The Mission of a Christian

Miss Jocelyn recently posted another Feeling Feminine Challenge, and I started doing it yesterday.  Part of the challenge, is to write your story on how you realized to become modest: 

Ever since my mom was saved when I was four years old, my mom started dressing me modestly.  Up until the age of eight, I was still wearing dresses and long skirts quite frequently.  After age eight, I pretty much wore dresses and skirts for church, but still dressed modestly every day.  And then around 7th grade at our old church, even though I didn’t go into the youth group, everyone youth group age abandoned the skirts and dresses, and started wearing jeans - and that’s when my insecurities set in, and I followed the crowd.  Although I was wearing pants to church, I was still dressing modestly. 

This past year, my love for skirts has been rekindled.  Although they had been hard to find in the past, they seem to be much more available now.  I have come across some cute knee high and ankle skirts, casual and dressy, and wearing them to church.  Not only do I wear them to church, but I mix match them with my tops, and wear them as an everyday outfit.  I find that they are more comfy than pants, I stay cooler, and I can move around in them very easily.  I also find that I act, sit, and carry myself in a more “lady-like” fashion when I’m wearing skirts, and I get many comments on them too. :)  Other than those, I stick to capris, bermudas, and gauchos, and I haven’t worn shorts for the past couple years – they are just too short now a days!!  All my other clothes are pretty loose fitting – for I’m the “wear for comfort type person.”

I’m taking a picture each day of the skirt and top that I wear, and I’ll be putting a slide show of them next week.  It will be fun!

In Christ,

Kira
