Modesty Articles
Carmen from Full Contact Christ-Centric Living has a wonderful little post about the importance of dressing modestly and some simple things for ladies to think about as they make their clothing choices. Here is a small excerpt:
I’m speaking from experience with my own sons and our conversations. I’ve also heard and read the testimony of godly young men who have expressed their gratefulness to young ladies for dressing modestly and not arousing sinful thoughts in them.
Please take a moment to read the rest of her article, Considerate Modesty.
My dear in real life friend, Rebecca, also addresses the subject of modesty on her fashion blog. She discusses how we can apply Proverbs 3:6, In all your ways acknowledge Him…. to what we choose to wear each day.
Please take some time to read this short and insightful post on Acknowledging God in What we Wear.
I also found a wonderful little blog entitled Maidens of Worth. They have a section entitled Maidens for Modesty. In this is included a statement of the Maidens for Modesty set of values. It show how they are endeavoring to honor God in the way they dress.
Please pop on over and read their Values for Maidens of Modesty.

Seems like you’re asking to host the Carnival of Modesty… I could always use guest hosts. (hint, hint)
There’s actually a carnival coming up this weekend– you could have this one or the next one in July?

Kristine,
I enjoy reading your blog. Thank you for posting about Modesty. It is a reminder to honor the Lord in how we dress and not being a stumbling block for ourselves and others.

I remember when they were working on the Modesty Survey, and when they finally posted the results my daughters and their friends and I all sat down and went through the whole survey. It is interesting to see their point of view, and my girls were very surprised at some of the results.
By the way, if I am not mistaken, we have met before! I believe you may have been stationed here where I am (Eastern WA) last year. If so, we met at speech therapy.
Nice to ‘see’ you again! I saw your posts & picture at HOM so I came to see your blog. Nice!

Thanks for posting these articles on modesty. I am always amazed how that kids who are actually “good kids” don’t realize what they look like when they dress immodestly.
How are you feeling, btw?

I am a Christian and very open minded. I love children. I go to church and reas the bible. I’m not perfect but i’m not the devil. My thoughts to you are, you say you have kids because you don’t belive in safe sex. But don’t you think this is selfish of you. Last time i check being selfish was a sin. How can you possibly make enough time and spend time with your kinds if you have os many andyour always pregnant. Don’t you think about them? What is the point of having so many if the next thing your going to be worries about is having another baby. This is not fair to them. God made you a mother to take care of your children not to make them take care of themselves. You have the older kids caring for the little ones. Are you sure this is what God wants you to be doing? This is not me judging you, because that would also be a sin. I’m questioning your theory, and trying to make you ask your self is this is what God really wants for you and your children?
Best wishes for you and you little one and big ones. Hope you can make time for the most important things in your life, because life is way to short for your kids to grow up with a mom who’s always pregnant. You’re missing out on the most wonderful things of life.

I’m not quite sure how what Mama Archer is doing is that worse than parents who have kids and ship them off to day care or public schools and camps every day.
In her case, yes, she has many children, but they are learning life skills better than those that only have one or two children. They’re learning to care for those younger, to help each other grow, sharing, and they themselves are learning selflessness.
Her kids see their mom all day, every day and they get to actually learn from her instead of a teacher.
And, depending on the pregnancy, she may feel fine. Also, she’s teaching them, through experience, about where children come from, and the value that they have– that they are a gift and not a curse.
Now, I’m not saying God has gifted everyone this way, but I am saying that if God has placed this in your heart, it would be a sin not to live this way.

Thanks for linking to my post. I don’t get as much time to surf as I’d like because I’m busy caring for my own busy household plus a little writing and a deployed husband, but I’ll note your site and try to get back to it.
It is not selfish in any way to accept the blessings (chidren) God has for you and to trust Him to provide for their needs–your time included. May God give you strenth for the journey!
