Hey everyone! Hope everyone has been enjoying their summers, or if you're back to school, I hope it started off great!!!!
For those of you who have yet to start school, or even if you just want to make it better if you have started, here are some awesome tips for back to school that everyone should take note of!
1) Dress modestly! You make a great impression on the teachers if you aren't showing off all your skin, and it pleases our great God! What is modest? Wearing clothes that aren't meant to show off your body. Keep skin above your knees covered, for the LORD says that is naked, and He does not appreciate that! (Isaiah 47:2-3) Also, for girls, make your best effort to try and always wear skirts and dresses. Why? Because in Deuteronomy 22:5, God tells us, "A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God." Do you hate dresses and skirts? I see that as a good thing; make a sacrifice for God! Please Him, and plus, it makes a GREAT way to start working on some missions! If you know me, you know I have about 5 dresses and 3 skirts that I wear ALL THE TIME! Wear them for your wonderful God to please Him and so He knows we take his word in and want to serve Him.
2) Pay attention in class! God has given you the opportunity to be learning and taking in what He has put in this world! He gave us all this amazing information to learn, so take it in! Be glad you are in a place where we get to learn SO MUCH COOL STUFF (even if you don't like it, I know I'm not excited to start up my precalc class, but the LORD gave it to the world to learn, so take it in!) Just remember at the end of the day, your most important textbook is your Bible, so close everyday on that, even if it is just a few verses of Psalms or Proverbs.
3) Have fun! Sports, classes, friends, family. All of these things can definitely be a source of stress, especially when you're trying to balance all of these while keeping Jesus Christ as your number one! But it can be done, and because Christ is your number one, you will be a lot less stressed than if you didn't have Jesus! But your school years go by so fast, so enjoy them!

i totally agree with you on this one bt thre is an issue about this lothes thing. dont get m wrong im a very conservative christian but i dont rly agree with you on this skirts issue. i mean have oyu seen he skirt styles and dresses out there. so open and tight theres like nothingleft to the imagination. so i think tht jeanswill b the moremodest option nowadays.
ReplyDeleteYou're very right, Myranda. Some skirts are very inappropriate, but God tells us to wear women's clothing. So take your discretion when buying clothing. Would it honor God? Would I be comfortable with my grandpa seeing me in this? Those are a few rules of thumb when buying clothing. That's why I like longer sundresses and skirts. You can also wear leggings and other things to make sure you keep yourself covered. I will do another post on clothing later so people can have a good understanding as to why I feel it so important to wear skirts.
