Let Them See Jesus!

What’s the first thing you want a man to think of when he sees you? The way you dress tells a whole lot about the answer to that question. If we as Christian women dress to try to get guys attention then we will get that attention. They might be thinking really nice or flattering remarks about you. They might even tell you some.

Enjoying a cozy Tea Party with friends or sisters. 6. Sitting for a nice cup of hot Chocolate to warm my bones after coming in from the biting cold a
