Modesty

I have been thinking about modesty recently. I have been reading a bunch of books on it, and I have decided to try to become more modest. I am really excited about it! The other day Marissa and I went through our closet and picked out all the immodest clothing we had and put it in a big plastic bag. We are going to give all that clothing away. I have wanted to do that for awhile, and I'm glad we finally found time to do so. I think modesty is a big issue in our culture today, and I want to become a positive role model to those around me. Like my little sister Joelle. I want her to look up to me and want to become like me for who I am in a good wholesome way, not because of how I look.

And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.
