So I’m making somewhat of a radical decision here. I’m not buying any kind of clothes for a year. Shoes included. I am such an self-conscious person. Always feel like I have to look pretty to be loved. Always feel like I have to be “put together” for people. This all translated into my constantly buying things. Often on impulse, or they would be completely frivolous things that satisfied me in the moment but would just sit in my closet. When I was in Haiti I realized how much I actually have. So much. Too much. The kids in Haiti had almost nothing. Some were running around naked, or what they were clothed with was tattered and didn’t fit. But these kids were all absolutely beautiful. Their smile alone was more beautiful than anything I own. So it’s time to let my smile, the joy I have in Christ, my thankfulness for everything in my life, it’s time to let all of that shine. It’s time to let that define me. Not my clothing. I have everything I need, and so much more.
