Growing To Be A Virtuous Lady

Your dressing as a factor of your virtuousness.

Growing To Be A Virtuous Lady
logos bible software

As I grew up, I learnt that being a lady is a precious honor and I have decided that in this lifetime I must make good use of this rare honor. I and my friend, Damiloju wrote this article and will love to share with all ladies why it is necessary to be decent and how that can prevent so many uncalled situations.

Teach young ladies that everything covered is precious. A modestly dressed woman is like a pearl in its shell. "Women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel with modesty and self control" 2Tim 2:9.

Ladies you don't have to dress naked to get a man's attention. Real men don't like their woman dressed like she is for sale. In today's world we are being brainwashed that our beauty comes out when we dress openly and we are more noticed and recognized. People might say that, but as a virtuous lady who would love to please God and not people, you need to stand firm, dress moderately and become a great model for other females to follow. I will share some bible verses with you all and relate them to our lives as PRECIOUS JEWELS.

"It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings to search out a matter." Proverbs 25:2

'As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.' Proverbs 11:22

It is quite impossible to find precious beautiful stones just anywhere, neither is it possible to find pearls on the surface of land or water; one has to dig deep to find them. It is also impossible to have academic success by being a shallow reader, you have to read deep and wide to have even academic excellence. It is quite obvious that nothing important or things considered of great value can be found just on any surface.

I wish to liken the above scenario to our bodies. Just as important and precious things shouldn't be seen just anywhere, important and private part of our body should not be seen just anywhere.

It is easy to see just ordinary ordinary stones anywhere, exposing your body parts just means you don't consider them precious.

Our bodies are God's own temple, where He dwells. The earlier we come to the realization of this fact, the better. God actually owns our bodies, we owe all to him, even our bodies. We must protect our bodies as as God's property.

If it's about getting a man's attention, a pure kind heart is enough to get a man's attention, any body's attention actually, but should we actually seek men's attention? Seek God and all will fall in place. Every woman in life is positioned for great things and your outside looks really speaks of who you really are.

Dress modestly, dress to please God, not the world.

LIVE AS A PRECIOUS PEARL!!!!!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
