Sunday Best 4/10/2011

I was tempted to wear pants today, but Marc's bestfriend was speaking at our morning service and I worried that his wife would wear a dress because she thought I would. She knows me better then I thought because she wore pants! LOL

This is not the first time we have done this. When they were stationed in Hawaii Marc and I got the opportunity to visit them and we knew in advance that their services were very casual, but because Glen knew that Marc wore suits to church they dressed up to make us more comfortable. The only problem is that we dressed casual to fit in with them.

They did again when Marc and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. Again they dressed up because they just knew Marc and I would be dressed up for such a special occasion. But because I had picked a tropical theme for our anniversary we were wearing attire to fit the theme.

I honestly don't have a problem with dressing up. And if its a really special occasion that is formal I am willing to go the extra mile when I step out with my very style conscience husband. I just don't want women who walk into our church for the first time to feel like they have to "dress up" like the "First Lady" in order to be accepted by Christ. Because lets face it, its not about us its about him. There is nothing wrong with fashion, but never let it hinder or stop you from establishing a relationship with Christ Jesus! God does not care what you are wearing on the outside, he cares about whats on the inside! It's the heart that matters.
