I remember the pride and arrogance prior to being saved especially when your body gets right! The Lord wants us to be humble especially if you’re married. THAT’s for my mann and if you’re single, THAT’s for God.
"you don't need to clean yourself up to come to Jesus" Girl you got me tearing up. I love the Lord with all my heart and I've been a Christian my whole life but hearing about his endless love! Still gets me! He loves you as you are 🎉🎉❤❤❤
Maya, you know girl, every time I look at you and listen to you speak about the lord, I always think to myself “I want to have what she has”. That i can’t explain why, but just know, the holy sprit don’t lie. He has his anointed ones and they are like a light in the darkness. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you as a vessel for His work.
Summer of 2022 I was so vain and so obsessed with my body to a point where I achieved the body of my dreams and it still wasn’t enough. God humbled me and I had to go through illness, scoliosis diagnosis and so many other illness to a point where I’m now down to a healthy weight losing fat and gaining muscle. Now I have the itch to cover up more going to the gym more than ever. I guess from my history of having horrible body image and being obsessive over it. I will admit when I wasn’t looking at a mirror every single time getting dressed away from a mirror and not so much focusing on aesthetics the results and the journey were much more appreciated down the line. Please honor your temple instead of idolizing a number
Thank you so much for this video! I recently gave my life to Christ completely, and I’ve still been working on letting God into every area of my life especially modesty, so this was super helpful 💕
I became Born Again at age 50. I always thought it was an overnight instant transformation lol but it is a journey. And an awesome one. Remember to have patience with yourself and give yourself grace, just like He does.
i completely get it your point with modesty for me it was being an exhibitionist i wanted to be seen admired and lusted after but after growing in Christ all i want ppl to see is Christ and Him glorified He tutored me in how to cloth myself with balance grace and beauty
Hey! Can i also wear an oversized shirt what covers the butt? Or is that considered not modest? I dont like feeling bulky or sweaty in the gym so i try to wear the least amount of clothing items as possible while still covering and i find it hard. Thinking of Starting my modesty journey and i had some questions😭
Yes, this shirt that covers your butt will be perfect. That’s what I do. I also got some long sweatshirts from H&M and I wear them with leggings. I never wear just plain leggings in a normal length T-shirt anymore. I always make sure I have a long shirt or a cardigan or a short dress and leggings.
@@chizitaraokonkwoI'm thinking also to look for quality 100% cotton shirt. It will help to keep you from getting hot and would probably wick up sweat better than the plastic polyester and spandex garment.❤
You should do a bible study on zoom for us girlies! I would love that💕 I’ve been trying so hard to get close to god and I don’t know what it is that I find it so hard. When I watch your videos I feel closest to god!
"if we go anything past the shoulders we got to reel it back, reeL it back" not me actually using my hands to reel it back🤣🤣🤣, urgh maya you're such a breath of fresh air to me, I really be anticipating your videos, I am a college student and watching your videos just helps me so much and also girlllll the way you're mannerism rub off on me, Like i be saying "Thankq yew" to my professors 😭, I am so grateful for finding your channel and also not being a silent watcher anymore, God bless you for real!!!
I was inspired to comment.. Your walk with God is a marathon, it is not a race. Go at your own pace & do not feel the need to sprint or compare yourself to another’s journey. 🤍 Thank you for this video Maya, I definitely needed to hear it.. He is truly working through you.
Girl. This spoke to me hard! I started my fitness and health journey March 6 on this year and down 45 pounds and I’m so convicted on dressing modestly now too. The more I lose, the more I want to cover!
Hey Mya ❤ I can see the transformation of God all over you. You are glowing sis ❤ this vlog is so necessary for women of God especially those new to the faith. Love ya girlie ❤😊
Thank you so much for this video. Someone asked me a very huge question on modesty and fulfilling purpose yesterday. I was still checking my response when I bumped into this video. It's so full of light.
Hey Maya, i use to be a silent watcher for so long, I’ve been watching your videos since your dollar tree hauls and your actually the reason i became a Christian and gave my life to Jesus Christ, can you make a video on how to pray?
Maya girl, I have been here since your senior year of HS and I am so proud of your journey & how far you’ve come. You’re just 4 months older than me and you’re inspiring to all of us ❤️ I really appreciate your content! Time & dedication, on top of being a mother to 2 babies!
