Being Modest in an Immodest World

Being Modest in an Immodest World

A little over two years ago I gave my life over to the Lord, and I started having trouble in my mother's home. She didn't want me to go to church because I was starting to act "different". So she gave me the option to leave, or to quit going to church pretty much. So I chose to leave and move in to my boyfriend's (at the time now my husband) and I lived with him, his mom, step-dad and sister, along with two dogs (mind you we all were living in a camper together and that was a very tight squeeze). So we starting going to the church I go to now, called Bread Breakers, and in me something started to change morally. I didn't want to wear revealing clothing, curse, drink or do anymore drugs, which I was raised on doing all of the above. So I started changing my wardrobe, I no longer own a pair of jeans which is something I wore a lot, and to be honest people started to notice. Especially customers at work..... they started making rude comments about how I looked. I didn't understand why they would be making fun of me for choosing to not reveal my body, but it hit me.... If I choose to reveal my body they would make rude comments then too about how my shorts were too short or my shirt too low cut and I would need to cover myself (which I do now) but it doesn't matter either way because you cannot please everyone. That is why I choose only to please God and my husband. If I have those two on my side then nothing can stand in my way. And for now when people ask me why I wear a skirt to work it gives me the opportunity to share with them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And that there lies the benefit of being modest in an immodest world.
