"Nonsense, I really don't understand why people behave senseless. Some people can't just think on their own" Timileyin was shouting and talking to herself as she hissed and slammed the door, as she entered the house. Moyinoluwa her friend was scared and confused as she lifted her face towards her direction
"What's going on here? Can someone please explain? Moyinoluwa asked confusedly
" Moyin, you won't believe what happened to me. It's like some people don't have eyes and they are....Timileyin retracted her words and sat down
"Can you at least, calmly explain yourself because I don't still understand? Obviously, I know there is a lot to say" Moyin said
"Okay...let me make myself clear. I was coming back from the conference I told you about and I gently entered a bike to fasten my journey o... She paused and was shaking her legs. What I am about to say, is still making me angry" Timileyin said
"Just say it" Moyinoluwa said as she was waiting patiently
"Can you believe after getting down from the bike, I haven't even taking much steps when I received a tap on my butt. I turned back to check who, only to realize it was the useless bike man and can you believe the man was still smiling. He was even tonguing out and he said " Je gbe e lole (let me take you home)" Timileyin said angrily
"What did you say and do? Moyin asked curiously
" I can't believe you are asking me all these? I expected more from you or don't you get what I am saying" Moyin said angrily
"Of course I do, just answer me first. What did you do and say? Moyin asked again
"Well, I made him realize I am not the kind of lady he thinks I am. I am a Christian and whatever intention or impression he has towards me, is wrong. I came out clearly to him" Timileyin said as she looked away
"You aren't through yet...so what did he say? What was his response? Moyin asked and starred at her
"Seriously Moyin, you are unbelievable. Is this what you ought to say? Who are you supporting? Me or him? Timileyin asked as she faced her
" Timileyin, answer my question first. What was his response? She asked again
"Is response was the reason why I am more angry. Can you believe that man was comparing me with one of his regular. He said "I know your type. How will you say you are a Christian and dress like this or you are a coded Christian (In between)" and he winked at me.
Can you believe that? And I insulted him and walked away, well he caused it. Please what is wrong with my dressing. Is it a sin to dress sharply. At least none complained at the Conference about my dressing" Timileyin said as she stood up and turned around
Moyinoluwa looked at her, smiled and said "Interesting, the bike man was right. He spoke like the way you dressed. I am sure, he must have seen other ladies before he tapped your butt.
Obviously, he thought you were also part of them because of your dressing. If I was at home when you were going out, I wouldn't have allowed you go out like this.
The people at the conference, might not come to meet you because I am sure, they are use to people who dresses like that and they are minding their business"
"So are you saying I am guilty? And the bike man, has the right to tap my butt? Timileyin asked angrily
" No, he didn't but you created the right for him to do that through your dressing" Moyinoluwa said
My Dear Sisters,
I understand the feeling of "I want to slay, I want to look nice and sweet" but all this can still be attain by moderation.
Be modest and don't be loose in your dressing. Your dressing, also speak loud of who you are. A lot of people ought to be approved but their dressing, disapproved them!
I know you want to be a slayonce Christian, a good and attractive sisters. You can still be that, if you build your dress sense. Don't be conformed to this world and that include your dressing. Let your dressing speak of you and your heavenly father.
A lot of people started well but got caught up along the way. This is an opportunity to come back. Of course, everyone desire to look good and attractive but it's not enough to look sweet, you must be presentable!
Rob off the mentality of I can still dress like that and those that knows me, will know me. No! Come out of that mentality. Your dressing is also is an identity of what you represent. The way you dress, reveals your heart (the intent of your thoughts for dressing in such way).
Your dressing must be appreciated and not depreciated..
"Modesty, isn't about hiding ourselves. It's about revealing dignity" Jessica Rey.
1 Tim 2:9-10. The best way to dress is Modestly!
God bless you and I love you all...
