My Modesty Mission

Hello,
This is my modesty mission. My modesty mission is my journey to become a modest woman of God and I'm letting you tag along for the journey. I hope you can learn something too! :)

So, what is modesty? What does it mean to be modest? Here are a few definitions from a dictionary;
Modest (Adjective)
-Having or showing a moderate or humble estimate of one's merits, importance, etc.; free from vanity, egotism, boastfulness, or great pretensions.

So, Then what does the bible say? Well it doesn't say modesty is.... But it does give us some hints. So here are some verses that might help us decide what modesty is. P.S. I use New Kings James. 
1 Peter 3:3-4
3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward; arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel, 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
 1 Timothy 2:9-10 9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

 Modesty starts within. It begins in the heart with a deep respect for yourself, who God made you to be, your femininity and you sexuality. Once you can respect yourself modesty will flow from within you and overflow to what you wear, what you say, the music you listen to and even how you spend your time. Modesty and class are a lost art, but there are still woman all over the world who are bringing it back.

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.
