Did you know that God has 22,680 Attributes?


What words do you think of when you hear the word, "GOD".?



  • Fear

  • Destruction

  • Anger

  • Love

  • Compassion

  • Mercy

  • Grace

  • Salvation

  • Father, Parent

To to name a few, although I never really thought about it. God is this infinite wisdom, He is the creator of all things, He is the giver of my life, He is the taker of Life, He is the Saviour that we oh so desperatley need, and yet, we want to call out, we want to cry out to Him, but what do we really know of Him.....Really?


To understand the Lords ways, to really grasp all He has to say to me, to you, to our families, friends, and all humanity; you have to really delve into His Word. We cannot fully understand Him unless we put in the time to really come to Him. When you want to learn something you go to school, when you want to learn about someone you ask them questions, when you love someone you put them first, when you................Its the same with getting to know the Lord.


You ask, "Whats this got to do with how I dress or How I do not dress, Hows this got anything to do with me wearing pants, skimpy revealing clothing, ect.?"


If you don't truly know and understand what, where, who, why and how God spoke then you will always want to rebel against what others "say" you are supposed to dress. God's word lays out the instructions for how we should live, dress, talk, walk everything. If we do not truly know, live, walk and talk it, what example are we really setting. What relationship do we truly have with the Lord? How are we being at walking in the Army of Christ? How are you looking when others look at you as an AMBASSODOR of the Lord?


Wow, thats really hard to chew, you mean I have to take responsibilty for all of that when I wake up and get dressed in the morning, that way to heavy!


Yes, that is exactly what I am saying! You are a DAUGHTER OF CHRIST! Do not ever forget it. You are iin the spotlight whether you want to be or not. How you do everything is in a constant scruitiny. How then do we live, walk, talk and carry ourselves in the real world when all eyes are constantly on us:



  • judging us

  • mocking us

  • waiting for us to fail

  • watching for us to compromise

  • watching for us to do anything that they can label so as to discredit God

Oh my goodness, why, how, oh so overwhelming.....


God called us to walk in the ways of Him, He promised to hold us strong, He never once promised it was going to be easy.


God is there when your tears start to fall, when your lips quiver, when your cheeks begin to redden, when your chin starts to slip.....God places His wonderful hands and cups your chin, this way to ensure you keep it held High. He is there when your feet slip and you are sure to fall, He comes and He places a Heavenly stone to catch you and Keep you in His ways.


Sisters, Friends of Christ I stand here and shout


"Keep your eyes on the Lord, keep your heart overflowing with the Word and Promises of God, keep your mind sharp with the knowledges of the Lord, Keep your spirit open for Him only. Keep your Bible near to you on every level, when all seems to engulf you and drown you, Remember that the Lord will always keep you, the Lord will protect you, the Lord will never let you down, He only will lift you up. Even in the worst, He lifts and calls you home. The world can tear at the flesh, beat the flesh, hurt the flesh, but you have something that runs deeper and eternally, Get to know God today, and keep Him always and ALLOW Him to keep You always!"



  1. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live iin the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 ATTRIBUTE=GOD LOVES THE SPIRITUAL CHRISTIAN

  2. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not williing that any should persih, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 ATTRIBUTE=GOD LOVES THE WORLD

  3. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and sleanse it with the washing of water by the word. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought me to love their wives as their own bodies. he that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his ownl flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Ephesians 5:25 ATTRIBUTE= GOD LOVES THE CHURCH

The more we know of the living God, the Word of God the more we want, pursue, are convicted to walk, talk, be a likelyhood of Christ, then the things of this world will grow strangely dim. The wyles of the world will no longer be a strong hinderance, we will be able to be the example of the God fearing, God loving, God walking, God talking, Women that He Himself called us to be. God knew you before you were even concieved He has a plan for you, all and any trials and tribulations will lead you to know Him more, will lead you to the woman he created you to be! In the eye of the storm, Praise God, Count your blessing, remember that every horrible, horrid hateful thing that worlds ways can do, remember that it only drives you closer to God...So buckle up, here we go...............Bring it on!


I PRAY THAT YOU SEEK AND FIND HIM, THAT YOUR THIRST FOR GOD IS UNQUENCHED THAT IT IS ALWAYS THIRSTING SENDING YOU TO THE FATHER FOR ALL THAT YOU NEED. THAT YOU STAND STRAIGHT AND TALL IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD, AND BECOME THE EXAMPLE OF A GODLY WOMAN THAT THE LORD CREATED YOU TO BE. MAY YOU BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS EACH AND EVERY DAY!

Dear God lead me to Your Will

What does Modesty mean to you, to your husband, to your children to your family, to your coworkers, and what does Modesty mean to God?


