In reply to Emily. Thank you, Emily. It's such a constant choice -- listening to His Spirit vs. our flesh. Praying we have ears to hear and the boldness to follow. Much love.

In reply to alwaysalleluia. I love the prayer in your last line, "Wisdom as we seek the balance of modesty and embracing our femininity." So good. Blessings to you, sweet friend.

I think it’s important to remember that we are guided by the Spirit when we look in the mirror. I even think God gives guidance to non-believers in some way. That battle within us that says, “maybe I shouldn’t wear this…but it does look pretty good on me.” It’s a battle of trying to find our worth, and trying to fit in or measure up to the next person. But I think if we will listen to the voice of the Spirit and not follow the ways of our fleshly heart, we will find much blessing there, and bless others in the process (our men, our children, and even a stranger). Great post, Lara!

Thank you for this gentle reminder, Lara. I too love fashion and have had to carefully consider how I dress as not to provoke or be inaprpriate. There is a delicate balance between looking apealing to your spouse and then crossing the line. Praying for God’s wisdom for us as we seek the happy balance of modesty, while we freely embrace our femininity. 😉

In reply to Inspired by Family. I love that last thing you said, "I have absolutely no idea what my sister or brother beside me has raging within them." And thank you for mentioning women as well. You are right. We don't focus on that as much but absolutely, we all have wars waging. Blessings!

So true, having been a counselor for some years and listening to deep struggles from men and even women who struggle w/ lusting either for other women or for men. It really made me think about how I dress, bending over etc…not just for the men but also for women b/c I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what my sister or brother beside me has, raging war within them.
