Alright, we all know that sometimes us girls don't always dress appropriately, we might have some bra straps hanging out or maybe our our skinny jeans are to skinny. I know my mom is always telling to pull my shirt up because my straps are showing and I know that I need to change that! It's not a Godly thing to do, to always be wearing short shorts and having bra straps hang out. There are alot of teens that do that and I am one of them, I need to change that and ask God for help. You don't have to wear like turtle-necks all the time, you just need to look at yourslef in the mirror and say 'Is this right to wear, does it look okay and does God want me dressing like this?" Just watch what you wear. Girls always say "you have to sacrifice for fashion" and that's true, you do, but not being all hottie-tottie with your fashion. If your straps are showing and you can't find anything to do to fix it, you can go to stores and find 'strap hiders'. It's a good idea to look clean as a Chrisitian, it's represents purity and innoscence. You can dress your best but making sure your looking okay comes first!

Sometimes we don't realize how our words can affect people. We don't think before we speak and we end up just saying something totally worng or hurtful. We really need to be careful about everything we say. Here are some great verses about how powerful the things you say can be. I got this out of James chapter 3. Verse 5-6 say...."Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small park. ........It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell." There are so many ways we can use our tongue for ungodly reasons. Things like gossip, cussing, lying, and more. Something girls most often struggle with is gossip. I definitely struggle with that. But it's not something we should be doing, sure a girl can't live without gossip, but you can cut back way more! I know that we all can and it can help us become more Godly women. I remember reading somewhere in the Bible where it says we use the same mouth to curse and praise the Lord at the same time. But isn't that insane! We go and say "I hate you and never won't to speak to you again!" to our parents and then we sing "Holy is the Lord, God all mighty..." in chapel! The only thing to do is pray! The next time something comes up where you know you need to tame your tongue, ask God to help you to do the right thing! Jesus is with you every step of the way and will ALWAYS be there to help you make the right decisions.
