What is a Supermom? And How is that related to Modesty?
So what is dressing inappropriately? Well I have a website that you need to check out. The last seven or more posts were all talking about modestly. It's amazing!
So why should we look good? That would take time and energy when you don't have either! Well we have to look at Proverbs 31 something about rises early. Ouch! That smarts. Rising early means going to bed when we need to not when we want to. Yes I am speaking to myself here. :)
What is inside us should be reflected on the outside. Christ. We are the temple of the God. 1Corinthians 3:16&17 Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
I remember a lady who spoke at a ladies weekend at our church and she looked radiant. When you saw her you saw her inside and out. There was no difference. I am guilty of not spending time to look good for my husband, after all he married me and he'd better think I'm beautiful! I know he does but I would be showing him that I care about him and our relationship if I spent time to look good.
The funny thing is when I read these articles on modesty at the girltalk website, I think to myself I really need to go shopping! Instead of I really need to get rid of some stuff.
What do you think after reading those articles?

After reading the series on Modesty, my first thoughts were I need to instill these values in my daughters now. We went through Desi's closet several weeks back and any shirts that showed her belly button when she lifted her arms up where discarded, for being to small and inappropriate. Well now to go through my summer wardrobe with new eyes, yikes care to go shopping together Alanne. That would hold both of us accountable. It is much fun to find modest clothing when shopping in the kids section, clothing that will still look mature.
