Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
 Take UP Your Cross Prompt for September 16th Prompt: Am I vulnerable with God? Do I invite him in to know my pain, weaknesses and fears? Do I open myself up to be corrected, trained and instructed by God’s word? Answer: The answer to all of the above is a resounding yes. Who else can I trust so completely. I tell him things I don't talk to anyone else about. Reading the Bible without the Holy Spirit is like trying to see yourself in the mirror when there are no lights turned on. When the Holy Spirit comes in, there is light. You can then see yourself clearly enough to make changes. You can brush your hair and make sure everything is where it needs to be. That is what the Holy Spirit does with the Bible.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Prompt: In a world full of trends, I want to remain a classic. Write about this in your Blog entry today. This is pretty much how I have always felt. I don't want to fit the mold and be like everyone else. I don't want to keep up with the Jones's. I just want to be me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Prompt: I was cruising the galaxy with Twikkie and found this planet: T.L.Finch (149) Read this item:
Write about this item in your Blog entry today. This is a good poem about a pack of wolves. It makes sense to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Please use these words in your entry today: fling, sing, wing, outside, dried and divide. Choose another word that rhymes with either the first three or the last three to tell us a story. I had a fling. He did sing. About a wing In a sling. It will divide Wind outside When it dried The bird tried. He had to bring A broken wing Tied in a sling A very sad thing.

 PROMPT September 16th I know you've done it. I know I have. Tell us about a time you were inappropriately dressed for the occasion. I have been trying to decide what to write for this prompt all day. It seems like I have written something like this before and don't wish to repeat myself. So I think I have decided to write about dressing for church as a teenager. My dad required me to wear dresses every time I went, Sunday morning and Sunday night and Wednesday evening. Well, when I was a teen is when fashions began changing. Sundays and Wednesdays became more casual. So when I would show up in my dresses and skirts, I would get made fun of. I wasn't even allowed to wear coolocks. I had to wear those a lot at school. While I have no problem dressing up on occasion now, my personal opinion is that sometimes it is more decent and “modest” to wear pants. Dresses make me feel vulnerable/exposed. I will wear shorts under them instead of a slip. If you move wrong, the dress/skirt will expose parts you want to keep covered. Providing your pants are not skin tight, what are they exposing? Styles have changed. Just because I wear pants does not mean I am wearing a man's apparel. There are some pants now days men just wouldn't look right in. Lol Back in the day, when women wore dresses all the time, their underwear also covered more than the underwear we have today. The reason I make this point is because there are Christians who still try to abide with those values. If that is what tickles their fancy, more power to them. However, for me, I would have to disagree. I will wear my pants. I will dress comfortably and modestly. As long as I am not showing all of God's creation (and sometimes I feel dresses do), then I don't see a problem with wearing what I wear. Now I even wear sleeveless shirts and shorts. My mom would fit about that. Anyway, this ties into the prompt because I always felt overdressed and uncomfortable. Be careful not to move wrong or sit wrong because you might expose yourself, but this was supposed to be modest apparel. Um, okay, if you say so. If I was wearing slacks, I wouldn't have to worry about that. So how exactly is a dress more modest than women's slacks? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Okay, that was rather therapeutic to write about that. Lol |
