First, I want to thank all of you that left me encouraging comments on my last post about being convicted to be skirts only. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to leave me your thoughts. If you missed it, you can read it
here. I'm still skirts only and plan to stay that way for good, I'm loving it. I feel such freedom because I no longer have the guilt of not following what I believe God would have me to do. I can't say that I haven't thought of wearing jeans on occasion when that is what would be "normal" for me to wear. For example, last weekend, we helped my sister move but I wore a skirt and no one said a word about it and I was able to do everything I could have done in jeans. Today I helped dh drag some brush to burn and fix our fence and I did so in a skirt and didn't have any problems. Tomorrow we have a big event with our church, it is an outside event with horseback rides, wagon rides, games and lots of stuff to do. It is something that everyone will have jeans on for, but I will be in a skirt. Dd already helped me pick out which one I will wear with my cowboy boots! Maybe I'll take a picture to post so you can see - I'm not trying to be prideful at all, but I thoroughly enjoy seeing pictures of other ladies in modest, long skirts. Also today, I found a bargain on Craigslist and was able to get it this evening.
It is corduroy like material and very comfortable. The skirt is ankle length, which is my preferred length. It was only $5 for the skirt and jacket combo! I can't wait to wear it.
Thank you all for "listening" to me ramble and thank you again for "chatting" with me when you leave a comment.
Blessings,
Rashel
I have worn skirts all my life. I was raised wearing them. I have wore pants once while we were hiking. Then my husband said why are you wearing those when you can eaisly hike in a skirt.I have never worn then since. I do not condem anyone who does thats between them and God. skirts make you feel more feminine anyway. I have always done things in a skirt. My girls wear skirts all the time too. I have them wear leggings under them for modesty reasons. Thats just what we have chosen to do. Keep up the good work. God will bless you for it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post, Rashel. I'm a "full-timer" as well...with the exception of occasionally wearing a dress. :)

Chelle and Lisa, thank you so much for encouraging me in this. I really appreciate it because I honestly have no like minded women near me, I'm the lone ranger when it comes to wearing skirts only around here. I will admit I put on my jeans when I rode my horse yesterday. I don't have culottes yet, so jeans it was for that activity. Thank you again!
