{Day 333}

January 23, 2013

Warning: This is a very miscellaneous post. Then again that’s okay since I’m Miss Elaini ous. 😉

I love numbers (but you already know this). For some reason I have taken an affinity to 3…and 7. I can’t explain it. So to have three threes in one post makes the child part of my heart really happy. Hey, I’m easily amused!

It’s been a while since I’ve done an outfit post so I thought it would be fun to try my creativity. I haven’t really bought any new things since I started the project back in May of 2011. Of course I have gotten some hand me downs but it sounds way better if you say re-gifted items right? 😉 Although my sweet friend gave me this amazing necklace from Towne & Reese as a Christmas gift and I like it so much. It instantly makes outfits better. I’d love to hear how you make shopping your closet more fun. Any good tips for me?

Many people choose to make goals at the beginning of January but most of them peter out by the end of the month. I didn’t make any resolutions in January but I did make some for February. I’m going to try and blog twice a week and I even made a schedule. This is something just short of miraculous since I’m not so great at planning. I’m excited to see how it all turns out and I hope you’ll enjoy it too.

Update on Hosanna: Well….his sister isn’t a match for a bone marrow transplant and if a sibling isn’t a match then they won’t do the transplant. But his count’s have been going up on their own which is very good! I’m still waiting to hear more info but in the meantime I continue to pray for our sweet boy. If you’re the praying type I’d love for you to join me in praying for him. (For those of you who don’t know, Hosanna is a 10 year old boy in India with Leukemia)

UPDATE! $71,090.14 😀 So what should the new goal be? Please let me know what you think in the comments below!

(Not to annoy you or anything but this post is also on the 23rd of this month and it’s 2013 which means that’s a whole lot of threes!)

I’m so glad you posted! I’ve been checking every day for an update on Hosanna and was excited (and a bit worried) when I saw that you had posted about him. I’m glad to hear he’s doing better and will continue to pray.
I think the new goal should be $80,000! However, God knows what India needs so we’ll just keep praying!

  Thank you for your continued prayers Evyn. I really appreciate it and this little guy definitely needs them!
  I think the goal of $80,000 sounds great! Do you think it will be intimidating to people though who only have a little to give? Or do you think they will still feel like their donation is making a difference (because it totally does)?

So happy to hear about Hosana’s counts going up! That necklace is gorgeous!

  I was happy to hear that too!
  Thank you. 🙂 My friends have good taste!

I want that necklace!!!! Super cute!
Praying for Hosanna 🙁
P.S. It looks like this is the 3rd comment… somehow I feel honored :).

  Haha I’ll let you borrow it sometime. 🙂
  Thanks Hannah. It really does help.
  YAY! I love that you pointed that out. xxx (3 hugs…) 😉

    Yay! I would “permanently borrow” it if you didn’t live so far away 😉

I’m glad to hear Hosanna is doing better.

You look beautiful as always. I need to find a statement necklace! If you don’t mind me asking, what color of lipstick are you wearing? 🙂

  Thank you Ashley. That’s very kind of you! I used to think I couldn’t pull off big necklaces but now I really like them. 🙂
  Oh I don’t mind at all but when I went to go look at the tube I realized it has no name and doesn’t even say what brand it is…Not to mention that the more I looked at it the more I began to wonder if it came in a child’s makeup or face painting kit! It’s really tiny and goes on very matte and you only have to apply one swipe. Sorry I can’t be of more help with that.

Can I just say you are SUPER CUTE? 🙂 Well you are.

Thank you for the pictures and the update on Hosanna.

You love numbers…specifically 7? I have just the thing for you. You’ll love it. Start at 2:20.

Thanks for Hosanna’s update. It’s wonderful to know that the God who wrote our precious scriptures, is also Hosanna’s creator!

P.S. If you enjoyed that video, look up Koinonia Institute. I first heard that message during one of my courses there.

  Well I really like both 3 and 7 but yeah. 🙂
  Okay. Woahh. Mind blown. That’s incredible. 😀 Thanks for sharing!
  
  Amen to that!

You are looking fine as fivepence in your photos. I love that combo of white and gray. Hooray for Hosanna! God is still working on his little body!

I vote for raising the goal to………. $100,000.

  Why thank you Leah! 🙂
  Yes, and we pray that God’s will would be done.
  Good suggestion! That’s what my dad said too!

Thanks for the update on Hosanna. I’ve been praying and have been curious. I hope he is able to get a transplant extremely soon. 🙁

  Thanks for praying…He can’t get a transplant because his sister isn’t an exact match. We need a miracle….
