Moms For Modesty

Posted in My High Calling


Yesterday while I was home taking care of a sick baby I spent some time during her nap checking out the blogs I read on Bloglines.  I came across this post about the t-shirts girls wear today on Everyday Mommy's blog.  She was right on in what she was saying.  This morning she had a new post - Moms For Modesty.  She wrote the following:

Moms for Modesty Mission Statement

  • As a Mom for Modesty I believe in common-sense modesty for girls and young women. 
  • I believe in refraining from sexualizing our girls and young women. 
  • I believe that it is unwise and unfair to taunt boys and young men by permitting my daughter(s) to dress in an immodest manner.
  • I believe that true beauty comes from within and I strive to teach my daughter(s) this truth.
  • I will loyally shop at retailers that provide girls' and young womens clothing that is modest, affordable and stylish.

If you'd like to read her entire post about this or to participate, simply visit her blog and see it for yourself.

Having worked with youth over the years I can tell you that young girls (women even) are searching for significance.  Our enemies tell us, as females, that our significance lies in how we look and the attention that we command from others.  Unfortunately we have fallen for the lie and this has led to increasingly immodest clothing and the s*xu*lizing of our entire culture.  It has also led to our seeking our esteem in ourselves and others rather than in who we are in Christ.  Ashamedly, I must honestly admit that I have fallen prey to this lie, and you can read about that and what I want to teach m daughters here.

Let's teach our girls that we are significant & valuable because God created us and He loves us with an everlasting love.   Let's let them just be girls ... the way God intended them to be

Blessings to you all!

Luke 8:15 ...

But the seed on good soil stands for those with an honest and good heart. They hear the message. They keep it in their hearts. They remain faithful and produce a good crop.
