Saving Skin

There are soooo many stylish and cute outfits/trends in stores right now. From low rise, to wraps, chokers, to rocking sports bras under overalls, off the shoulders, you name it! It's in style and it's super cute!

However, is this what God wants me to wear? He said in His Word to be "in the world not of it" but am I being of the world by following fashion trends? I am having a common dilemma I assumed most young Christians are battling with also. Although these fashions and styles are cute, I've made a decision to not follow the world's trends the day I declared myself a Christian. As I get closer to God, I started to understand what He is for and against. Reading His Word about how a woman should behave and submit under her husband really had me thinking. I want to be someone's wife one day but right now, I'm just a woman. I understand why other cultures require their women to cover up in a way. Therefore, I decided to "save skin" which means I will choose not to partake in any clothing activity involving the trends of showing off skin. I am choosing to "save skin" for my husband. I feel like he should be the only one to see those parts of my body; it is something intimate and intriguing for men so I don't want to tempt them as well as look/be of the world by flaunting my sexuality. I think a lot of people would disagree and this is bait for great discussions. However, this is a personal lifestyle and goal I am choosing FOR MYSELF... somewhat led by God. This summer is going to be a challenge for me when I do go out into public and into the sun but in the comfort of my own home when it's just me, myself, and I, I will wear what I want. I am currently researching and looking into styles like Bermuda shorts, gotcho pants, etc. that are still in style but do not cause too much skin to be shown. I think that in the end when I am with my husband and able to bare all how WE BOTH want to, I will be happy with my decision. But until then, the struggle is REAL! But I believe God is leading me into more covered and less worldly mindsets, fashion trends, and lifestyle. I'm deciding to Save Skin...

An Emotionless Man...

Image
Is not human.     He is a depiction of who society wants him to be. Is not normal.     He is a fiction character out of books you read and movies you see. Is not at fault.     He simply does not have a price to pay, any flaws or mistakes. Is not real.      He's consequently the boss of his own life he takes and to himself, he gives. Is "not filled with emotions"       He's robotic like emojis and refuses to emote his emotions to mean what he says and feels. He is an Emotionless Man and he is less than the man you would want to be with. In today's society, men are taught that they cannot show or have emotions or feelings. If they do, they cannot display it; they "must be stronger than every other person in the world." They might not always verbalize this unsaid and conditioned rule but it is well known amongst the male species. They are not taught how to balance or manage their feelings but bury it under th...

The Chronicles of Racial Battle Fatigue (2017)

(Edited; Originally set to post in 2017) Please keep in mind that this information is based on some facts and from experiences. Do not take anything as personal or as an attack on white people or white culture. Neither do I find myself superior to or discriminatory against the Caucasian race; prejudices and stereotypes may be shared. If you do not know or understand what these words mean (they are often confused with one another), please feel free to ask through comments or simply open another tab/look them up in the dictionary. Here is a message to my white friends: "There are a lot of things I must educate you on but feel as though it would not be worth it. You have made the focus and played victim for so long for issues that do not directly impact you but the fact is you are the problem. I will not keep my mouth shut and honestly, now that I have gone to college and about to receive my degree, I have learned many more things and experiences that I have yet to share w...

Stop Pride 2019

Image
It's a movement!!!! First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! With a new year, comes new responsibilities to self. One responsibility I promised myself to keep is to STOP PRiDE! Yes, small "I." This is a new movement, a new challenge that I think I am ready to accomplish and I hope to inspire you to join me! There's just one thing... how can you stop something that you may be blind to?!? OUCH! That hurt even as I typed it. Pride will have you completely blinded by YOU! You are and will stand in your own way without even realizing it. So let's tackle this together: what is Pride (and no, not the film). "Pride: a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired." Most also know pride to be our ego. It is the thing that tells you that you are right and justified for feeling the way you feel about somethi...
