Modesty is an important thing in the LDS church and seeing as summer is coming I appreciate modesty even more. It honestly reminds me of a take on a Taylor Swift's song that I never thought of before. "You belong to Me" quite frankly does a great job of describing the worlds view of modesty and how we should truly look beyond the immodesty and see that true beauty doesn't rest in short skirts but rather on the inside.
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time. |
More and more we can look around and see girls dressed with short skirts trying to be popular. It's my dream that people would realize that the true beauty actually is on the bleachers in the girls who won't step down from modesty! Take a look at this Mormon who is taking the designing world by suprise: MODESTLY! WORLD WAKE UP AND find that what your looking for has been here the whole time: true beauty isn't in what you wear or how you act, but rather in ways you express the things you hold beneath the skin. When looking for friends we need to look for those that hold modesty standards that have been here the whole time.
And for those males out there take time to notice modesty. Don't take for granted anyone who holds standards. Now a days they are few and far between: Taylor Swift Speaks directly to you
Can't you see
That I'm the one
Who understands you?
Been here all along
So why can't you see
That I'm the one
Who understands you?
Been here all along
So why can't you see
Men WHY CAN'T YOU SEE??? Get over the looks and find out what it really means to have high standards. There is another song that comes to mind when thinking of what men should do when it comes to the modesty of the women in this world. "R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me!"
RESPECT them. Plus it's sad to realize but more and more is immodesty not only
becoming an issue for girls, but for guys as well. Not too long ago I was in Lawrenceburg and an older lady came up to my companion and I. She immediately complimented us on our nice white shirts and ties, and how happy she was to see young men of our age still dress modest. Now I'm not encouraging everyone to walk around in white shirts and ties... the confirmities of the 20s are over, however I do hope that men wear clothes that fit! Look presentable you never know who you might meet and appearance makes the first reaction! Not only was this lady happy to see our modest dress but she treated us to her famous carrot cake as well because of it. You never know the blessings behind dressing modestly!
