For Women Only: An Ordinary Woman's Diet, Fitness, Weight and Beauty Log and Diary

I want to glorify Christ in my body, and I am learning how to do that. My name means "womanly," but what does that mean? When I became a new wife and Christian, I went on a mission to understand Biblical womanhood, focusing on her from the inside. In more recent years, as my body succumbed to the pull of glutony, gravity and aging, I am focusing as well on my physical appearance. I am learning how God would have me live as a beautiful woman (and aren't we all?) in this world for His glory.

The knack

The trick is to wear the right clothes.
Clothes that are fun yet sensible.
Clothes that attract but not seduce.
Clothes that appeal.
No clothes that repeal or make the wrong statement.
It should look easy without you looking easy,
simple without making you look simple.
Clothes.
They may make the girl who knows how to wear them.
Who knows who she is.
Her place in the world.
The seat that is reserved for her.
Not the ones that others may want to grab for.
Her seat.
The chair with the garment of righteouness resting on its back,
the one Christ paid for.
so wear the right clothes and wear them well.
