I have always loved blogging, and for the first time, I have been inspired to write a Fashion Blog. Every week, I will try to upload an outfit of the week. Not only is this for me to be creative, but also to connect to other women and girls out there who are exemplifying the image that God wants his daughters to present themselves as in this world.
For a little background, I grew up in the Apostolic Pentecostal church, but had begun to shy away from the church when my parents divorced and I was stripped of everything I had ever been taught. When a young girl is thirteen and doesn't know who she is or quite what it is that she believes, it's a rough time for your parents to divorce. However, God had his hand on my life and it wasn't until the past few years that I came to understand who it is that I am in Christ.
My mother never gave me a lesson on modesty. I didn't understand a lot of things as, but it was by the Holy Spirit and a lot of guidance that I came to my own personal beliefs. I know this is a lot to take in, but bear with me. After looking at the scripture, the world around me, and myself, I have never felt so confident in the way that I dress. Now that I am in college, I dress the way that I do because of personal beliefs. While many other girls don't comprehend my own beliefs, I have earned a lot of respect. Also, guys admire modesty, whether we realize it or not. As a little girl, I thought it was a religious affiliation, but today, I am living in confidence to be the woman that God has always desired me to be. My modest apparel is not for anyone, but for the sake that I am desiring to live a life of holiness, in true Christ likeness.
Through this blog, I hope to answer any questions and reveal that you can be both stylish and modest! It wasn't until two months into college that girls asked me about the way I dress, because they thought my style was just vintage and cute. Well, yes, but there is a lot more meaning behind it all. I hope you enjoy this blog just as much as I will enjoy writing it and posting pictures of my outfits and treasure findings. Ultimately, I want to reveal that my style seeks grace in His eyes. Such a revelation is inevitable.
To God be the glory! Great things He has done! I was so blessed by this entry....I too was raised in the church and began to lose sight of Him when I went off to college...but like you said, God had His hand on my life as well! I too am slowly learning the importance of modesty and how vital it is that we glorify God in all aspect of our lives....including the way we dress!
