I received this comment today from Sara:
We're girls, be happy with that! Embrace what God created you to be, a woman. To help you out in understanding this, think about something.
What would you do if you saw a horse walking around on it's hind legs all the time? And when you asked the owner, they told you that it was because the horse wanted to be human!
While this may seem a bit silly, this is the basic idea of dressing feminine. Why try to be something we're not?
I encourage you to decided if you personally, are being called to wear skirts. If not, that's fine! It's not for everyone. But if the clothes your wearing would look fine on a guy (father, brother, guy-friend), they're probably not very feminine. After I started wearing skirts, I realized that they CAN be a lot more modest than jeans. (I do own a pair of slacks by the way) Modest jeans are a lot harder to find than skirts. But skirts can also be im-modest.
It's funny (well not really...but you know!) ladies can get almost violent about the topic of modesty and skirts. I've read some ladies articles, and listened to some ladies speaking, and you can tell God's working on them. Yet they get angry, instead of listening to God's voice! Bitterness does not become thee! : )
Basic jist of this post? Be a girl! It's who God created you to be. That's why it's important to dress feminine!
I hope that answers your question Sara! And if anyone needs something explained to them more clearly, please don't hesitate to ask!

I LOVE how you dealt with this topic! It was so fantastic, it took the words out of my mouth. I have a hard time explaining things sometimes, but you absolutely nailed it! I love how you are not biased on the subject- it's GOD that has to tell you what is modest, not the other Christians of the world.Thanks!

What a great simple answer!
ReplyDeletegreat answer! thank for sharing! while I don't believe skirts are more modest than pants always I do believe that skirts help me to honor the Lord more in how I act. They can be more modest many times and they help with some clothing choices. :) (I do wear pants for horse backriding and a few other activities. :)) blessings!
