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.
