The Lord never intended for us to to do that. He intended for us to be modest and have enough common sense to accomplish that goal. And since He made us all so unique, it stands to reason that it will be accomplished in different ways by different people. But as long as we have the common thread of modesty, all is well.Mrs. V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05852637657270835106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12669756.post-33712735249517500802010-08-09T09:39:15.115-04:002010-08-09T09:39:15.115-04:00haha...yeah...been there, done that. I have waist...haha...yeah...been there, done that. I have waist length hair that I have had since I was 16 and I love it too...but I also made the mistake of turning it into a biblical conviction which was wrong wrong wrong, looking back on myself I can't believe how foolish I was when it came to many things. I blame the religious and church mind control...now I just don't care, AT ALL. I have my own personal relationship with Jesus and that's all I need (actually I couldn't live without it) and I could care less about what others do. It's so FREEING to not feel like I have to tell other people what to do, nor do I feel like I must explain myself to them or prove every little action with a Bible Verse. As a child of God I just live freely and walk freely upon the earth which my Father owns...I really belive this is what he means when he said to Abraham "walk before me and be thou perfect"...our simple child like faith in HIM, and our willingness to do anything and follow HIM anywhere is how we become perfect in HIS eyes :-)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18228610827193869739noreply@blogger.com
