For some crazy, unexplainable reason I've taken on a new, interesting, but difficult challenge in my life. I volunteered (yes, I said volunteered) to take over teaching the Jr. High and High School girls bible class on Wednesday nights at church. These girls have the potential to do great things but need a lot of direction and encouragement to get them to that point. They all struggle with the typical teenage problems but for some reason this group really struggles with modesty. I had a major issue with it just last week with one of the girls. I'm at a loss as to what to do at this point. Nic and I had dinner with some friends last night and some how ended up on this topic. We were all at a loss on how to fix the problem. Every solution we thought of had a negative consequence following it. One of the problems we keep running into is the parents and their lack of care or concern for their daughters choice of clothing. I don't know, I just think back to when I was their age (which wasn't too long ago) and remember how first off my parents wouldn't let me buy risky clothing but they certainly wouldn't of let me walk out of the house with it on. But not only that, I had no desire to wear clothes that would make me look easy or as though I had little or no respect for who I was as a young woman. I just wonder what happened to women's self esteem and self respect. It's really sad to think that these teen girls are the future teachers, mothers, and wives of preachers, deacons, and elders of the church. I guess I felt the need to volunteer so that maybe I could have some kind of positive influence on these girls. I know I am sure going to try. Pray for me!!!
