Reminds me of a Bible verse

1 Peter 3:3-4: " Do not let your adorning be external- the braiding of hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of clothing-but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."

which reminds me, ladies, when you dress, you can either do it for man's glory or God's glory.

have you ever thought: WHY can't i wear what everyone else is wearing? well, i like fashion, so if everyone else is wearing it, it might mean i'm wearing it too. BUT you know that probably not everyone is wearing it. i always go shopping with my mom and she makes sure that what i wear is honoring to God and that it is modest. and i'm glad she does...if it is not modest then we either pitch it or if it can be "fixed," i wear a tank top with a high neck.

in the book i mentioned last post, Secret Keeper, their Secret Weapon for modesty is a tank top!! you can find them in the men's department at some stores, but mostly look for ones with a higher neck than the shirt you are wearing now. keep your eyes open. they are all around you. i found some at wally world for 5 bucks a piece. they pass the modesty test from Secret Keeper. when you get the book, make sure to take the test. it really opened my eyes on what i wear and how to keep from wearing that.

now riddle me this: why are we so anxious about what we wear? is it because we want to impress the cute boy at school? at church? to keep up with the fashion? well, whatever the reason, we need to make sure that what we wear is pleasing to God. for "charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised (Proverbs 31:30)." and since we are not our own, we have to praise God with WHATEVER we wear.

you know those old women on tv and how they have to wear cream to make themselves look young again? well, that's what this verse means. beauty will go away and charm tricks you into thinking that it will be forever. but it will not be forever. that's why we have to glorify God with our beauty NOW and not tomorrow because, you never know, tomorrow may not come.....

It took us forever to find the place. I wanted to make it for story time, qadarullaah, we missed it. We were told that the library was located on the first floor of the "My Elegant Home" showroom on Rawdhah St. In reality, you have to enter on the right side of the plaza where Berlitz is then, take the elevator up to the first floor. 

I'm holding a GIRLICIOUS dance workshop this Saturday July 26th.

It’s summer! And it’s time to let your hair down.

The class will start with a bit of my fun and original Body Conditioning By Dancers class for free.

If you, or any of your girlfriends are looking for a way to stay fit this summer and bring out the sexy moves in you, then you WON'T want to miss this event.

Spread the word!

It's summer! And it's time to let loose!

So if you need an "excuse" to let your hair down and work some sexy dance moves... then you need to get involved in Eva Redpath's GIRLICIOUS dance workshop. She's a pro. And she's holding it this Saturday July 26th.

Unfortunately, I won't be there... because I'm a boy. Girls only. :-( But if you know any ladies willing to give it a try (having fun, laughing, getting in shape, and having more fun) then spread the word.

"When God relates people, it is for increased personal strength, spiritual growth, and kingdom purposes."

"Their season of nurture may be short, but it must be potent and concentrated if this generation of promise is to accomplish the God-breathed destinies woven into the fabric of their beings."

"Know the heart is more powerful than a nation. What government has ever held the power to change the human heart? You can control the actions of people by limiting their liberties, but you cannot, with all the outward restrictions, chain the heart. Kingdoms rise and fall as time ebbs and flows, but the heart is forever. God alone knows the heart and has the power to truly change it."

"But that night... when i saw her i realized it was okay just to be myself: free and lost in worship."

"The right thing at the wrong time is still a disconnect!"

"The season of networking just to climb the social ladder is over. God is toppling these ladders. They are propped up against frail, man-made structures, but God is building His house with living stones that have been honed accurately and fitted togeher precisely."

"To be true to yourself, you must be faithful, loyal, and honest with your heart."

"The greatest present she ever gave me was her belief in the calling on my life. She chose to see something in me that others had missed. Or perhaps it was hers alone to see in that season. Heaven only knows, but she loved me well."

"It is not enough to intercede if you do not recognize or respond to the needs of the daughters who cross your path each day."

"Sisters, we need to start clapping for one another!"

Now only if I could translate that kind of knowledge into a marketable skill. My mom said that once. I do believe that every person has at least one thing they can do better than most people.  Mine falls somewhere between fixing paper jams, identifying eyeshadows, and deciphering letters written in obscure languages. But I can still find someone who does all of these better. Oh well.

The registry’s findings come three days before a conference on women’s health in Jeddah. Princess Al-Anoud bint Abdullah, the wife of Makkah governor, will open the conference on Monday.

More than 300 women doctors and specialists are expected to participate in the four-day conference to be held at Lailaty Hall. Organized by King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center in Jeddah, the conference will include awareness programs on breast cancer, heart diseases, AIDS and family violence.

It will also offer free diagnosis for breast cancer, blood pressure, cholesterol, and hepatitis-B, organizers said. ]]>
