Meet Kristopher, a 1 year old , with cute curls, the sweetest face, & 6 days to find a family.
His "Special Needs" are really quite minor. He has cataract of both eyes 2 eye surgeries already and needs
surgery for both cataracts. He’s been seen by an opthamologist 10 times since
arriving at the orphanage when he was 4 months old. The main need in Kristopher's life is a
family, someone to love him & rock him to sleep at night. Someone that will take dozens of photos
& make him giggle! To take
videos & post on facebook about his firsts! To let him go swimming & jump in mud
puddles after it rains. To show him
fireworks for the first time, & let him dig his sweet face into a cake
on his birthday! There are so many
things that this sweet boy wishes to do.
He only has 6 days to ever have a chance of doing any of that! So will you step forward & save
Kristopher?
Will you be Kristopher's mommy & daddy? His family!
I mean how can you not love a sweet boy with curls like those? :)
Save him!
Modesty isn't just in the way you dress, it's in how you act, talk & carry yourself. You should talk like the a daughter of God should talk, with modesty in the words you choose to use. With Kindness & wisdom.
Act as if the daughter of God should, with modesty & control, do not be a distraction to the young men around you.
Carry yourself as a young women should, in a manner that will not draw attention to the wrong parts of your body but instead in a way that glorifies God.
All of these things as well as the way you dress are important. Because you call your self a Christian other non believers will watch you closely to see if you act accordingly. They may think of you as different or weird, odd or out of place, but as Christians we are supposed to break the norm & be different, standout! :)
So I suppose you have seen my previous posts that have mentioned modesty. I wanted to share with you guys how I feel & view modesty.
My eyes were opened to this subject recently. I don't remember, how but I know that I see it totally different now. Before my eyes were opened, my mom would mention things about it to me & I would blow it off or make excuses. I wanted nothing to do with dressing decently. All I cared about was wearing things that made ME look good, & that I liked. I never thought about the impact that it might have on others by the way I dressed. I was selfish in that state of my life. There was a video that my mom had shared with me a while ago that I watched & thought nothing of. I blew it off as if it were fake, or irrelevant & had no purpose to me & my life. But before I continue I would like you to take a few minutes & watch this video.
Yes, this is the video that I watched & blew off. Now when I look back I wonder how did I manage to blow off the fact that my brothers in Christ struggle daily & I just make it 10x harder on them! I am a stumbling block. I am a temptation. I decided to pull this video up the other day to watch it again. I watched it multiple times that day. There was a line that stuck out at me which was this "When I see a girl provocatively dressed I think to myself, that she doesn't even know that 101 guys are going to devour her in their minds today." I cried when I heard that. It really got to me. I broke down & I knew that God was telling me to change.
Some of you may think of modesty how I used to, you may think that wearing modest shirts & longer short & no more low cut shirts is terrible. Now yes it takes some getting used too. But it's worth it, so worth it. I have found it fun making my self skirts & dressing differently! I enjoy standing out, & having others stare at me as if I am insane because I am breaking the "norm". That just gives you even more of a reason to hold your head high, put a smile on your face & walk through the store with total confidence. Because you know that you are dressed modestly, you are beautiful, & are no longer a stumbling block for any young or older man!
When it gets tough & you think about giving up just remember YOU are making the Big Man happy. You are pleasing to His eye. That is all you will ever need is to know that you Made God....The all powerful, All knowing, creator of the universe happy.
Here are 3 pictures of my outfit today! I'm wearing the skirt that I made & a shirt that I bought at the thrift store a while ago! :) My outfit it totally modest, & it's cute!
So recently I have started to focus on who God made me to be. The desires in my heart, & who I really am. I'm not like most of my friends although it may seem, the desires of my heart & they way i wish to dress & act are not how I am today. I would love to be in a place with other girls that wear skirts everyday & modesty is a big deal on their list. I would love to have friends that want the same that I do. I dream about being a stay at home mom, wearing skirts every day, having my daughters where cute dresses & skirts that I have made for them. Letting my hair grow long, focusing on no other man then my future husband. This is who God has made me to be, these are just a small handful of the desires of my heart. Now you may ask what is stopping me? I am the type if person where I let what others think get to me. I care to much. Yes, their opinions are nice but they should not control my decisions. I am aware that it's my fault for letting it control my decisions. & I am ready to make change & be me. So here I am the new me! In the skirt I MADE with some help from my mom!
I'm a Mom In The Making, kids adore me as I adore them. I want nothing more then to spend every second of everyday with my face shoved in the Bible. If I could never go anywhere & stay at home all day working on anything God related I would! Worship music makes me want to dance & sing, Oh! That is another thing I would love to have in my future house....I sound system threw out the whole house so that I can have worship music playing 24/7. My dreams are big but my God is bigger! So this is me. :)
