Real talk - Modesty

My thoughts over the past while. Weighing on my heart. 

Modesty should be a privilege, not a chore. I know it's sometimes hard to wrap our minds around, but we are representing God's image if we're Christians. If we're doing that then we need to remember that our bodies represent Him, too. 

When it comes to respecting our bodies modestly is a HUGE part of that. Choosing modesty over the latest "show it off" fashion isn't a sign of weakness, but of strength. It's proving not only to yourself but also to others that you have enough self respect to not show yourself
off to the whole world. 

Unfortunately, there isn't a one size fits all guide to modesty; but there are things that we need not make compromises on. 

I encourage you to evaluate yourself and your convictions. Then live them out. Trust me. It might not be easy at first, but I know that it's 100% worth it.

Life Lessons from Coffee Chats

Today I had an unnamed person (we’ll call Jane) ask me if I wanted coffee. At first, I kindly declined. A little while later she asked me a 2nd time. However, this time I could tell she wanted more than me to just have a cup of coffee. ☕️  She wanted me to spend the time with her it took to drink that cup of coffee to talk with me. To ask me questions, learn about something she had been wondering about and gain better insight into a particular situation.  I think that’s why in the American culture when someone asks us to coffee, it’s either a quick yes or no answer because maybe we don’t want to spend time asking deeper questions of someone.  Our motivations might be different in each scenario but what if we said yes to coffee more often even if it’s not convenient for us? We might have assumptions or fears surrounding the other person’s motives. However, there’s no better way to gain clarity about them than asking vs assuming.  Trust me. It’s wayyyy easier said than done but in the l

Real Talk - Honor

Honor: Verb: regard with great respect  To be honest, I wasn’t ready sure what to write about this week. Everyone is talking about New Years resolutions, goals they’re setting, & what they want to do with the time they have this year.  Then it got me to thinking. What if we make resolutions to leave others better off than we find them? If they mistreat us, let’s teach them how to treat us right. If they do good to us, let’s applaud them.  It won’t be easy, but if we do it together & give it our best, we all will be better for it.  Reminder:  9  Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast  to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor . Romans 2:9-10 ESV Challenge:  Choose 1 person this week to honor.
