Modesty is Just Part of The Journey...

Joye at Home: Modesty is Just Part of The Journey...

I feel like this is wrapped up with my weight loss journey and part of the lessons that the Lord wants me to learn. When I first lost all my excess weight, one of the first things I did was go out and buy a whole new wardrobe (well...I had to, I went from a size 12 to a size 0...yikes). So my vanity lead me to buy the cutesiest and most figure revealing stuff that I could fimd. I could finally fit in a bikini...and isn't that what all dieters are striving for? (where's the slap icon...lol). Then shortly after my weightloss, He brought me to Carmel...and instilled a whole different passion in clothes for me. I just have this attraction for the color Brown! I still like fashionable clothing, but I think there are plenty of options available without bearing it all for the world. Another thing is that I refuse to wear the metalic scapular necklaces...if I can't wear my regular brown scapular under my outfit, then the outfit itself is probably not appropriate for me.

I also believe that this is part of the reason that the Lord allowed the weight to come back on...to protect me when I wasn't willing to protect myself.

By the way...I'm not trying to teach anyone else with this post or convict anyone. These are my own lessons and they've come to me the hard way.
