Dressing for God's perfect plan

"Amy, what do you think of this dress?" She pauses, turning to consult her annoyed friend. "Amy! C'mon seriously, which dress?" Amy sits up after have falling asleep. "Um mm..... I don't really care. Look, we've been sitting here for an hour! The mall is getting impatient, and so am I! Can we just go, please?" Quickly Carmon slips on the blue and green summer dress and her new green high heels. Amy rolls her eyes, "You could not be more obsessed." They both hurry out of the house and into the red sports car. Snatching the keys from Carmon, Amy snorts, "I'm driving, you might break a heel pushing the petals."

For about ten or so minutes the girls talked about different things. Eventually the subject "modesty" came up. Amy started to share her opinion on the subject while Carmon just stayed quiet. Amy continued to talk about modesty like it was something important. I mean, that's what Carmon thought at least. "Seriously? All of these rules, just for clothing. So what's it matter if you show a little more than needed. I mean, sure the dress I'm wearing doesn't really come to my knees, and the top part is low, so what?" Amy smiled and lovingly said, "Carmon, don't think of them as rules. Think of them as opportunities to share what you believe." Rolling her eyes, Carmon laughs, "How does what I wear say anything about what I believe?" Amy continues, "Actually it says a ton! I know this may sound boring, but trust me, it's worth it. When you show "a little too much" it does have an affect on other people. Such as, guys. Sure your dress has a pretty pattern, and us girls may not think anything of it! Guys are totally different! When they see a "little more than needed" (even good Christian guys) they will think things that shouldn't be brought to mind." Carmon paused. This wasn't making any sense! "It's the guys fault if they think things they shouldn't! I should be allowed to wear whatever I want to wear."

Walking into their favorite store, Amy asks Carmon, " Why do you want to wear clothes that make guys stare?" Nodding over at the boy in the corner. "Well," Carmon began, "I kind of like it when they do. It in a way gives me a sense of satisfaction." Amy puts her hand on Carmon's shoulder, "The satisfaction your feeling won't last." Carmon scratched her head. "Hu?" Sitting Carmon down Amy hugged her. "The satisfaction you're getting from stares from guys only draws you closer to what God doesn't want. God wants you to dress modestly and not to give yourself away to just some man. God intended you to marry one man, and for you to love that man. You should not get that kind of affection from anyone else."

Carmon rolled her eyes, "You're going to bring God into this?" With a chuckle Amy said, "Of course! God loves you very much, and has an amazing plan for your life! All you need to do is trust Him to follow through on it. He always will!" Tears streamed down Carmon's faced as she exclaimed, "I have never trusted God! I have always looked for other satisfaction to fill my life! I need Him! I will find all of my satisfaction in Him, but could you give me some more tips on how to dress for God's perfect plan?" The two of them laughed and walked out of the mall.
