Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

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, is my head covered? Simple right? This is what we will do with every action. So, let's go onto the next.
Now, place your hands on your shoulders. Are they covered? And can you see your bra through the sleeve? For some can you see your armpit through your sleeve?
Bend down and put your hands on your knees. Are you knees covered? Can you see down your shirt or dress?

And finally toes. Touch your toes an ask yourself how far up does my skirt or dress go up the back of my legs? 
That's it! That's all I wanted to share with you today. I believe that's it's important to check ourselves before we leave the house. I for one, tend to forget my tights or headscarf. This is a simple, fast and easy way to make sure you're already to go. I hope this has proven helpful to you.

    This is a cute idea and I love he way you presented it without making it legalistic. It is so important to understand the boundaries of what we wear. I like this a lot thanks for sharing.

How Are We Supposed To Act Around Boys?

As young Christian woman living in a sinful world there are expectations of how we are to act around males. They vary from age, gender, culture and religious beliefs. There is no rule book that tells us how we are to act around men and often we will be told different things be different people. There are only little things in the Bible such as that we are to respect and submit to men. We are to serve them and be their helpers. We have already discussed this in a past post ( Men Vs. Women ). But, there are many questions that are still left unanswered. "Can we talk to them?" "Hug or handshake?" "Can girls even be friends with guys?" I was thinking about this the other day after a dinner with a team from the states and here was a guy my age. I was reflecting on my action, my words and I thought I had done pretty well considering I am a natural flirt ( Not and good thing and not to be proud of !). But, then I thought "What am I supposed to be measuri...

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....
