I was recently reading about Charles Grandison Finney in one of my schoolbooks, and it was so interesting that I went on the Internet to see if I could find out more about him. I found his memoirs and starting reading. When I came upon his account of his conversion, I was instantly engrossed. His story is amazing and I really recommend it.

I have read Charles Finney, and really appreciate what he has to say. I like his bio too!
Have you ever seen the Movie,The End of the Spear, the story about Jim Elliot, and his companions. It was a really inspiring story of his family and how they coped with their unexpected death, and the conversion of the natives that killed them! Really great movie! I want a copy for my library!

I haven't heard of Charles Finney before but I will read the links you posted.
I think it's really cool that you girls are taking a stand for modesty. I'm actually having a hard time finding clothes that are modest and affordable in today's world, especially more so in the place I live in, Singapore. A big headache would be my graduation night, prom night, that's coming up, where girls are expected to dress up in elegant formal dresses. The dresses that I saw were all basically at least a little revealing, they were mainly tube dresses! Of course, I can always get a shawl and cover up but it is quite hard to get one that actually goes with the dress and is affordable. ): Therefore I appluad your courage for standing up and for your stand on modesty. If I could, i would also love to sew my own dress, but sad to say, time is hard to find.
Oh and I want to ask Anna where she has found her purity ring! I like hers a lot and I would love to get one of similar simple design, to remind me at all times, the purity promise I have given to God.
If its possible, I hope Anna will leave me her reply at:

I would love for all 3 of you beautiful maidens to leave me comments on my tagboard. As sisters-in-Christ, you 3 have been of great inspiration and encouragement to me!
Oh by the way, I would encourage you all to get to know Jim and Elisabeth Eilliot's love story, the story of how God worked a miracle through them! It's really inspiring and lovely!
Love, cassandra, your sister-in-Christ. (Singapore) <3!
Cassandra, nice to hear from you! It's neat that you live in Singapore! My grandparents were actually missionaries there, many years ago.
I hope you find a pretty dress - it is disheartening to see many of the fancy dresses today. Sewing does take time. There's some beautiful dresses here: http://totallymodest.com/index.html but they are quite expensive! Perhaps you can wear one using a shawl or something, as you mentioned.
I've read Passion and Purity by Elisabeth Elliot, and heard more of her and Jim's story. I agree - it's wonderful!
God bless you!
