Don't Hope for the Easy Life!

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.  (Psalm 34:19)

In today’s world, it’s hard to find anything that doesn’t speak to making life easier, relaxation, free time, or doing what you want.  We’re told to put money away for retirement, so that we can have tens of years of free time to our leisure.  Technology is always for the next big thing of making things easier or doing our job for us.  Our entire world seems to be focused towards having a happy, easy life of doing exactly as we please.

Don’t get me wrong, I also wish life could be simple, easy.  If money only grew on trees.  If that certain person would just be nice.  If I didn’t have to do…  If I didn’t have to feel…  If only I…

My Personal Style of Modesty

 

We are finally to the last post of the series on modesty.  Sorry it’s so late; it’s been a crazy couple of weeks here.  This post has literally sat open on my desktop for about two weeks.  Over the past month or so, we have looked at the heart of the issue of modesty: what exactly is modesty, our motivation, our love of our God and others, our self-control, and how the world has corrupted modesty.

As promised, today I wanted to spend just a few minutes on what specifically I felt modesty looks like when I dress myself.  These are my “rules” for myself as of right now, where I feel called to be at this particular time.  Your ideals of modesty might be less or more than mine.  We are all in different areas of where God calls us to be.  My hope in writing this is for you to see how my heart shows through the decisions that I make.  I want you to be inspired to do what you feel God is calling you to do in dressing modestly.
