Today was a monumental moment. Our first design was created. We spent the afternoon examining the first prom gown that was made. Mr. Hi, our master seamstress in Phnom Penh, and his staff crafted the dress. It was a beautiful tangerine satin w/ a keyhole front and beaded halter neckline. What a sight! We were all amazed to see Nicole's design come to life. It was a dream come true on many levels.
You may not know this about Nicole. Some of us spent our childhood with nurses caps on, some spent the days playing with fire trucks or Barbie's. I spent mine on the landing of the stairs checking out customers scanning them across the nightlight. With every purchase the light lit up. If I could only be a cashier some day. Nicole spent hers drawing bridal gowns. Dressing up girls in formal dresses that would turn the heads of friends, Ken dolls and families. As she grew into adulthood she realized this was just a childish dream. Or was it? Maybe it was a desire God had placed in her heart. As she really grew up she knew it was more than a fantasy. It was a calling.
Nicole and I came together a few months ago and began dreaming about what could happen if her designs and my hope to have a missional business could come together. A vision was placed into our hearts to use our hopes to transform the world, one girl at a time. This week we have seen that anything is possible. As the Daughters line continues to be created we hope it will benefit all the girls around the world. The ones in Cambodia that desperately need saved from poverty and the ones in the US that think the desires of their heart aren't real. To all of them, please let this be a testimony that He who gives us dreams will also help us realize them.
