Interview #2... Jamie

Hey there everybody! If you do not already know who Jamie is, I will tell you. ;) She is a great role model, modest, loving, caring, exciting, polite, funny and much, much more. So without further ado, here she is! :)

1. Choose five words to best describe yourself. Optimistic, easily pleased, musical, adventurous and hopeful :]

2. What is one thing few people know about you? That I'm actually very self-conscious and not half as confident as I'd like to be!

3. Please tell us a little about yourself and your family. I'm a simple girl living an amazing life~ what makes it amazing? The love of YAHWEH, my Father, King and Protector! And also the love of my family, their undying support and encouragement! My family consists of two wonderful parents, myself, my younger sister, and my little brother! All of us are very unique but my mom and I are very similar! She is my best friend and someone that I know will always have my back. :]

4. Do you have a blog/website? If so, what is it about, and where can we find it? Yes! I have a blog called, "From the Inside Out" which I use to blog my thoughts about spiritual matters, modesty, homemaking, life as a teenage stay-at-home daughter and more! You can find me at www.jamiesbloggerblog.blogspot.com!

5. Do you play any instruments? The piano and I LOVE it.

6. What do you think it means to be set apart? I think it means exactly what Scripture says: being IN the world but not OF the world. I think it means making a difference in Christ's Name while we're on the earth for a short time. I think it means being an upstanding example to our community, peers and friends!

7. What is your idea of modest dress?  My idea of modest dress is clothing that does not cause a brother to stumble. Shirts that have necklines covering all cleavage, have sleeves, and aren't too tight. Skirts that come below the knee. Pants that are loose-fitting and not "flashy" across the bottom. I think being modest is SO easy and fun once you get into the right mindset! :]

Aren't they pretty?!? Has spring sprung where you are yet? What are some of your favorite spring flowers? :) Happy Spring!!

Modesty matters!

 Modesty posts seemed to be popular lately, so I thought I might give my two cents about the matter. :) Here are a few pictures of what I think are modest skirts and shoes...

 Modesty is very important, whichever way you look at it, our clothes describe our personality. So just for an example, if I went out in public wearing a mini skirt, a low cut shirt and heels like this...

 People would get the impression that I am trying to attract some attention here. Hence the described outfit. But if I went out in public wearing a modest skirt (knee length or lower) and a loose, sleeved shirt with ballet flats or something like that, I'm sure everyone would gather that I was someone who cared about what I looked like, and how I conducted myself. Don't you think?

 Modesty is as much an inward thing, as it is an outward thing. If we dress modestly, but our heart is not in it, what's the point? We need to check our hearts often, to make sure dressing modestly is not something we are doing just to make our parents happy! Do you agree? What is your idea of modesty? Please share with me your thoughts on this matter... Because I think, MODESTY MATTERS! :) Don't you?

 Well, Shabbat is here again already! Can you believe how fast the days go by? I'd love to wish whoever reading this a very blessed Sabbath, with much joy and fellowship! As for our family, we will be camping with some friends of ours tomorrow night through the weekend.. That should be fun! :) (As long as the mosquitoes keep away from me...) *Mental note, take along some bug spray, and citronella candles* ;)
