A Smackeral Of Life

Last week we talked about the different types of modesty. (If you missed last weeks Part 1, be sure to click here .) I added some cute little funny pics and GIFs and I also added, to each, what I thought those definitions mean. This week, I thought we should focus on the most important part of  modesty. What the bible has to say about each type! So, without further ado...Modest Is Hottest Part 2! _____________________________________________________ Definition #1-  The quality or state of being unassuming or moderate in the  estimation of one's abilities So last week I basically talked about how this definition of modesty pertains to how we view both ourselves and others. Not wanting to raise ourselves up in order to gain attention or make ourselves feel better. Let's see what the Bible says regarding these things....

If you couldn't tell by the whole "(Part 1)" thing, I've decided to turn this into a bit of a series.

As many of you know, I lived in Haiti for almost 6 months. I learned the language, the culture and I learned of the poverty. I came to love the children, the women and the missionaries I worked with.

This isn't a long blog, merely just one to show you some pictures of the people and place that I love. Please join me in praying for Haiti this week and even longer than that. Yes, there is a hurricane right now, but Haiti is a constant hurricane of spiritual and physical battle between voodoo and Christianity and poverty and richness. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for this amazing place that has captured my heart! Mwen Renmen Ou Ayiti
