It’s hard to believe that 100 days ago I was smack dab in the middle of wearing this dress and that it was Father’s Day. Feels like a dream or that it happened to someone else and not me. Do you ever feel that way? We hadn’t even tipped the $5,000 mark. And it was halfway through… yet praise the Lord here we are 100 days later and over $36,000 raised. Sure some days I don’t think we will make to to the $50K mark but then I remember and can be at peace. It never has been my project to begin with. It was/is God’s and he will do exactly what he wants. I don’t know what will happen in the next 100 days. Maybe nothing that I would normally consider exciting but one thing I do know. It will be exciting. Why? Because I am living it with the one I love, Jesus. And he has given me this incredible thing called life. And I don’t want to miss one moment of it.
In the last 150 days:
I wore the same dress for 100 days in a row…
I have blogged daily for 150 days
Approved almost 2,000 comments
We have raised over $36,000!!!!!
We have helped open 11 new orphan homes
We have fed children in need
Prayers prayed and blessing experienced…countless
Lives touched? Well I don’t think I’ll ever fully know till heaven but I do know mine was changed and I pray yours was too
I’m truly grateful for this opportunity and humbled that you would all join with me. Thank you. I can never say that enough.
You may or may not find a post on here tomorrow… 😉
I pray this isn’t the last UPDATE I put in a post: $36,257.56 😀 😀 😀
P.S. Thank you to my sweet cousin Ben for thinking of me and bringing this beautiful scarf back from his travels abroad.
You aren’t the only one praying Elaini, and this won’t be the last update.
I hope you find a rest in less blogging, who knows what God might say to you in that time of rest. However, I will still be looking on here faithfully everyday. 😉
God Bless you Elaini!
Thanks Grace! I really appreciate it. 😀
God bless you too!
Wow, Elaini! I’m proud of you! Just wanted you to know that I check here everyday! It’s fine if you take a break from blogging, but I just wanted you to know that people haven’t deserted you!
Thanks Rachel that really blesses me. 🙂
Hi, Miss Elaini!
This is my first time commenting, although I have been keeping up with your blog for awhile… hoping and praying that you meet your goal!
I was wondering if you would be willing to do some posts with hair tutorials. Your hair is so lovely, whether it’s down and flowy (like in this post) or in one of your pretty up-do’s. I have long hair, similar to yours, but I feel that I can’t get it to look as feminine as I would like.
Thank you for your inspirational posts, too! They are so thought-provoking, and encourage me to “hold every thought captive to the obedience of Christ”!

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to comment! Really appreciate your prayers.
Hmm I’ll have to think about the hair thing. It is hard to take pictures that explain how to do hair so maybe I can link sometime to my favorite tutorials. Frankly I’ve never thought I was great at hair but I’ve just started practicing and when I got to do hair for 2 different weddings I just went for it! Thanks for the suggestion and I will keep it in mind!
Blessings
