Modest is Hottest

I have been looking at lots of prom pictures this week and have been shocked at what many of the young girls are choosing to wear---and that their mommy's & daddy's let them wear it! Holy Cow! I have seen lots of cleavage and dresses cut down to the belly button. WOW! I hope that I don't have to break Emma's heart when she approaches prom-age, but "she ain't wearing that stuff" :)

I was looking through my P31 Woman magazine from last month and on the cover Shari Braendel is wearing a shirt that says "Modest is Hottest." Isn't that so true! Shari's article is about dressing your best & spending time on your appearance because you represent the King. I would add that we, as women, should also remember to be modest in our dress in addition to just looking our best. Would you wear that low-cut blouse or too-short skirt if Jesus was standing beside you? Well, He is! Let's help our little girls (and ourselves) be confident in their appearance without showing so much skin.

I agree with you. It really bothers me when I see young girls showing off so much of their body. I'm glad for moms like you who like to make a change

I agree! I have seen many of them. I just pray that Lauren keeps the modest way that she has right now and respects herself and the body that God has given her. Thanks for your encouraging words and FAITH!
