12 days to go- and an email blast went out to many of you to introduce the blog! So…the pressure is on to write something intriguing and fun.
Today’s blog topic…fashion! Not that I am some fashionista…but I will share with you the fun inside scoop on my upcoming fashion trends. The weather in Haiti, which if you don’t know is HOT, 100+ degrees daily! So, the weather here in MN today is a taste of what is to come. Many of you know, I am not a sporty kind of girl. I like my classic preppy look- but with that look in Haiti I would suffer from unbreatheable cotton…so instead- you will find me in sleeveless sport tanks (the dry, breathable kind)…so not my thing, but I hear I’ll be thankful for them! Shorts- I like them and love khakis, however the khakis I like aren’t the khakis that are breathable either…so sporty Bermuda shorts are in order! Sandals- no flip flops instead- sporty, heel strapped, covered toe sandals are in order. Sunglasses for the sun…NOPE, no sunglasses are allowed L, the gang members in Haiti where sunglasses. A brimmed hat, nope, not allowed either- but a bandana is…can you see me in a bandana? Yes, I will sport a bandana…I just have to figure out where to buy one, and how to wear one. Anyone want to give me a tutorial? Out of all seriousness, I will be so out of my comfort zone, but really…fashion and clothing are the least of my concerns! I am so thankful that I have the means and ability to purchase the things I “need” for the trip. Can you imagine your everyday life not having the possibility of getting these things? I will soon encounter this- my eyes will be opened, my heart broken. I do not take this lightly, all the wonderful fashion and clothing items being bought and used, will be gratefully gifted to the Haitian people I will be meeting and serving. The Lord is great!
In closing today, here is the verse I selected: 2 Corinthians 9:8 “And God is able to make all grace overflow to you so that because you have enough of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow in every good work. The Blessing of Giving”
Father, God, thank you for the gift and upcoming experience to truly encounter the blessing of giving to the least of these.
Blessings~ Phuong
I can give you a tutorial on how to wear/tie a bandana!
