Gods Deffinition(Part 1); A Word From Sarah

I was reading a short article/ post by a young women named Sarah S. Wilson on her community named Modest Fashion on Google+ and I loved it. I didn't want to just rewrite since it was her experience and her words. So here's what she had to say.
"So in church this morning my pastor was preaching on modesty after he read the passage when Peter was "naked" and put on a coat before he jumped into the water to meet Jesus.

Today's definition of "naked" and the Bible's definition of "naked" are completely different, so let me explain. When the Bible speaks of a person being "naked", it means that a man or woman is showing their shoulders, chest (complete torso), and thighs/knees. Ladies, in all honesty, if we're showing our chest, shoulders, knees and thighs, we're being immodest according to the Bible."
There are ample examples in the bible for God's  design for modesty. All we have to do is open his word and do a little digging. God's design for us women is to respect him, men and ourselves enough to dress modestly. All we have to do now is find out what God's definition of modesty is! So, let's dive in and find out!

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?

Why I Enjoy Dressing Modestly

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

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.
