Bye bye black leather pants

Two weeks ago me and my friend Laura took a road trip. On the way home we were talking about wearing pants. I told I read a post on sermon index that made me think about it. She also said God had been putting it on her heart to. After praying about we planed to go home and get rid of any clothes God didn't want us to have. I went home and got rid lots of shirts, and pants. Then Laura wrote this after we got back.
Bye bye black leather pants

Hello my wonderful readers. I hope that you will be blessed by what God is doing in my life and be spurred on and encouraged to do the same.

Growing up in American culture we often take for granted that many things just ARE. The idea of entertainment, watching movies, listening to music, going to school to get an education, keeping with the latest fashions... there are so many things that we just accept as part of American culture, what is culturally acceptable and therefore morally okay.

Lol, well, we as Christians begin to see that this just isn't so! I'm not going to get into all the details of what American culture just has wrong and has twisted morality and human "rights". What I want to share with you is the latest thing that God has revealed in my own life and the action that I'm taking to uphold a new standard of holiness.

BYE BYE BLACK LEATHER PANTS! And not just the black leather pants, but the jeans too. I've already gotten rid of 20 pairs of pants. I'm going to replace almost my entire wardrobe (with dresses, skirts, and loose fit pants) becuase almost everything I own is form-fitting and I desire my appearance to scream... modesty....purity....lady.... This seems like a big change. I'm so comfortable with my clothes and I'm always complimented on my sense of style. Much of that is going out the window. I'm not saying I have to look silly or unattractive or unstylish, but I'm coming to see just how sacred our bodies are. Our bodies are God's temple, which is to be holy and sacred, pure and righteous. So, let's start treating our bodies as such. Bye bye swimsuits. I'm trashing them all. I think its such an evil thing to meet and swim in public places exposing our bodies for all to see. It's just so incredibly wrong, unless you are really covering yourselves up, especially you ladies!

I want purity. I want holiness. I want righteousness. Do you? Why should we even dress like the world?

Thank you for sharing! Very encouraging to hear!

I did the same thing not too long ago and God used s.i. on me too!

I threw all my jeans away and anything that was form fitting, tight, and sylish looking.

I am now wearing loose long skirts to the ankle.

Much blessings, Lisa

:-D

Ezekiel 36:26
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you:

Praise God, how wonderful it is to see and hear of revival taking place in individual hearts.
May the Lord continue to bless and encourage
you in your witness.
This can only be the beginning of what the Lord has for those who are His.
In His Love

Praise God!

Praise the Lord!

I would just like to say that I believe there is nothing as good looking on a woman than modesty.

God bless you sister. This blessed me greatly.

modesty....purity....lady....

God bless you sisters. What a beautiful and heartwarming encouragement... You brought a tear to my eye and sweetness to the heart.

Don't give in to the Pressure

this so true!
I lived in Flagstaff when I came to Christ.
The women of God had put into my life held a high standard of modesty. But I moved to Tuscon and I had no friends. Although I called my friends. I was around those who had lower standard of modesty, yet after time I fall into the pressure of lower my modesty. But It is time for a cleaning, but this time I feel God got even deeper then when I was in Flagstaff. we can't fall into the pressure, but turn to Christ and obey.

your post is what made me stop and think,
after reading your post on pants I started thinking why pants were so bad. Although part of me already knew. I wore pants under my skirts I was dancing and that's what started it. But I still wore some pants. when I came to Tucson I was given a bags of clothes. In it was jeans, so I started wearing jeans all the time. anyways after
thinking about it. I went to the college campus to pray. When I sitting there looking at all the women walking by, it hit me. It is not worth IF even one stumble because of me, do I want comfort or Holiness? SO thank you for your encouragment. I AM blessed by you.

I am too!
It is good to hear other women are convicted on this too. I'm eventually going to go to all skirts, except a few loose pants, also.
I went back and forth between modesty and immodesty because I felt pressured, but the more I learn about Christian womanhood, the more I feel like clothing myself in modesty and ladylike behavior.

Bless you, Charlene.

God has encouraged me much thru s.i. thats for sure!

I really love the people here, though many cannot tell, I really think about and pray for people here.

I really thank God for this site. My husband is a witness to how much s.i. has helped me grow more in the Lord.

Its sooo encouraging to hear and be with sisters who are reaching the same goal- Jesus! Holiness unto the Lord! Oh Lord may you be so glorified thru your daughters!

Oh Lord may you be so glorified thru your daughters

Praise God!

May we live be to Holy.
and we need each other to encourage
each other.
