are between the age of 5-18. Some of them are severely handicapped without the ability to move, speak, see and hear. Some children have minor problems but are living there because the parents are not able or willing to take care of them at home. The condition of the orphanage has improved over the years but there are still a lot of things which need to be done.

Yep, well that's about it for now. If you haven't seen the pictures, go check them out on my very first post. 

Keep Reading!
