I have been and Adventist for years now and never had the modesty message. I found it quite by accident. I had always been curious about a deeper study in the way we are to wear our hair and make up and jewelry but never really got into it. Reason is because once I accepted the message of not adorning myself that was it. I was convicted from the start. I haven't worn jewelry for almost 7 years. No make up either, though for events I wear lashes and eyeliner only because my eyes seem to disappear in pictures.
As for my hair I am natural and never wanted to change, I never liked bright colors or blond for my hair, I can't in my own mind find a reason for being blond other then I want others to admire me and to admire myself. For me that was the one thing I want to avoid. drawing attention to myself, especially because I lived in the city and I use to take public transportation and I witness violence and robbery on one to many occasions.
Many other religions practice modesty (perhaps in dress and not mouth) but nonetheless it is practiced. Its been on my heart. I imagine it would take deeper study as to how to go about it and the concrete reasons for it. I spoke to my daughters and they said no. Which I am not judging anyone. but it is for those who seek to draw closer to God, words for thought and consideration. Many in my faith do not practice modesty perhaps this is a reason why it bothered me so much. the shoes that are worn in service are very sexual in nature, very true. I think they are cute but then I think sexy too and I can't see where that can be right in the house of God. the skirts and dress or way to short. I just feel so uncomfortable and I never really cared before. So it was a shock and yet not a shock to see there is a message, there is a teaching in the bible of how woman are to dress.
As more clothes come off unsaved, more clothes should come on the Christian woman.
I found some interesting websites for modest clothing. Of course more research is needed but I welcome others thoughts on this for or against, though against isn't going to change my mind. it will help me to reaffirm why I want to take this step in my life. I will be facing some serious ridicule from my family and want to start preparing and preparing those who want to go this direction with me.
it clearly is step out on faith. I haven't posted my bases for this decision because I have not mapped it out yet. I just know that once again I was convicted from the very start that I needed to change my style of dress and stop wearing pants.
