He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making
everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are
trustworthy and true." (Revelation 21:5)
The LifeTote product above is made in
Cambodia from a reclaimed cement bag that was once tossed aside as no longer
useful. These cement bags can be seen everywhere throughout Cambodia. They pile
up in landfills and dump sites, pollute water sources and lay on the side of
streets. They are junk to almost everyone’s
eyes except to the innovative eyes that saw their potential, picked them up,
and turned them into this useful #LIFEgiving Tote.
The process of making the used cement bags
into a new tote is a labor of love, and step-by-step the new tote emerges. The bags are thoroughly cleaned, washed and
dried. They are then cut into the exact
pieces needed for each specific product.
With all of the unique pieces cut and ready, the skilled hands of the women
seamstresses begin to sew together the pieces of what will be a lovely new
tote. In similar fashion, as these Totes are being crafted, the women whose
hands are cleaning, washing, drying, cutting and sewing them together are
themselves being given a clean start, allowing them to piece together from
shattered remnants, a lovely new life filled with hope and fullness.
Our totes are a beautiful picture of what we
know to be true about a life fully restored by Christ. We believe that in Christ we are all transformed, just
like our totes. He walks us through the
process of restoration, cleansing and washing us. When we find Jesus, we get a
fresh start. Our old life is gone and we are made new (2 Corinthians 2:17). We are completely reclaimed and fully
restored.
With this new heart, we can embrace the call
to live a life of love (Ephesians 5:2) so that not only are we made new, but our
actions can bring newness to others so that they too can experience complete
restoration. LifeTotes works to see all
people living a life fully restored and made new.
