This is my first real blog.  I have been inspired by reading the blogs of several other godly women.  The Lord has used those blogs and those women's lifestyles to be examples to me at a time when I feel the Lord is leading our household in a direction that's very different from that of those around us.  We are to be set apart from the world, but sometimes moving in that direction can be lonely.

This summer I started wearing only dresses and skirts in an effort to dress more modestly and femininely (1Tim. 2:9). 

I did a major wardrobe overhaul for myself and my daughters (ages 6 & 3).  Although my girls love dresses and skirts, we haven't been able to buy quite as many as we need to make a good weekly rotation of clothes for them, so they still wear pants and shorts at least once or twice per week.  I don't quite believe the Bible is telling me that pants are sinful, so I do still own pants and jeans for myself.  Maybe it's more of my reluctance to let go of the old and fully embrace the new.

My next goal is to learn to to sew.  I can do basic hand sewing to mend or sew a button, but I would like to get a sewing machine and learn to make tops and skirts for my daughters and myself.  Modest , feminine clothing can be hard to find.  In Christ, Talya
