November 10, 2008 - My Weekend....... Bible Study, Out to Lunch, Shopping, Reading...
Hi,
How has everyone been?
I would like to say thank you so much for all the comments you guys left me on the post before this one! You all were very encouraging and had some great ideas on how we can help our new President. Some of the comments talked about how Barack Obama is our President we need to have respect for him, God appointed him for a reason and that reason could be for good or for bad we will just have to wait and find out. Other comments talked about how we can pray that Obama will have a change of heart and that he will make the right decisions for our country and that he will become a Christian.
Okay, now I am going to move off of the topic of politics and on to the topic of my weekend.
Friday- Friday morning I worked on school, cleaning the house, and I finished an awesome book! Friday evening I went to my friend Sierra's house! Her sisters, Emily and Leanne thought it would be fun to have a bible study for us girls, Emily, Leanne, Sierra, and I. The title of the bible study books we are using is Secret Keeper. The whole book is on modesty. How the world has drifted so far from modest dressing for woman that it is disgusting. I struggle sometimes with dressing modestly. I'm not perfect and sometimes it is hard for me to dress modest because when I think of modest dressing I think of the woman and children that wear the skirts down to there ankles, white button up blouses that button all the way up to the middle of your neck, and the white tennis shoes or black boot like shoes. I think WOW that is a little to modest for me. I respect there way of dressing and I think that it is awesome that they can do that but I just couldn't ever dress that way. It really got me thinking how do I dress more modestly without me feeling like I am going overboard. How can I be "In Style" and still dress modestly and how God would want me to dress and act like.
So I came up with an answer...........My answer is that I can keep an "In Style" wardrobe, the clothes just have to have a little change to them. Some of my tops are kind of low cut, I wear a tank top underneath them , the top comes up higher and adds a little more to cuteness to the top and makes it look a little nicer and more appropriate. I used to hate the idea of wearing a tank top under everything, they are kind of thick and it looks funny. But I bought the tank tops that have the thinner fabric and are spaghetti straps, so they don't look show threw your clothes as much and they still come up farther then the original shirt. Another think that I have noticed is the world says tighter clothes are better, for awhile I was believing them, but now I can see that it makes your figure look worse and you look cheap and trashy. I think clothes that are not tight against your figure, but aren't baggy look a lot nicer on me then the ones that are skin tight. I really like the shirts that are tighter towards the top of your upper body and are loser towards the bottom of your upper body. I think those shirts are extremely cute, especially with the jewels on them! Ok, so that is my ten cents on dressing modestly, lol! I would love to know what the word modest means to you! When you hear someone say dress more modestly what comes to mind? How do you think that you could dress more modestly? If you are not comfortable answering these questions that is fine! But I would love to know your answers!
Saturday- Saturday I was on the computer doing a bunch of things, writing comments, making my new template, and adding a few things to my sidebar.
Sunday- My mom, my grandma, my aunt Lena, my aunt Lena's daughter-in-law, and me went out to lunch. We went to a German restaurant. They had very interesting food, some I liked, some I didn't like. I would have to say I am not a big fan of German food. After lunch we went shopping and then we came home!
Today was co-op! We watched a movie about the government way back when, like in the 1800s. It was a pretty boring movie, but I watched it anyway and acted like it was the most interesting movie I have ever watched. Other then co-op today was pretty laid back.
Alright that raps up what I have been doing lately!
Ok I have just a quick little thing I would like to say before I finish this entry. My friend Sierra has a birthday coming up! I think it would be an awesome b-day present from you guys if you gave her a bunch of comments! It would be so awesome and she would love it! Here is the link to her blog......... Sierra's Blog.

I love that post. Modesty is really important in our 21st century. I personally don't wear skirts and stuff on a regular basis, however I'm very strong in my beliefs in modesty. My girls group did Secret Keeper too! Dannah Gresh is awesome!

Hi Makayla, thanks for the comment! I like this entry, my family and I have been praying for Barack, and our country, that God would have Mercy on us. I love those kinds of Shirts, I have a picture of one I got from Wal-Mart, it's really cute! Kind of a tunic, it's really comfortable, too. :-)
