Hello

Hello,
My name is Darcy-Rea. I am 16 years old. I am Canadian Australian and I live in Cambodia. I have been living here for over a year now and I love it here. Where is Cambodia? It is sandwiched between Thailand and Vietnam with Laos to the north.
Why are we here? We came with a mission organisation called TransformAsia so parents could teach English to their boarders. But now we are with a different organisation called Bright Start (It's common to switch organisations after a while.)We have a learning centre at our house where my mother and I teach English to unprivileged children. But we do much more than that. My mother teaches the bible at a dental clinic. Both my parents teach English at a hospital to the staff. I work with another expat to make homemade paper to help raise money for the patients. My brother goes into the wards to play games with the patients and care givers. My father does evangelical work while giving out free sugar cane juice. And my mother, sister and I lead a girls bible study for 11 girls from an orphanage.

A little bit more about myself? I am in grade 11 at the moment. I do distance education which means I do school at home but I join a class over the internet. It's fun. I enjoy a lot of things; Cooking, Photography, Crafts, Dancing, Writing, Reading, Teaching, Traveling, just to name a few. I love Children and teaching, so in November I will start towards getting my International TESOL Diploma so that I can officially teach English as a second language. I also have another blog called My Life By a Snapshot. There I talk about a lot of different things. I talk about being a missionary. I tell stories and sometimes I just rant about things.

Thank you coming! I hope you enjoy everything here on my blog and find it helpful and encouraging. Feel free to contact me at mylifebyasnapshot@gmail.com
See you around.
Darcy-Rea

As I've said before, I love Pinterest! It's great for gathering and storing ideas and inspiration. I gather so many different photos from Modesty ideas to backgrounds for my phone. I think I may have too many boards! Well, I have a few that I would like to share with you today. Just click on a heading to be brought to the board and don't worry, it'll open in a new tab. Modest Fashion Here is where I collect lots of photos of beautiful dresses and skirts. It gives me plenty of ideas and inspiration for my own dressing. This would be a great place to look if you want to buy new dresses or skirts too. Sometimes I wish I could just have all these beautiful clothes. But who would need that many? As I'm writing this there are over 200 photos on this board! Here are a few of my favourite photos from it.        Head Covering Tutorials There aren't very many pins in this one. Just twelve at the moment. But for a beginner like me these can be very hel

Why I Enjoy Dressing Modestly

Image
Hello, Since I have started intentionally dressing modestly I have found that I really enjoy the way I am dressing now. I love it! Why? Let me explain... Firstly, I have NO regrets anymore. I looked at a photo of myself from about two years ago. I was playing baseball. I was wearing a singlet/ tank top and shorts. I regret that choice now. And at that time I made many bad choices with my clothes. And at the time I knew  that there was a risk that I would get caught rolling up my shorts a few extra times or pulling my shirt down a little further. But I have no regrets with the way I dress now. I no longer have to be so careful of my movements. I don't have to watch myself when I lean over or bend down because I know that what I am wearing covers me appropriately and there is little risk that my chest, too much of my legs or my stomach show. Now, wearing skirts I do have to be weary when I ride my bike or run to make sure that it does not ride up mu legs to go up with the win

Where (NOT) to Draw the Line for Purity

Image
My lovely older sister, Jordy , is a fantastic roll model to me and also a wonderful writer. She has taught me a lot over the years and I can always rely on her in times of need. She is 17 years old and almost finished high-school. She is in the process of writing and editing her first books! She also has a blog of her own and today's post is written by her. It's all about purity and where we are to (not) draw the line.
