And now for the second part of my post... I have been busy with things for the past couple of weeks, and I think I need a blogging break for a little while. Just a few weeks to get everything in order. I feel that I haven't been spending as much time with YHWH as I need to, and that should be (and I plan to make it) my number one priority. So, as for right now I will not be posting about anything for a little while.

Shalom! :)

Interview # 3... Abeeda

Hello again! This is the third interview so far, and I am very excited to introduce this amazing young lady to you! Her name is Abeeda, and that is all I will tell you, you'll have to read the rest for yourself. ;)

1. Choose five words to best describe yourself. Curious, talkative, simple, grateful and hopeful.


2. What is one thing few people know about you? I'm a big softie. :) I care a great deal about others.


3. Please tell us a little about yourself and your family. I am a young lady seeking the Saviour. I come from a rather large family, I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. I have been blessed to have such a loving family. My parents are such a blessing to me, they have taught me so much.


4. Do you have a blog/website? If so, what is it about, and where can we find it? Yes I do, called "Abeeda's Journey". I write about my growing relationship with the Saviour, things that I am learning as I seek Him, my experience of living in a new country, things the Lord has placed on my heart, and more. You can find me at Abeeda's Journey

5. Do you play any instruments? Not really, I just started learning how to play the ukulele, I still have a long way to go, but I am really enjoying it. :)

6. What do you think it means to be set-apart? I think that being set-apart means that Christ abides in you, and you in Him (John 15v4-7) Only when you have Christ you, will people see the difference.

7. What is your idea of modest dress? My idea of modest dress is clothing that is simple, that covers you up, and keeps you comfortable. Nothing too tight, nothing too short, nothing too low. But most importantly, that brings honour to the Saviour.

Well, I think that sums it up. ;) While I only know Abeeda through the "Blogger World", I so much enjoy meeting new young ladies who have such an intense love for our Heavenly Father as she does. :) Stay tuned in for the next interview! Please leave your thoughts below, I love hearing what you have to say!! ;) Until next time... Shalom! ;)

Pesach

Hello everyone, tonight my family is celebrating Pesach (Passover). :) I found this song on Declared Unto Him. And thought it was absolutely beautiful! 

Happy Passover!

Shalom,

Photography

Yesterday I was bored, so I went outside and cut a couple of the flowers growing around our house, and tried my hand at photography. What do you think? ;) Which is your favorite?

Modesty Challenge; Days 1 & 2

Outfit for Day 1.

Pink and black checkered blouse- Arizona Jean Co.

Blue Camisole- INC

Black skirt- Goodwill

***

Outfit for day 2.

Pink Thumper Shirt- Disney Land (I think;)

Light brown board shorts- Rue 21 (I really like these, because they are baggy, and don't show the shape of my thighs.)

 

So, those are the outfits for days one and two of this Modesty Challenge. What do you think so far? ;)

The Modesty Challenge

Okay, were on the subject of clothing here. There aren't very many boys out there that have pure minds when they look at immodest women. (and immodest girls) Are there? It even starts with little boys! The way they think and the way men think about the immodest women they see, isn't very different. Here is a video I found on Sowers of Hope that I thought was appropriate... (Although, like the women over there mentioned, the music playing at the beginning, I do not approve of.)


So after watching that- finding out what guys really think about the way we dress- does it make you think differently about what you put on, and walk out of the house wearing? It sure made me think differently!

So, I have decided to start a Challenge. This challenge will be to wear only things that are appropriate and modest. Before you put an item of clothing on, ask yourself, 'Does this glorify YHWH?' and 'Will it make not only my brothers in the Messiah, but also the non-believing guys stumble?'
I also think it would be good to remember this scripture verse throughout the week, to remind ourselves of what Elohim wants us to dress like.

 "In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;" 1 Timothy 2:9

 "She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms." Proverbs 31:17

 "She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing [is] silk and purple. Proverbs 31:22

   "Strength and honour [are] her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. Proverbs 31:25

 "Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain: [but] a woman [that] feareth the LORD, she shall be praised." Proverbs 31:29-30

Other than posting pictures of your outfits everyday, that is the only guideline for this challenge. I'm curious whether my fellow blogger friends hold the same convictions I do when it comes to dress. If you'd like to participate, just leave a comment telling me so, along with your blog or website link. :) I hope to see some pictures! This challenge will start on April 13th, and end on April 20th. ;)
