Maddy and I are working through Secret keeper Girl- The Power of True Beauty and Modesty by Dannah Gresh. We are on lesson 4 The Power of Beauty.
We went to the Midtown Scholar Book Store/Coffee/ Gallery. We spent some time looking at Art in the gallery talking about the Gestalt Theory and how to take responsibility in dressing modestly for several reasons but one was so that guys are not tempted to practice the Gestalt theory of intriguing the brain in completing the unfinished image. Also, we looked at art and advertising and discussed how feminine beauty was portrayed and if it was a healthy view of women.
Here Maddy is working in her Secret Keeper Journal. Focusing on Proverbs 5:18-19. Protecting your heart, mind and others by the way you dress to be only intoxicating to one man in your future...your future husband. Saving the deepest secrets of your beauty to intoxicate just your future husband. Deep discussion but so needed in this culture that throws sexual purity and modesty out the window. (very appropriate that our homeless friend, Mr.Spider walked by the coffee shop a little intoxicated as I was giving the definition of intoxication)
Reading and thinking.......
We headed home and listened to the CD as Rebecca St. James shared a story. We prayed together and wrapped up a very special night.
May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer.....may you ever be captivated by her love" Proverbs 5:18-19
"Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" 1 Samuel 16:7b
