“Strength and honor are her clothing; She will rejoice in time to come.” ~Proverbs 31:25

My thoughts and reflections on this Bible passage will be this: Lately, I’ve been thinking about what the true meaning of modesty really was, and so, this is the Bible verse that came to my mind and that’s what stuck out to me the most.  My prayer for the young women in this world will be this; I always pray that these young women will cover themselves and their bodies completely up and to just be modest.  They need to make their bodies a very pure and honorable place for The Lord to reside in them.  Call me old-fashioned, but I like the styles that all the women wore back in the 1950’s.  To me, that was a very conservative, classy, and glamorous look.  I mean, I’m convinced that I was born in the wrong time period, because like I’ve said before, I absolutely love the styles that all of the women wore back in those days.  I wish those looks would come back and actually be in style these days, but sadly that’s not the case.  I see all of these young women walking around in certain “scantily clad” looks and it really bothers me.  I feel like running up to them all, and wanting to teach them how to dress their bodies in a much better way than they were previously dressed.  You don’t have to be showing off all the “goods” to be sexy.  I’m not here to be all judgemental and whatnot because that’s God’s job, not mine; I’m just sharing with you all what’s been bothering me a lot lately.  I’m all for expressing yourself through what you wear, but not in an aggressive way, know what I mean? I’m just as guilty as the next one, because I didn’t always dress the way that I do now.  I used to just put myself out there in a real aggressive way, to seek any attention that I could possibly get, and it did not end well, I can assure you of that at a hundred and ten percent.  Ask anybody that knew me then and even now, they will have no problem telling you exactly like it is.  I’m not innocent here.  I’m not perfect either, I’m far from it, that’s for darn sure.

With Love and In Christ,
