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%.

My sister is getting a concealed weapons permit because men yell things at her when the see her out running. I suggested maybe she should run in the gym where she is safer. How can you run down the street with a good deal of your skin showing and not expect worldly men to cat call?

1 Timothy 2:8-10

8 I desire then that (A)in every place the men should pray, (B)lifting (C)holy hands without anger or quarreling; 9 likewise also (D)that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 (E)but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.

It is like the "blessed" woman who wears the tight t-shirt with the words "Yes, they're real!" written across the front. On a few occasions when talking to a person like that I've made it obvious I was reading it rather then letting them see you do the quick 1/4 second glance.

I commend this woman whether or not she gives money to charitable things, besides who says she isn't?

Isn't this where Rhoni would pop on and claim all men beasts for daring to look regardless of what they were wearing?

(I really liked her... I just remember her being rather extreme on this one issue. Is she still around on any other boards?)

I see her on FB. She seems to be doing well.

Is she single?

I am not faulting her for taking a step, however, I am going to wait until we see how far this goes. I would like to see her continue on this path until she leaves modelling all together.

Well, I for one say PRAISE THE LORD! She became convicted and is moving in the right direction. There's nothing wrong with modeling as long as you don't model immodest clothes. I believe God is working on this young lady and I applaud her decision.

I agree totally.

Just God forbid she asks to be on a L&T platform...
