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.

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...

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...

Romans 12

There is SO much to learn about modesty from Romans 12. Paul has a lot of wisdom to pass onto us. At first you may not see it all, but let me show you just as my big sister did this morning.  We will be mostly looking at the first two verses, but first, go read the chapter, then come back and we'll have a look at it together. You're ready now? Okay let's go! Firstly, there are many commands as to how we should act in this chapter and I'm sure you saw those. They are easy to find and understand. So we will do them first. I have found 17 in this chapter. They are all about our outwardly modesty, behaviour and character. Don't be worldly- v.2 Be humble- v.3 Be united- v.4 Use your gifts- v.6-8 Love others- v.10 Don't Hate- v.10 Don't be lazy- v.11 Be hopeful- v.12 Be patient- v.12 Help others- v.13 Be hospitable- v.13 Don't seek revenge- v.14, 17-19 Be kind to your enemies- v.14, 20-21 Be empathetic- v.15 Live in harmony- v.16 Don...
