Sure it could be smoke and mirrors...but it could also be heartfelt, and the Lord really could be dealing with her, but no, lets toss that aside and talk about how if it was REALLY God she would dispose of all her income earned in this "sinful way", pay her Tithe, etc. What a trip! The spirit gets lost on the letter, and many of these posts are case in point.
I think we are really good at the do's and don'ts, but miss it many times on the spirit issues. It may be God is working a work in a slow step process in this person's life..we ought to at least be greatful she is laying asid some kind of weight and giving God the credit..

For a woman who is used to modeling VS, simply moving to something even a bit more covering probably feels modest. If you give a tank top to a woman from Africa or the Amazon who is used to going topless she probably now feels as covered and "modest" as a Muslim woman in a burka. Modesty is (for the most part) relative. Basically I am agreeing with your post 100%.