Maya!! You can truly see and feel the Holy Spirit through your patience, kindness, and honesty in your approach to relaying the Word and your wisdom onto others. Your content truly curates a safe space, where you are not condemning but rather calling your sisters in Christ to grow with you. Thank you so much for your beautiful words. 💓
Maya, I’m so happy for your faith unto the Lord. And your transparency is refreshing. I’m happy to hear that the Lord is working in you to will and to do of his good pleasure. You have said many things that show that you desire to embrace him that’s really needed in this time. I pray that you continue to grow in grace and may the Lord continue to take you from faith to faith that you can go from glory to glory. No judgment, I admonish you to continue to ask the Lord to give you even more of him do not cease from seeking him why he maybe found. Continue to knock and as you are learning the door shall be open unto you. I too have a similar testimony of how the Lord changed my dress from lust to his love. From ungodly to godly apparel. Where he has undoubtedly come in a dwells within my earthen tabernacle. My prayer for you is that he takes all the lust of this world out of your heart and any ungodliness according to Titus. And that you live a sober, righteous, and godly life before men. Paul wrote it like this when I have preached to others I myself am a castaway. Also, you want to desire not to be a hypocrite before men. If your heart is really being cultivated to loving the Lord, always be yielding to his word. He maybe not come himself remember you don’t desire to be a scornful person either. The Lord uses whosoever he chooses to minister to us his will to us. Please remember that. Oftentimes we are being tested and tried. How are you building on the foundation that has already being laid, which is Christ Jesus? Precious stones, metal or wood stubble and hay? Remember we have to watch and pray always seeking his face. God loves you and as a believer I do too. You ask the question at the start of this video, you began to weep at the Lord presence you asked why Lord are you here? Is the video truly for God glory or for the glory of men? May the good Lord be gracious unto you. I will cease not to pray for you and your family. ❤ He desires to speak through you to his people please be mindful of that.
Guys remember our brothers in Christ when dressing to go to the gym the Bible describes us as the BODY of Christ and how we need to take care of each other
Girl, not everyone at the gym believes in the same things you believe in. Instead of telling women to be mindful let’s teach men boundaries and respect for others. A woman can be fully clothed and a man will still lust. Y’all have got to get out of this mindset of blaming women for everything and putting all the responsibility on them lol. 🤦♀️
I'm a baby boomer and that is not what she's doing. This video is not about teaching men not to lust. Only the cleanings power in the blood of Jesus can do that; she's teaching women how to dress modest. The Holy Spirit is a teacher but you can choose to grieve him by being rebellious. And yes what some of these Christians ladies wear to the gym is nowhere near modest, and they know just what they're doing. Now if you're a believer You ask the Holy Spirit for yourself. It's so beautiful how she's letting the Holy Spirit teach her.@@MariaWalsh-u7g
It’s great you’re thinking of others, but modesty is firstly between us and God. It is a way to honor Him. The fact that those who struggle with lust are benefited is secondary, and tbh has nothing to do with us. Even in ancient cultures when women dressed modestly, Job still said that he must “set a convent with [his] eyes to not look lustfully upon a woman.” Anyone can lust, regardless of the other persons’s dress. In fact, many scholars suggest Bathsheba was clothed while bathing. Immodesty is, like all sins, tied to rebellion against God and thinking our ways are better. When we believe His ways are better, all our sin begins to be easier to defeat. I prioritize modesty but I never see it as for men. It is for me to honor God.
Maya this video was everything!! I was raised in a home where my mother always said you don’t have to show your body to be beautiful. But young and naive, listening to friends and social media I felt like I had to. But now having a daughter I want to teach her the same thing you can be modest and beautiful, I’m her first example thank you for this video !!🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Girl yes he is at work! I just Reorganised my closet because I want to dress modest . I really need this since i was not raised christian and i am obsesse with fashion! thanks ❤️
Girl nice I love this. I have four kids and I've been having trouble losing weight I'm not to big but my body is less energized. I pray that one day God can give me the strength to work on me.
Maya you have came a long way. Your a true example that the Lord is faithful you have to just trust him. I pray you continue to stay strong and when the enemy comes to temp you, you continue to stand firm on your freedom. Love you sis❤
I absolutely love this! I appreciate this vid! The realness in the journey and what it will cost and then being honest about your specific journey! First vid I’ve seen by you but I am definitely subscribing because I am in agreement!!