In todays world there are so many distinctions, viewpoints, opinions, changed minds, hardened hearts, pressures and fear. Did you know that God loves you, God wants you to be like Him, God calls you home to love you. How well do you know God?

When I look around at people whom critisize me and my family for our Modesty, Religion, Thoughts and actions, and yes even our dedication to the Lord; it is so hard not to retaliate, to get angry, tell them to take a picture it lasts much longer. I don't know about you but it is so hard to be a daughter of Christ sometimes. Its hard to hold your head high, to walk in the Spirit, to fight against the fleshy desires, to give all to God and to walk in His will.

I am finding the more I get to know, to study, to talk, to seek, to wait, to let go and let God; I find that it does get a little bit easier to be the Child God has created us to be. I would like you to start your journey and let God show you what Modesty is about. Utilize tools such as our blog to give you encouragement, knowledge, insight and friendship. Education is our best tool to fight the spiritual war that rages on. First, we must hide the Word of our Lord in our hearts, for His word is unchanging, His love is never ending, His Will is perfect and we must learn what it is that the Lord wants us to do. Second, we must research and educate ourselves with the knowledge of the meanings, definitions, ect on what modesty means to us.

Lets Start......

Breeches: n. plu. brich'es. Low L. braccoe.
A garment worn by men, covering the hips and thighs. It is now a close garment; but the word formerly was used for a loose garment, now called trowsers, laxoe braccoe.
To wear the breeches is, in the wife, to usurp the authority of the husband.

"And thou shalt make them linne breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unot the thighs they shall reach:" ~Exodus 28:42~

Trowsers: n. plu. s as z
A loos garment worn by males, extending from the waist to the knee or to the ankle, and covering the lower limbs(Websters Dictionary 1828)
Sometimes, trouser, a usu. loose-fitting outer garment for the lower part of the body, having individual leg portions, usu. full length. Also called pants. (Websters 1995)

"They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall haven linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat" ~Eziekiel 44:18~

Hose: n. plu. hosen or hose; pron. hoze, ho'zn
1. Breeches or trowsers
2. Stockings; coverings for the legs. This word in mercantile use, is synoymous with stockings though originally a very different garment.

Trews: n. trousers, esp. short, close fitting tartan trousers worn by certain Schottish-reggiments.
Drawers: in the plural, a close under garment worn on the lower limbs.
Pants:
1. Trousers 2. Underpants esp for women and children, panties
3. Brit. mens underpants esp. long drawers.
Idiom. Wear the Pants.: to have the dominant role, as in a household.

"Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the fiery furnace." ~Daneil 3:21~

From 1 Corith. 11:4 paul intructs the men not to cover thier head when in prayer or prophesying.

Pantaloon:
A garment for males in which breeches and stockings are in a piece; a species of close long trowsers extending to the heels. (Websters 1828)

A man's close-fitting garment for the hips and legs, worn esp. in the 19th century but varying in form from period to period.

The more we know the better equiped we are! The better ability to know false teachings, prophets and "messagers of God" for who they really are. We need to be the one's to ensure we are strong enough and wise to know the difference of God and those who wish us harm.

Modesty:
That lowly temper which accompanies a moderate estimate of one's own worth and importance,. This temper when natural, springs in some measure from timidity, and in young and inexperienced persons, is allied to bashfulness and diffidence. In persons who have seen the world, and lost thier natural timidity, modesty springs no less from principle than from feeling, and is manifested by retiring, unobtrusive manners, assuming les to itself rhan others are willing to yeild, and conceding to others all due honor and respect, or even more than they expect or require.

Modesty, as an act or series of acts, consists in humble, unobtrusive deportment, as opposed to extreme boldness, forwardness, arrogance, presumption, audacity or impudence. Thus we say, the petitioner urged his claims with modesty; the speaker addressedthe audience with modesty.

Moderation; decency.
In females, modesty has the like character as in males; but the word is used also as a synonymous with chastity, or purity, of manners. In this sense, modesty results from purity of mind, or from the fear of disgrace and ignominy fortified by eduaction and principle. Unaffected modesty is the sweetest charm of female excellence, the richest gem in the diadem fo their honor.

Words to ponder:
  • one's own worth
  • lost their natural timidity
  • conceding to others all due honor and respect
  • moderation
  • decency
  • chastity
  • purity
  • fear of disgrace

What does this mean for you, for your daughters, for your sons, for your husband and for your extended families?

When you ponder, pray, read scriptures and talk to God you will know and understand and want to share your knowledge. Remember only you have to ATONE for your actions and only YOU can truly understand what you will be facing at the Judgement seat of Christ. What have you done for heavens sake today.....One person makes the world of difference....Let us Arm ourselves with the Armour of God!

With Him all is possible,
