So when I see comments that suggest you're not being modest, I'm a little well.......anyway, I think your outfit looks very nice and summery while still holding to YOUR modest standards. <br /><br />I've also noticed a lot of younger women who follow your blog and are practicing the idea of modesty, you're a role model in dress, word, and even reaction as shown in your reply above. <br /><br />Keep it up!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102927725582299952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-57052084300178623162014-07-28T01:48:12.140-04:002014-07-28T01:48:12.140-04:00Emmy,
There are areas of the Christian life that ...Emmy,<br /><br />There are areas of the Christian life that are black and white. Laws that are in place in God's word--thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not commit adultery... Etc. <br /><br />Then there are concepts that are about heart convictions. These concepts do not provide clear instructions for action. The concept of modesty is one of those heart issues. Modesty simply means "propriety in dress, speech and conduct" (not drawing undue attention to oneself.) One woman would read a verse about modesty and be convicted to cover her body from shoulder to knee, yet another would be convicted to wear a swimsuit like Ashley's.<br /><br />God uses His word to convict His children to create practical applications in many areas where he does not provide a list of rules.<br /><br />Let's take another example of a biblical characteristic like modesty. Let's say the Bible calls us to be "disciplined" as 1 Cor 9:27 says, "But I discipline my body and keep it under control..."<br />One Christian may practically apply this passage that he should run every morning in order to honor God and fully understand "discipline." Should this Christian then expect that because 1 Cor 9:27 says to be "disciplined" all Christians ought to run daily as he does? <br />Absolutely not. <br /> <br />In areas of the Bible that do not provide clear instruction (like modesty or discipline) we cannot add to God's word or law by enforcing our own practical application on another. <br /><br />Just as one Christian may be convicted that "discipline" means running every morning does not mean that Bible commands every believer to run,<br />One Christian may be convicted that "modesty" means covering shoulder to knee does not mean that the Bible commands every believer to adhere to that rule. To do so would be adding to God's word.<br /><br />Though every believer must be concerned with modesty, there is no absolute rule for modesty that one Christian woman can enforce on another. We can only be certain of this-that God calls Christians to be modest so that He receives all the glory and we do not distract others by drawing the attention. I believe Ashley is acting in modesty--actively seeking God's word in her wardrobe choices and striving to point to Him in her blog!Beemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144228826114204856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-46073679705827801572014-07-27T23:36:02.076-04:002014-07-27T23:36:02.076-04:00This bathing suit is beyond adorable!

Please show me in the Bible chapter...I second that. Please show me in the Bible chapter and verse to support your view that women should be covered from shoulder to knee. I have studied the issue of modesty extensively after spending years enslaved in the legalistic movement, and do not find these teachings anywhere. The Bible does speak of teaching for doctrines the commandments of men...it calls it a sin. You are welcome to your personal standards, but do not paint Christian women with such a broad brush. I know many, many Christian women who would have no qualms with anything she posts on this blog. Ashley is a wonderful young woman whose blog is always a blessing, and she shouldn't have to suffer the censorship of legalistic Christians. Rock that swimsuit, girl! :)Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437117457544744702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-2108322565041147692014-07-27T21:56:01.874-04:002014-07-27T21:56:01.874-04:00Emmy, Also may I add to Ashley's comment that ...Emmy, Also may I add to Ashley's comment that the Bible does NOT State "You must be covered from the top of the shoulders to the knees, ( If I am incorrect, please give me the reference to the verse) And you commenting on this post did not, in fact help anything, It actually was kind of rude, Your comment was very legalistic, All Christian women have different views on modesty, You have your convictions, and that is fine, But when you force them on other people as a strict set of rules, (Even though the bible does NOT State it) It becomes legalism.<br /><br />- Vannah Faith Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-2697560086985061472014-07-27T21:31:23.390-04:002014-07-27T21:31:23.390-04:00Hello Emmy, I'm not going to take down the lab...Hello Emmy, I'm not going to take down the label of being a modest fashion blog down from MY blog. To my Dad [who by the way is a strong Christian and runs a Christian ministry] I am following his set of rules of what he considers modest within our household. Heck, my mom sometimes wears leggings with long tunics around the house. Not ALL Christian women dress how you are describe, and my mom is one of the strongest Christian ladies I know. She has been through a lot within her life, and her walk with Christ is strong like a rock. Also, within in my Church I am considered modest. True, not everyone wears pants, sleeveless, shorts, etc...and I'm fine with that. I have friends on both ends of the modesty spectrum, and none of them are any less Christian for the way they dress. I don't judge them, and they don't judge me. <br /><br />~AshleyBramblewood Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867338837999400697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-2618921305648107832014-07-27T17:08:55.163-04:002014-07-27T17:08:55.163-04:00Love what you have here!

While I see the fashion part, I do not believe that the modesty part is up to most Christian women's standards. I feel (and I do speak for other women in my church) that "modesty" is being used very loosely here. For example, many Christian women believe that pants are not appropriate for women because of their provocative nature. Also, Christian women should be covered from the top of the shoulders to the knees. To avoid any confusion, I recommend that you label this a "conservative" fashion blog. Modest is a long stretch for some of these outfits. Have a blessed day!<br /><br />In His Service, <br />EmmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346960377543157190.post-52383732153337055642014-07-27T04:04:34.135-04:002014-07-27T04:04:34.135-04:00This is crazy adorable!

Much better than wrestling with a one piece swimsuit while trying to use the bathroom at the swimming pool:/<br />http://ldsliving.com/images/stories/large/3236.jpgAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03434201341448186460noreply@blogger.com