Whew!! Modesty brings peace! Indeed it does, I remember when I would have to pull up straps, worry about stuff spilling out and how uncomfortable it made me. Yet modesty brings me the complete opposite, peace ✨ You said, “ you don’t get clean before stepping into a shower, you step into a shower to get clean. That’s what Jesus does.” I’ve been saved for a little now and sometimes I still feel like I need to figure things out on my own before coming to throne. But that little sentiment, is such beautiful reminder that the Lord wants all of us; the good, bad, ugly and indifferent. Thank you for this beautiful video, God bless you sis ✨
Sis your closing remarks has me in tears, girl! They speak to my heart because this is exactly how I was convicted and God is just so good and so patient. Thank you Signed a New subscriber 🫶🏾☺️
I never comment on anything, like I’m pretty sure this is my first ever comment. Lol. I just feel really led to just encourage you. God’s Spirit in you is just amazing. You are such a light in this world. Continue in all that God has planned for you to do, because your good works are glorifying Him. Praying for you and your family because the enemy is mad, but God is greater. ❤
I thank God for what he is doing in your life Maya. Such a beautiful & refreshing transformation, we’re blessed to see it. I absolutely loved this video & I pray the Lord continues to give you strength, encouragement, & wisdom to keep going ❤
Girl, I love this so much and i'm so excited about it!! Modesty has always been important to me, but I've been lazy with fashion...pretty much always have a regular tshirt on. Only here recently have I been trying to find cute/classy pieces and it is so much fun and it's making me feel so much more confident. You're fashion inspires me so much girl😇
I agree with the sentiments shared in this video. I am a black South African woman and because of the size and shape of my behind it is hard. A normal straight-cut skirt on me can look like a bodycon. I am exhausted actually!
I was wondering if there was at least 1 young woman on social media showing a modest lifestyle, especially in how she dressed. THANK YOU, LORD, for this young lady, and THANK YOU for allowing God by His Spirit to use you! I pray for your continued steadfastness in the Lord! Truly Awesome! 🙌🏽💜
Girl, I’m sooo proud of you! Proud of you but this video out. Proud of you changing your outlook. And proud of you allowing Gid to change your inside man (woman) to where it shows on the outside man! May you continue on this journey with God! God bless you!😊
I can relate so much with you! Since I’ve been on my fitness journey as well the body is bodying lol but i don’t want to show it to anyone but my hubby. God started shifting me to a more modest style the beginning of the year and I’m lowkey loving it.
Maya, Jesus's work is so seen through you ❤ thank you for accepting His calling, and sharing your journey on your channel. It is such a blessing to have a youtuber you can see as a big sister 🥹
wow maya! God bless you! you are really answered prayer for women, mothers, gen Z girls of Christ all around the world! thank you for doing this. much love from the UK 🇬🇧❤️
This is an awesome video, sis! Allowing God to convict us to move into deeper inner work is such a testimony! I love this about the Lord! He knows what’s best for us, so rewarding!!! And props to the friend putting that “pebble in your shoe!” Yow!! Keep going!!!
New to your channel and I loved every minute. So genuinely spoken and I sense the joy of the Lord in you. So refreshing and inspiring! You’re standing out for all the right reasons. Praise the Lord! 🥳💜
Modesty is essential. I've observed that modesty within the church is gradually fading. We encourage people to come as they are, and while that's important, it doesn't mean we should remain the same. Even the way we dress for the beach often leans toward the seductive, revealing much of what the Lord has blessed us with. It's time to embrace a standard that reflects our values more profoundly.
been with you through so many phases of life here on UA-cam I’m so proud of you I’m also a 22 yr old mom and struggled with weight gain after having my daughter I lost most of the weight but this just encouraged me that I don’t have to show that off love you sis thank for sharing your journey it’s incredible to see 😊
This was such a great video!! Thank you so much. I’ve been dressing modestly for about 8 years but never really had the language to explain the journeys and your articulation has helped big time. Also I appreciate how you broke the outfits down by function. I relate to all the functions, church, date night etc! Thank you so much ❤
Hey sis, I really enjoyed how transparent and relatable you were. I just subscribed! I’ve also been convicted and am starting a new wardrobe. So excited for more content! ❤✝️
My first time viewing your video and am so impressed with you. I had wished someone would do a modesty video. Thank God for you and keep it going as long as the Lord allow you too. Our young people don’t see examples of modesty to follow. Thanks for sharing and may the Lord bless and keep you and your family. ❤
I agree with you, the Lord started to transform my heart before I started to transform my wardrobe, and I will admit it was easy to do when my heart was fixed on Him.
