Yesterday, we decided to go on a hike near a local lake after working in the garden. The air was hot and humid, but besides the heat coming from the babe strapped to my back, I was quite comfortable.

Should Christians Follow Fashion Trends?
Over the weekend, my husband and I took our two oldest sons out to eat in honor of our eleven-year-old's birthday. I am an early bird girl all the way.

The restaurant was packed, and while I don't normally … Continue reading Should Christians Follow Fashion Trends?

Sharing Modest Outfits
Finding appropriate clothing to wear can be very difficult for women in today's world. I was just sharing with my husband about how plain hard it is.

Several … Continue reading Sharing Modest Outfits
Cover Up For Christ {5/19/18}
I haven't posted any modest outfit posts lately, which is something I really enjoy doing.

How Our Clothing Choices Reflect the Gospel
"God looks at the heart. It doesn't matter what I wear." I have heard this phrase, or a variation of it, time and time again. This statement grieves me.

Head Covering as a Form of Protection
For most of my life, I never gave head covering a second thought. I believed it was antiquated, and not at all applicable to today. A few years ago I began to study head covering more thoroughly. At that time, I started to feel like it might be a good idea to wear head coverings … Continue reading Head Covering as a Form of Protection
What is True Beauty? Musings about Modesty
Over the past six years or so, my perception about Modesty and what it really is has changed drastically. God has stretched me hard in this area.
