Ive not posted in a while so I'm well over due. A lot has been going on around here. We've finished up all the schooling that needs to be submitted to our cover-school admin. Just haven't mailed it off yet. (Makes mental note to do that) We are excited about summer and the slower pace and freedom that it brings.What would summer be if you did not kick it off by the pool. We did just that last week. It was so refreshing to just veg by the pool all day. No deadlines or schedules to make or complete. Just literally took the day off.

That my dear friends and followers, brings me to my next conclusion. There is very little modesty left in today's society. Ill be first to admit that back in my youth, I wasn't modest either. Thinking back to some of the things I wore out of my house back in the day is disturbing. I was a bit naive, not really understanding that my attire would cause some godfearing men to lust in a moment of weakness. However, Im was not so naive as to knowing my objective in wearing such attire. I knew full well it would draw attention and I wanted it. How ashamed I am of my sin and actions. How blessed I am that God convicted me of my sin and changed my heart. Thank you Jesus!!
Sitting at my computer tonight looking through some of my daughters facebook friends walls, I'm disturbed! I find that many young girls are posing in thier skimpy bikini's and placing them in public photo albums for all to see. I just wonder where the parents are, or what they are thinking??? What I did in my youth, Im quite ashamed of but my parents never told me "you cant leave the house in that" We as parents need to step up to the plate and inform our children about the consequence of these actions and photos. Its our job to protect and inform them. We have the God given right to forbid such actions as well. I know we all have different convictions and rules but, I personally would never allow this in my home. Does anyone agree or disagree? How do some of you young ladies feel about this topic?
Blessing,
Stephanie
Preach it, Sister!!!

You are so sweet dez. Momma loves you more!!! Oh, on another note. I was not referring to your blogger friends in the post above. Most all of them seem to be quite modest. You see the lack of modesty in more secular society's.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments. Im just in astonishment at some of the things parents allow their children to do these days.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, even though I do disagree with strict "modesty" rules, I'm not about to start an arguement here. Why? Because it's YOUR family, YOUR children, YOUR beliefs, and YOUR conscience. I'm not about to tell you have to live your life when it comes to something like this that isn't a Heaven/Hell issue. Just keep being a good mama, a loving wife, and a committed Christian woman. You'll do fine. =)
ReplyDeleteRachel, Thanks for the comments. I respect your opinion and can appreciate you not wanting to start an argument. That was not my intent at all either. I was just looking for younger ladies opinions on the issues. By the use of your term "strict" modesty, I gather you agree with some of my convictions. Thanks for the encouragement on being a good momma an such. Ill do my best. I pray you can be a source of encouragement and a mentor to the young ladies following your blog as well. I know my daughter frequents your blog and happens to LOVE it.
