Modesty Mission

We all know the Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes song right? If not, you may want to hear it before continuing. So, here's a link for you to hear it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m-1YKx-9uc Okay, now that we're all on the same page you're probably wondering why we're talking about this children's nursery rhyme. Well, believe it or not we can use this simple song to check that the way we are dressed it modest before we leave the house. Before I go any further I need to mention that this was not my original idea. I watched a video a while back where a girl presented this idea. However, I couldn't find the video again. If one you guys find it send me the link in the comments bellow. Also, this has been slightly changed from the original to fit my beliefs and convictions. You can do the same to make this your own. So, go ahead and stand up as we go through this. Firstly, touch your head. When you touch your head is your stomach showing? And for me...

I am a Pinterest kind of girl and the other day as I was scrolling through Pinterest when I saw this photo... This made me stop and think for a minute. It made me think because, to be honest, I was waiting for my prince. And I'm sure I'm not alone in that. But God created us beautifully and fully capable of living and thriving without a man in our lives. Sure it would be lovely to have a partner in crime but God has a plan for you and I in the mean time. Now you may be thinking this sounds a little like 'Feminism' but it is definitely not! Let's have a look at this deeper shall we? What is feminism and a feminist? On a base level... 'So, a feminist is a person who fights for gender equality?' Yep. 'So then what's so bad about it then?' Okay let me explain myself a little here. I believe that God created men and women equally but with different roles and men the dominant, stronger gender. Read more here if you want to...

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.

I was talking with my cousin the other day over a hot cup of coffee. We were discussing marriage, what makes a marriage work and how to be a good wife. What characteristics are found in a good, strong, God honouring marriage? Kids, teens have dream jobs. They look forward to be a teacher, scientist, cook or dancer. They dream and plan. They prepare themselves and practise. My sister wants to be an author. She is already practising and doing research. She is finding out what makes a good author and a good book. But I dream of the day I will be a wife and mother. I get funny looks when people ask me what I want to be and I answer a wife and mother. So I usually just say a teacher or nanny. And I really do want to be a teacher or nanny. But above all, my end goal, my final destination, my biggest dream is to be a good wife and mother. I look forward to the day when I am called a wife and I call him my husband. It makes me happy just thinking about it! So, after talking to my cousi...

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....
