Looking Good-Looking God
Today we are so concerned about looking good, smelling good and feeling good......
Todays thought of the day is.......
If we are going to look good then we need to look good according to God's standards......

WOMEN
Challenge of the Day?
If your jeans are tight and your butt is not covered, how do you know you are not tempting that man walking behind you to sin and lust for your body?
Do you dress that way because today's society says it is allowed or because it make you feel good or Because God's word says that you should?
Do you think what would please God before you actually do something?
Well if you don't you should because just becasue Yeshua died for our sins doesn't mean you are allowed to keep sinning or you are allowed to do what you want to do. Just to repent over the same things over and over again.
O challenge you to Modesty, to decency in thought, action and dress!!!

Biblical Common Sense
When does what you believe override what is Written in the Bible?
When does men's traditions supersed what the bible says?
If you did a biblical search of "Christmas", "Easter", "Sunrise Service", and "New Years" what would you find?
But if you are supposed to celebrate biblical "Holy" Days verses man made "Holidays" what would you know about that?
How often do you read your bible to actually find out what you should or should not be doing in your life?
Do you depend on what your preacher or teacher or pastor tells you or do you read for yourself.
The word of God is plain, as plan as reading these current words....what God says he means....no ifs ands or buts or special meanings in between.

Biblical Common Sense
Why is it that often times especially in today's religiously/spiritual realm do we feel that we can change God's rules??
Why is it that God can reveal something totally different from what his book says to some theologically degreed person and that makes it right.
I just have to know because....I have had some thoughts about what God's word says and he evidently allowed me to stray into some very dangerous waters only for me to realize that it is what is written in those 66 books that matters most to live.
I mean where does it say in the Bible that the ten commandment's are no longer regiments for our daily living.
If the Golden Rule: Do Unto Others as You would have Others do Unto you APPLIES....then the first ten commandment's apply right?!
Okay, so when did it become okay to fornicate before being married? Where is it written???
When did Sunday become a day of rest and worship instead of the Sabbath(Shabbot) which is Saturday....Where in the Bible is it WRITTEN?
Where is it written that it is okay for women not to cover there bodies, and to look extravagant and to spend lots of money on expensive clothing???
Where is it written that it is okay to drink and party and yet still be set apart???
Where is it written that it is okay not to be submissive to your husband?
Where is it written that you CAN GET A DIVORCE IF YOU WANT To???
Where did this world go wrong?
Where is it written that it is okay to listen to the WORLDS music??
Okay Ladies:
Where does it say that you must wear make up and earrings and expensive jewelry and shoes with pocket books to match and the most expensive perfumes and the newest car with the fanciest phone???
If the WORD of GOD says that these things are a requirement to be blessed then I want to see it.
Where does the word say that the rich will definitely go to heaven?
Shouldn't Heaven be your number one concern while making your decisions in life....what if you applied every decision to will this get me through the pearly gates of Heaven.....how would your life be different?
Okay please comment because I just have to know the answers to these questions.

What I learned from My Children
What I learned from my children today is that we are often times like them….without rules and regulations (Mom &Dad’s Laws), and discipline we run wild and act any way we want….and that is not how God intended.
I realized that without the law or without discipline we could easily die, for example if I just let my youngest daughter run in the street and I see a car coming and I don’t yell at her to stop and run after her….then she could get killed, yet if I yell at her and go after her and she stops and gets a spanking for running in the street and almost getting killed she know not to do it again.
It is much like the Laws that God has set up for us to follow. For Instant the Sabbath….if we don’t observe it then we will get burnt out and tired yet if we do celebrate it then we can be both spiritually and physically restored.
If we don’t have laws to govern us then we have the potential to be seriously harmed or even killed permenantly. God will literally distroy our spirit/soul if we die in our wickedness....I don't know about you but I don't want to know what it would be like for me to die and everything goes black and you don't come back....that is not a good feeling think about it.
I used to think not to long ago that living inside of a religious/spiritual box was a bad thing and that I was very constricting, and now I realize (not that I have always thought it was a bad thing), however, now I realize that having discipline and order in your life brings you peace, and security.
God has provided his word in a Book called the BIBLE which I believe means BASIC-INSTRUCTIONS-BEFORE-LEAVING-EARTH.
10 basic commandments
1 Golden Rule to sum it all up
and we still can't seem to get that right and I can't even get them all right unless I am submissive and prayfull.
And the instructions are so very basic, yet you can’t have the clutter of life which is what I think Yeshua meant when he was talking about the seed being sown amongst the thorns.
I am really at the point where I have found the treasure and I want to sell everything that I have and to go and buy the field.
Mat 13:44 "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

