Cinderella


Last night was the event of the year -- in my humble opinion.  The City Rescue Mission Fashion Show "Metamorphosis".
The women in the shelter have spent weeks working on self esteem and their walk with God and last night what has been happening in their hearts was put on display in a beautiful runway show. 
They were stunning.
Can you imagine the faith and bravery it takes to strut your stuff to an auditorium crammed with women you've never met?
Some of our women don't have teeth.  Some of them have bodies that have been abused. 
But our God is big.

Before
After
Before
After
Before (The woman on the left only has three teeth so she is very self conscience)
As much as the donated makeovers meant to these women (who have bravely left the streets for a new life in Jesus) the cheers, claps and wolf whistles from the women in the audience transformed their hearts. 
Those new and transforming sounds will be tucked into their broken hearts and they will know from last night forward
"For I know the plans I have for you , says the Lord,  plans to give you a hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11
