On Modesty...

Have you ever wondered,

"Hmmm...is this skirt too short?"

or

"Is this top too revealing?"

 

Or worse yet, have you ever caught yourself comparing what you are wearing with what Susie and Jane wear and think,

"Well,... at least I am more modest than they are!"

 

Girls...we have a higher standard to go by and that is our Lord and Savior's standard.  He sets the rules and he is the judge on what we wear. 

 

A good quote to remember when trying to decide if something is truly modest in the Lord's eyes would be:

 

"Certainly such as fear the LORD should go in no apparel, but, first, such as they are willing to die in; secondly, to appear before the Ancient of Days in...thirdly, to stand before a judgement-seat."

 

-Thomas Brooks, London's Lamentations, pg. 52

 

Welcome to The Upward Call of God

Hello Everyone!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I'm Kelsey...daughter, sister and soon-to-be aunt!  I am currently serving my family as a stay-at-home daughter and helping out on our farm.  We run a goat dairy down here in South Carolina, currently milking 24 goats, and we also have a certified cheese facility, which keeps us pretty busy.  There are five children in my family.  Jordan is my older sister who is married to Caleb Yuck.  They live in Canada and are expecting their firstborn towards the end of the year!  I am the second oldest.  Then right behind me is Savannah.  Ethan is next and is the firstborn son.  And then, the youngest in our family is Noah.  Mom has homeschooled all of us all the way through, except for Jordan's first year, in which she went to public school.  Dad is the pastor of a Family-Integrated Church that we helped to start about 5 years ago.
