Don't you love how just because people aren't members doesn't mean they don't notice and appreciate things that we try to live by?
For example.
I was talking to a boy from school, and we were joking about an incident last year that had actually come off of something more serious. Brief less important background that will make it make more sense is this, the 3 girls taking classes at the community college last year - along with one boy, a different boy that doesn't go to my school anymore - were informed to be careful that we were modest in our behavior and dress while there because apparently there was a perv there who was not being appropriate in talking about us.... kind of awkward, unfortunate and generally something to avoid if possible. Anyway, after we got past the seriousness in that conversation where my teacher told the boy we were with that he should stick up for us if needed, we teased our teacher that if she would loan Braden some booty shorts he could just distract the pervert and we could run away. Of course, we were joking, and I'm definitely sure that my catholic teacher doesn't wear booty shorts. Besides that, it obviously wouldn't solve the problem. We were just having a laugh. Anyway, when I was talking to this other guy from school, we were joking about that conversation and then he told me something along the lines of "I don't like short shorts tbh" and that they were pointless. It was nice to realize that I'd already been honest about my beliefs in a lot of different cases, and here was someone not a member of any church, but that still appreciated girls' modesty. SO, not just us, but people outside the church appreciate it darlings, and they're willing to say so. There you go, an example of someone else being honest about what they think about something. So refreshing.
Integrity is important! Be modest and don't be afraid to say why. Other people appreciate it too. =)
