Choosing the Hard Route: Modesty:)

Sometimes, modesty means you don’t fit in. Often, modesty means you don’t fit in.

It always means that we are different from 'the world'. I think sometimes it’s helpful to look at modesty not as ‘helping the guys because they are human and need it’, which I find often makes me proud, but rather, simply as choosing the hard route. The Bible says that because of our faith, we will be different, and physical differences are a part of that. It seems that being modest is, in large part, realizing that the easy way is not always the best.It's hard to find clothes that are pretty and flattering but not falling off or missing valuable pieces in critical locations, if you read me.  It’s easy to make ‘friends’ if you wear what they’re wearing. It’s harder, however, to make good, strong, healthy relationships when you are only friends with people because you shop at the same stores. If you make an obvious move to ‘be difficult’ when it comes to clothes, people often admire the spunk such a move takes. And the people who will notice that about you are often the ones who make the best friends. Don’t be afraid to take the ‘modesty chance’ !
