Great job Melissa!
- and thanks for recommending a good book to reference. I don’t know how similar they may be, but Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships by Chip Ingram is another great read. I love how he gives singles a whole new way to look at dating so they can end up with better results than the current trend.

I am writing curriculum for a mother/daughter life group and I’m so going to use this information (with your permission, of course). Thanks so much for keeping it real.

Melissa, I thought it was a very good article. It is all about motives, what is really in our hearts. It is about identity, knowing that we are daughters and are worth to the Father eternally more than the world tries to convince our daughters. Young girls need the truth, they are looking for direction because it is many times so lacking in even christian homes. Thanks for your voice.

Great post Melissa! I love that you discuss the heart issue in modesty and that you express not just the man’s role but his heart issue as well. Kind of tired of the judgement happening to ladies with pure hearts who either just haven’t been taught how to dress or who are oblivious until the Holy Spirit prompts them to change that area in their life. In the mean time, guys are still responsible to show respect. And Christian ladies are still responsible to walk in love and grace. Love you!

Just getting caught up today on DIB reading. Sorry…yes, i am behind!

I am posting this to Facebook through my eldest daughter, Teighlor. I want her to post it to her friends, and so on and so on. This does not apply to me, but I know a whole for which it does.

Thanks for writing to another sector of DIB’s readership and for following God’s prompting to reach out!

Melissa this is great! Thank you for your vulnerability to share from your heart. I think it’s so important for girls to remember that it’s not just “keeping their virginity” that’s the goal…it’s “keeping their purity”. You have a very compelling way of writing…great job!
