Wearing skirts week 1

[mummacat124]

Wow. I was doing it off and on but this was the first full week of skirt wearing. I wore pants once. And I didn't feel right about it. I attempted to justify why, no skirts clean. But I know in my heart, had I planned better, I would have had a skirt to wear that day.

I am having trouble finding skirts in my size and the right length. I know many brands that fit well and I turned to ebay to find those brands in my size. I am so excited to report my skirts should be arriving soon. :O) I know a girl that knows how to sew and if the slits are not helping me stay modest she is able to fix them.

I just feel this is the right thing for me to do. I am to honor God in all things. That includes how I dress.I would never force my personal conviction on someone else. I am at a point in my life that God is helping me show my unsaved friends and family Christ. I am the only "Jesus" they see or the only "bible" they will ever read. If I am not different from them, how can they ever see how Christ has changed my life?

It is hard. Believe me. I loved pants, but that desire is gone. I feel more femine in skirts. My dh has even responded very positively about my skirt wearing. He has noticed my outward change as well.

If you are one of the gals that is not convicted about the skirt wearing thing, don't feel you must wear skirts to serve God. That is simply not true. As long as you are honoring God in all things, you doing what you should be. Just pray about it and ask God to help you see what you should be doing. He will help you know if you are being convicted or not.

I prayed about skirts and complained about not having any in my size and poof they there were...for meer pennies at the local thrift shop and then for a few bucks online!

If God bring you to it, he WILL provide a way for you to honor him...in whatever it may be--not just clothing.

I'm glad things are working so well for you!  I'm really excited for you, and hopefully this change will help your husband see what a great God you have!

timandisaacsmom, the day I did wore pants...I felt like I was wearing jammies...and not doing something right.

I just keep praying that Lord will help me keep this conviction. If it is of Him he will. :O)

I still can't get over the cheap-o prices I have found on Eddie Bauer and LL Bean skirts. That alone is enough to make me want to wear skirts...hahahaha Who can say no to $1?