EVERYTHING YOU DON’T
Grandmothers Love (Although I started this post titled as Grandmother's Eulogy)
I learned what love and sacrifice was all about one sleepless night at the old age of 28.
I also learned that it was my Grandmother that taught me what love and sacrifice was.
Love is when you know and feel something is wrong and you pray earnestly.
Love is sacrificing love of another to care for someone dear to thee.
Love is not one fool thing after another….it is two foolish ones after each other.
Sacrifice is when you do without what you want, in order to pay off Debt.
Love is much like sacrifice, she invested in me over time and now I am paying her dividends for being there for me when I didn’t know how to be there for myself.
It was God who placed my Grandmother hear to watch over me….and all of these years I was blaming my mom for not being a good example and the example was placed in my life by God all along.
Sometimes when you think you know it all you don’t….even when it’s right in front of you.
Sometimes when you think you are humble you are not….to think you are humble is a very arrogant thought….
Sometimes when you think you are right you are not.
Sometimes when you think you understand everything you do not….there is always something else to learn…..for knowledge is infinite.
Sometimes when you promise yourself you won’t do something you are lying to yourself even if you really mean it…..
It is truly best to live a quiet life both internally and externally so that you won’t lie to God, Yourself, and others.
Sometimes when you think you have figured it out you haven’t.
Sometimes when life gets you down it is for a reason, a lesson you need to learn and/or teach.

The Journey
The journey to womanhood/motherhood/wiferyhood and every other thing tied into this life is not so simple, yet it can be simplified. It just takes some self disciple ( you can learn about this from the bible, Titus 2 is a good start), build some morals and values and of course pray to God (Adonai, Yah) or which ever language you choose to call HIS name by, anyways pray to God that he helps you stick to your morals and values, in which I hope includes biblical principles for being phyically pure.
Which leads me to a very important topic, MODESTY. What ever happened to it? Okay lets start with the meaning for MODESTY:
mod·es·ty
mod·es·ty [móddəstee]n 1. humility: unwillingness to draw attention to your own achievements or abilities 2. sexual reserve: reserve in appearance, manner, and speech, especially in relation to sexual matters 3. shyness: lack of confidence or assertiveness, with a tendency to embarrass easily 4. simplicity: lack of grandeur or ostentation 5. moderation: moderation in size, scale, or extent

Okay, now that we all know what it is. What can we begin to do if God's word says this:
1Ti 2:9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;
1Ti 2:10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.
Okay, Let's break this down on what decent means exactly of Course I am going to start with the definition and I am not a believer in partial definitions as the full definition helps us to grasp the meaning more fully so hear goes:
de·cent
de·cent [dss'nt]
adj
1.
moral: conforming to accepted standards of moral behavior
It was decent of her to apologize.
2.
good: above average in quality or quantity
one of the few decent restaurants around here
3.
satisfactory: adequate or sufficient in quality
did a decent job
4.
kind: kind, considerate, or generous
5.
sufficiently dressed: fully dressed, as opposed to being naked or wearing only underwear (informal)
Don't come in; I'm not decent!
Okay so by now you may think that I am being kind of harsh, however, if you will notice that I did point out the text that said KIND AND CONSIDERATE.....not just for yourselves but for others as well, and I am now going to use Christ's Golden RULE....LOVE Thy Neighbor as YOURSELF.
So with Christ and God's Golden Rule established...think about how to be kind and considerate in your dress while loving your neighbors as yourself.....
Now put in mind that your neighbors include married men and the wives of the men, yesss the wives of the men that are married. I promised that I am going somewhere with this if you will just give me a few more moments...
Imagine being a wife with your husband and you walk into a room and there are indecently dress women in the room and when I say indecent I mean(Indecently dressed religious/spiritual women in the room to be more specific), Clevage showing, bodies popping out of pants, middrifts showing, short shorts ect.....
How do you think your neighbor feels about you in this specific environment? Your neighbor being the husband and wife couples in the room, the little girls and boys, yet particularly the wives.
Do you think that it is decent to show your bodies in anytype of manner that would be considered indecent regardless to todays rapidly moral declining temporature.
How would you feel if you were the wife in this senario? How difficult did you make it for the husbands mind to stay focus on honoring his wife instead of looking at your outfit? How many arguements do you think you would have had with your husband as a result of looking? Do you know just how visual men are?
What would you differently now that you are aware of how to dress while obeying the Golden Rule?
Does this change your perspective about the way you dress and the way that you carry yourselves?
I know if I were a true follower of Yeshua(Jesus) and a true disciple of his word then I would feel truly convicted if I didn't do everything in my power to follow God's Code for being a Modest Woman.
