It's been hard to find a middle ground, but I'm getting there. You always look lovely in your photos; I think you've got it down perfect! :) If you don't mind, I'd like to link to this post on my blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635258406635131731.post-23499156168183127922008-04-01T10:15:00.000-07:002008-04-01T10:15:00.000-07:00This is a thoughtful, well written and eloquent po...This is a thoughtful, well written and eloquent post Lauren Christine! I have to thank you for taking the time to voice a modest opinion on (no pun intended) a much needed subject... Because I live here in the states, I'll refer to American ladies. I feel that sadly our culture has polluted the minds and hearts of our women. Hollywood especially has written and engraved in the hearts of so many women that certain dress is not only acceptable, but to a degree, required in order to be "someone". All while trying to "fit in" many young women completely throw out all morals and common sense, just to get noticed.<BR/>If more women such as yourself would be brave and speak the truth gently and kindly for what it is, than maybe, just maybe it would start to change the hearts of the women of this nation.<BR/>Thank you, this was a pleasure to read!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635258406635131731.post-29570115641656200872008-04-01T09:04:00.000-07:002008-04-01T09:04:00.000-07:00I am so blessed to have such a wonderful wife.Than...I am so blessed to have such a wonderful wife.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your modesty.<BR/><BR/>I love you,<BR/>ColinColinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00068986546644224644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635258406635131731.post-57884649035631401612008-03-31T21:05:00.000-07:002008-03-31T21:05:00.000-07:00Very good post... your position on modesty just ab...Very good post... your position on modesty just about mirrors mine (or mine mirrors yours C:). I want to err on the side of caution, too. My husband is with yours... he doesn't want anyone else to see "what's his." I'm thankful for that. I think husbands/boyfriends who don't care feel like it's okay for their wives to be immodest because they want to look at other girls. Just my philosophy... <BR/><BR/>Anyways, Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983959802378587038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635258406635131731.post-50191663394259992902008-03-31T19:03:00.000-07:002008-03-31T19:03:00.000-07:00What a blessing to hear your heart and agree with ...What a blessing to hear your heart and agree with what you said!

I did not name call in the post, and I did not judge others. It was written in a spirit of humility and knowing the grace that has been shown to me. If you would like to discuss any more, I hope you will bravely do so with your name, and we can discuss the differences in our opinions like Sisters in Christ. <BR/><BR/> Respectfully, <BR/> Mrs. Lauren ChristineLauren Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726675567610125773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635258406635131731.post-56906397380112752472008-03-31T09:35:00.000-07:002008-03-31T09:35:00.000-07:00Thank you for this post, Lauren.

The links you posted are some of the very same ones that helped me on my road to modesty as well! :) Modesty for me continues to still be a struggle as I let myself 'lapse' at times, but praise God for His Spirit of conviction, for His guidance and enabling, and for other like-minded ladies like who continue to encourage me in becoming more Christ-like in my dress.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635258406635131731.post-8682130418702400382008-03-28T18:34:00.000-07:002008-03-28T18:34:00.000-07:00This is wonderful, dear Lauren!
