Submitting to Men Means...

I believe that God made men and women equal but with different roles and purposes. And I think that our world has strayed so far from this perfect design God had for men and women in the garden of Eden. I was thinking about this today as I did my laundry. I have another most addressing this issue in more depth titled Men Vs. Women. I am also very passionate about this subject so I wanted to tell you what I believe it does and doesn't mean (to me) when I chose to submit to men.
When I submit to men it does not mean I'm weak.
When I submit to men it does not mean I'm important.
When I submit to men it does not mean I'm not valued.
When I submit to men it does not mean I'm uneducated.
When I submit to men it does not mean I'm incapable.
When I submit to men it does not mean I'm oppressed.
When I submit to men it does not mean I'm used.
When I submit to men it does not mean I'm abused.
When I submit to men it does not mean I'm forced to.
When I submit to men it does not mean I'm in a box.
When I submit to men it does not mean I'm being restricted.
 When I submit to men it means I'm submitting to God.
When I submit to men it means I'm obeying God.
When I submit to men it means I'm respecting God's will.
When I submit to men it means I'm respecting God's design.
When I submit to men it means I'm respecting men.
When I submit to men it means I'm supporting men.
When I submit to men it means I value my design.
When I submit to men it means I value my femineity.
When I submit to men it means I value their masculinity.
When I submit to men it means I value my role.
When I submit to men it means I value men's design.
When I submit to men it means I value men's role.
When I submit to men it means I have a purpose
When I submit to men it means I have decided to.
These are some of the things that I stand for and think about when I submit to men. Submitting is a personal choice and is not something that should just be done because "oh, that's what everyone does." It should come from a desire to respect and honour both God and men. It should come with a intentional decision. So now tell me what submission does mean or not mean to you? Thank you so much for reading and I'll talk to you again soon!

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

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.

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
