Girls, here is a neat little story that happened to me and I just felt like God was giving me a hug of encouragement! I love it when He does that and I want it to encourage you too. He does care about us looking modest yet being attractive….

Modesty Is Beautiful!
I was in the store just the other day doing what I absolutely LOVE to do — Shopping J. I saw this shirt hanging up on the wall and thought I kinda liked, it was on sale too that’s a plus. So I just went to try it on.

When I tried it on I loved it!!! It was definitely my color with sequins and……. it was just beautiful! I really wanted it now.

THEN my Mom gave me that look and I knew what she was thinking. She thought it was too tight. I was disappointed. She went to get a bigger size and I tried it on. I hated the large size it looked sloppy and not cute at all. I looked at me reflection and thought “Yep, this is what modest looks like…ugly”.

I then left the dressing room to find a bigger size. I looked all over and couldn’t find a medium size. But I did see another large.

My very first instinct was to buy the small anyway. I personally didn’t have a problem with it. But……..as I stood there I KNEW what I was to do — obey. Sometimes it’s hard to just obey. But I resigned to hang it back up and leave and try to find something else I liked. I really loved this shirt, a lot too. But I was ready to put it back.

As I made my way back to hang it up disappointed, I looked up and right there was the very size I needed!!

I had looked twice. Mom looked then I looked. I then realized there must have been a lady in the dressing room that didn’t want it and put it back just in time as I walked back to return my other shirt.

I tried it on and it was absolutely perfect. Fitting, stylish, pretty, my color, my size and most of all modest. I even liked this one more it was even prettier, I thought. I bought it. And I had to think while paying “He does care! He does love me! And He makes my life truly BEAUTIFUL!!!”

See modesty is beautiful and He always makes a way to do just that and be beautiful for Him. I have so many stories of Him doing this very thing over and over for me.

Thanks to my parent’s for keeping me accountable, always.
