Single, Saved...Sexy??? (#WifeWorthy Diaries)

Sexy is in the eye of the beholder. Or is that beauty? If you are a single, saved woman, should you be sexy?

I have no idea.

It 's not because I haven't thought about it, or because I don't have an opinion, because I do. But the thing about writing a blog for Christian women is, I want to be objective, but still be myself. Which is not the easiest thing in the world for me. And this topic will cause some eyebrows to raise but, I wouldn't be me if I didn't go against the grain. So let's start with what the Bible says, and then I'll give you what I've got. Okedoke?

Proverbs 18:22

"The man who finds a wife finds a treasure,
    and he receives favor from the Lord."

Anyhoo...
 

If a man is to find you, truth is he will find you. Doesn't matter what you wear or how you look. If God has whispered your name in a man's ear, you are the only person that he sees. He might look at other women, but you are the only one that he sees. So is it necessary to run out and by a new wardrobe and get a makeover in order to "catch" a man?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
 

Being sexy is less about fishnets and stilettos and more about how you feel about yourself. I do not find anything wrong with and ADULT woman feeling good about herself. So what if she does wear lace underwear? So what if her bra is red? As long as she knows that no one is seeing her undergarments but her and the woman that is responsible for her laundry, I see no issue. Are these really valid points for whether a woman should be sexy if she loves God and isn't married?

Having sex and being sexy are 2 totally different things. I looked the word "sexy" up in the dictionary and, while one of the definitions does say that it is concerned with sex (risqué), the other definition says: "exciting, appealing, glamorous". Is it a crime for a woman to be exciting? Appealing? Glamorous? My mind tells me no. My heart tells me no.

Being a saved woman means that a woman has accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior, loves God and is doing everything that she can do to serve Him the say that she wants to.

A woman can be sexy and be fully clothed from head to toe. She does not have to show cleavage in order to be considered appealing. She does not need to wear a lot of makeup to be glamorous. She does not need to "turn up" in the club every weekend to be exciting. A real woman, a lady, stimulates people with her mind. She is attractive because of her positive attitude. She is desirable because she knows both who and what she is. She is interesting because she is intelligent. And she is valuable because she knows that she does not have to take all of her clothes off, fornicate or be promiscuous in order to be sexy.

In my lowly opinion, sexy is a state of mind. I love the Lord as much as I possibly can, and I am confident in my appearance, my attitude and my identity. And I have on all of my clothes!!!

 If that isn't sexy, I don't know what is...
