TOMS for Haiti

These are TOMS shoes. I think. They're my brother's shoes, and he wears TOMS, so those are probably TOMS. In case you didn't know, TOMS are awesome because for every pair you buy, they give away a pair to a child who needs them, across the world and in poor U.S. communities.

My brother got me a pair of TOMS for Christmas- the red ones, which, he says, are the most popular right now. But I can't wear those cool red TOMS until I get them in a different size. So they will be on order pretty soon.

That was kind of a bummer for my feet, until I realized that the timing just might be perfect. Who could use shoes more now than the kids who just lost everything in Haiti?

I've been wishing I could go to Haiti, or at least donate enough money to really restore even one person's life to them- food, clothes, housing. But maybe my TOMS will make a small difference now that they're coming a little later than intended. Maybe the sister pair of my red TOMS will end up on the feet of some little girl in Haiti.

Wouldn't that be amazing?

SO amazing! Isn't God good?! How did you get that picture? :) Thanks for blogging; I keep thinking I'd really like to get back into it, but.. I don't know - will I keep up? These women who write every day are incredible. Your thoughts are so inspiring. <3 *muah*

He IS good! :)
I took the picture in Itasca while Matthew and I were waiting for you guys to get down from the fire tower. :)
I certainly don't blog every day. Notice, the last time I blogged was December 5!
