my oldest daughter is 18 now, she has chosen to wear skirts as her main attire... she just prefers them... she can make that hair of hers look like miss patty pentecost.. I call her that often. I think she just likes to fit in too..and she isn't intimidated by anyone, she has her beliefs and she stands up for them in public school.
that's a good girl! that would make grandpa Reading Proud!!!

I miss your girls and love them very much. Hard to believe they are so grown already!
Becca also isn't intimidated. She just made a portfolio for school about important things in her life. She chose the usual...money, a career, music, hunting and fishing...but she put on one entire side all about church and her youth leader...LadyRev. She also put verses on there that were important to her. I was shocked to read them.
They were all verses about obeying your parents!
Her career teacher asked her about her faith and how important it was. Becca told her that living for God was the most important thing to her and she was actively involved in her church. I was proud of her. She witnesses to kids all the time and isn't ashamed.
I'm proud of her. A year ago she wouldn't clap, sing, and would rather just sit in church. Now, she claps, sings, worships, and is an altar worker. I love it.

When and How did it happen?
What was the first thing you did (what standard did you do away with first)??
How did you feel??
It started for me in October of last year. Now, I did not 'drop standards', but instead I saw that holiness was something that Christ gave at salvation. This led me to see more and more believers as just that, believers. I found that the evidence of a believer was the manifest fruit of the Spirit in their life.
At first, I was a bit skeptical. But, as time passed and I continued on the journey I have been on, I saw that standards are OK, so long as I dare not try to make clones out of people. I can and do have standards, but they are personal convictions. They are not based on Old Covenant Law, which are applied as needed, and not in whole. They are based on conviction and discernment.

Well, Ferd, I would say it happened about the same time. I still held to some of the old religion, but God dealt with me through some studying and I was able to painfully conform to what the Word truly said about salvation.
