I came across this hairstyle that I wanted to share. It's so pretty, and you could definitely do this with any type of long hair you have. I will be honest, I am going to try it this weekend for church. We will see how it turns out. Have a Good Weekend Everyone. I hope you are ready to get your praise on for Jesus.
9In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
Apart from being really ugly.. they cost $100-$400.
1 Peter 3:3-4
3Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Is it possible that the length of a person's hair could have anything to do with pleasing God?
You may think it strange, but before you dismiss the question, consider this: "If a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him… If a woman have long hair, it is her glory: for her hair given her a covering (I Corinthian 11:14-15).
In the bible, divinely appointed symbols represent holy things. example; He gave His disciples bread to eat and a cup to drink. The bread, He said, represented His body, and the cup, His blood (I Corinthian 11:23-25).
God has chosen for the length of people's hair to symbolize their relationship to Him and to the authority He has placed over them. This truth is presented in I Corinthian 11:3-16.
I Just wanted to share a couple of casual hairstyles, that are very easy to make. 1. Half-do. These are really easy. Pretty much it's just a bit of hair from the front, rolled or braided back. The first picture (corner, left), is a fish-tail braid and..she tied it together at the back. In the 2nd picture, she just twisted the hair and tied it together at the back, and then just rolled it into a mini bun, and pinned it. In the 3rd, she just pinned the braid across.
2. Braids. These are just your basic braids. They are loose/messy braids to give it a more casual look. You can actually make your braid.. and then just pull some hairs out, to make it look messy.
3. Messy Bun! so.. there's really not much to say.. It's just a pony tail with a really loose bun!
So like I always say.. long is hair is beautiful..very beautiful... but the best part of having long hair is that you can style it anyway you want. This is a blessing and a privilege to us, apostolic women!!!
With respect to humanity, holiness simply means conformity to the character and the will of God. Pursuing holiness, then, involves continually striving to be pleasing to God in every area of life. It means that we must give our greatest consistent effort to apply the principles of God’s Word to our lives.
So WOMEN!... what does God's word say about the way we present ourselves?
"Here's a few of the outward steps we take as Christians ladies to be set a part from the "world" or the society that is against God. We were born this way, and God doesn't make mistakes. We know you don't have to change a thing about you to be beautiful. Be proud that you're a lady, and sport your natural beauty with pride!
Modesty is a given, so this is where it gets more specific.
Everything is to be done with the right heart and spirit. We are not telling you that you must do these things, this video is just educational. It's to help you see where we are coming from when it comes to being "separate from the world"
Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
So that being said, we are here to let you know that you don't have to dress like this....(*ahem*grandma like) to be in Modesty!
Dressing in Modesty and following these standards can be fun too, and our purpose is to prove this to you, and to show the world that as APOSTOLIC women.. we can be stylish and look good too!!
(standards:
Clothing is not to be revealing or tight,
skirts/dresses below knees,
no cleavage,
no jewelry,
no make up,
uncut hair.. etc etc.. sound like alot..
but its not..
its just the natural beauty that God has blessed us with!)
