Today some of our girls received an awesome gift--a priceless one! Thanks to Dana Ellis (Through His Light Photography) and the True Beauty Modeling program, six of our most active girls got to have a modeling experience today. They received a free makeover, professional photography session, catered lunch, and a "personal assistant" for the day. They felt so special! They were nervous at first, not knowing what to expect, but as the day wore on they became more excited. They looked in the mirror after the makeover and said, "I didn't know I could look this pretty." They got a much-needed boost to their self-esteem. All of the girls are as beautiful as can be, to me, and I tell them that, but this experience allowed them to see themselves in God's light a little more clearly. I am so grateful to Dana and her girls for all they did for us today--this is truly a priceless experience!
After they were finished modeling, I took them to the mall (one of our girls had never been to the mall) and we just strolled around, browsed, (showed off their new looks!), and enjoyed a freshly baked cookie. We were all tired at the end of the day, but it a wonderful experience we wouldn't trade for anything! Today I am grateful to God for the people He places in our lives, for the kids He allows me to minister to, for a supportive church family, and for the provision He continually pours out to allow us to do more and more. Thank you, God, for the opportunities which are new each day!
