Thank you so much for this series! I have read your blog for some time, and today I have read all of the postes of this series. Thought it would be fun for you to see that it was read and loved over a year after you wrote it :)
I am a apostolic girl (loves Jesus of all my heart, modest all time wearing skirts/dresses, no make up or jewlery, and uncut hair, you see the picture :) ) , but my family is not modest, or apostolic, and my mum was a single parent, so now getting married in november I am trying to learn some things, and your blog has been a blessing from God!
My mum is great, and she did all she could do, and I am in a good God-loving church, who teaches me (and my fiance too) well, but sometimes I just want to read for my self, study and see how others do things, so thanks again, and God bless you and your family! :)

Our actions certainly do speaker louder than words. We can talk about being Christians all day long but if our actions don't match up, there's little meaning behind them.

I have also noticed the difference between how I'm treated when I'm wearing pants versus skirts! Men are far more likely to be gentlemanly and treat me like a lady when I am in a skirt. It's amazing!

Thank-you for sharing and for the encouragement to be the women God made us to be.

I feel so badly afterwards! I need to pray for God's Grace to come into my mother's heart and teach me different ways to get discipline across to my kiddos.

Thank you so much for all of these posts! They are a wonderful reminder of what we are called to be as Christian wives and mothers. They have truly been inspiring!

Many blessings,
Lisa

Thank you for this series, it has been interesting to read. As you look to November, I do hope you will continue your courtship story – I was particularly enjoying reading that.

Blessings,
Angela

I have noticed that as my dress and demeanor has changed…so has our girls. A good reminder that they see everything that we do (whether we think they do or not).

Keep up the awesome work. God Bless.

We stopped at the gas station for my husband to put gas in the car. While we were parked, a car full of "girls" pulled up beside us. These were young girls, maybe 17 years old. They were all 3 out in their pajamas, they were using foul language that I wouldn't want to hear coming out of a man's mouth, much less out of a young girl's mouth, and they were hitting each other, the way you might see teenage boys doing. I was very disappointed that my 4 year old son witnessed their behavior. I don't want him ever believing that a young lady should act that way. And I hope that my husband and I will set good examples for him so that he will be more and expect more from the young lady he chooses for his wife in the future.
