Skirts: things I've learned about them


Yesterday I posted the reason why I wear skirts
Today I'm going to talk about things I've learned about and while wearing them.

One of the things I've learned is: if it is a windy day, do NOT wear a long full skirt. You will either have issues with it, or get blown away (I know this from experience). Another thing I've learned, observed and heard, is depending on the type of work, skirts can be a hindrance. That is pretty much is self-explanatory. 
 
Skirts can also be thought of as "cool". I have had a few people tell me that they are "awesome" and that they are "cool to be different." A current clothing trend is the maxi skirt. They are usually long, feminine, quite graceful, and in style. Because they are in style, skirt wearing is not completely old-fashioned.

 The most interesting thing I've learned while wearing skirts is respect that is garnered. Respect may seem like a thing of the past, but it is still relevant today. I have had several young men respect and treat me differently than other young ladies because of the skirts I've worn. (Once again I will say, I will not judge you if you wear pants). I had a young man once tell me that when ladies wear skirts, he finds it easier to focus on the lady he is talking to. I thought about what he said and found that it was very true. 
 
Now you may think I'm trying to convict people, but I'm not. I'm just honestly stating things I've learned. I must also add that I have not brought bible verses into these posts because quite often they are used out of context or they come across sounding hypocritical. If you have any questions, comments, small animals or gardening tips, feel free to leave a comment!

A Journey of Becoming a Young Woman of Faith - #10 Homemaker


Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.


{This devotion is different so hang with me!}


As a homemaker I do many things. Join me as I do the laundry.


It is quiet; in some ways. I am preparing to hang up dresses and skirts. I walk around the house rounding up the hangers. My sister is working on her homework with Mom while the little 3 play in the living room. 


Soon I have handfuls of hangers. Each one is different than the one before. 


I pile them on my bed. The colors are bright and cheerful. In the stillness of my room. I savor the moment. 


 The camera is nearby so I grab it. The natural light shines on them creating a mosaic. I hear the gentle chatter downstairs.


As I slip each dress or skirt on a hanger I try to make sure that they coordinate with the dress or skirt that is going on it.


 I'm working along when I stopped and thought about the verse I was considering for today. In the quiet of my room it clicked.


We are like the hangers, each different in size, shape, and color. Yet they are for the same purpose.


We are each different in size, shape, and color. Yet we are all for the same purpose. We all work together to serve God by serving others. 


I challenge you to serve God by serving others in a unique way today.