I love Maya down baddddd so funny real and down to earth…cuz did yall hear her like yess let getting into the script immediately🤣…literally crying because she has no idea how the lord is using her to help others and the impact she has…been watching her since the high school days with the at home workout routine ok real og lol I’m so proud of her literally you go girly🥰🫶🏽
Yessss! I am WEALTHY AS A DAUGHTER OF THE MOST HIGH GOD😮💨 thank you for this Maya! I too have lost a TON of weight after having my 2nd baby & bawdy is bawdyinggggg but God is CONVICTINGGGG 😭😭 I have been STUCK! Keep this series going PUHLEASEEEEEE girlllllll 🙏🏾😭💜 & congratulationsssssss for staying the course & shedding your old self 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
You are such an inspiration and amazing sister In Christ I watch your channel and sent it to my daughter 26 Whos married and has my baby grandson 14 Months old ❤🙏we watch and learn so much from your channel God bless You and your family❤🙏❣️
I LOVE this so much🥹 as a young 23 year old female who is in the beginning stages of my walk with Christ it was two years ago when I met my current boyfriend that I felt compelled to start changing the way I dress and be less showy. as you described, I still felt urges to “get cute” which at the time meant dressing less modestly because I felt like modest had to be baggy t shirts and looking bland. it wasn’t until this past year that I’ve actually WANTED to be modest and have been working on making gradual changes to my style. I actually started to feel uncomfortable in clothes that I used to love that were less modest because I felt like although I had my heart set on the Lord, dressing otherwise drew in unwanted attention from people. given that we live in a world where dressing provocatively is pushed in our faces every which direction (in person, thru the media, etc) it feel so empowering to know that beauty is within and I find women who dress modestly sooo attractive because it shows a sense of pride and willingness to shy away from the majority but stand out in your own way. PLEASE continue this series because I’m still learning how to dress beautifully and embrace my inner femininity through my modesty journey! sending love and blessings to you and your family ❤️
Maya I am so happy you made this video because god and myself has called me to change up my fashion a little bit in modesty with just a little skin showing god bless you
Mayaaa my girl ❤ You are truly are woman of God and you are doing the work the Lord has sent his children to do. You are teaching and using your content and media to enhance and share about the Lord to help save others. LOVEEEE this in each aspect. The background story, the essential items and the outfit ideas girl! May you continue to glorify and praise all the Lord has done in our lives ❤
Literally going through this right now. It Is legit a feeling you can’t explain but you know you just want to be covered to be pleasing to God! I started purging some of my clothes and donating because Lord knows after having two babies the body be bodyinggg. But nevertheless I’m excited to get some new articles of clothing that are modest and classy. Thanks for sharing this Maya!❤
Yes yes yes!! I am here for this video! I know you recently said you said you were having a creative block and then God led you to some topics, I am so glad he did! This was soooooo refreshing and reassuring. I am more of a modest dressing woman and have some friends who are not so much, and they say I should show more skin and I am like but I don't want or need to and I am not comfortable doing so. This video was so needed and tells me I may need to revamp my friend list, oop! Yes more videos like this!
Please add to the series including summer clothes because sometimes I don't know whether a crop top ( that is not too revealing only showing my stomach and goes all the way to the neck) is okay or not. I really struggle as I am 18 years but I really am grateful that I was able to get rid of my mini skirt but I keep praying that the Lord helps me remove all the clothes that don't glorify him, it really is a tough journey for me as sometimes I'm uncertain
Mayaaaaa!!! This had to be one of my favorite videos! Especially the ending where you encouraged us! Wow. Praying God continues to pour into you as you pour into others in Jesus name!🤍🙏🏻
Wow, Maya!. You are doing it on your fitness quest🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Way to persevere!!!!!! - James 1:4 - "Let Perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything"🎉🎉 Felicidades 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations on losing 60 POUNDS WOW IN 11 MONTHS!!! That is such an accomplishment I see the glow super proud of you maya!🤍
I remember the pride and arrogance prior to being saved especially when your body gets right! The Lord wants us to be humble especially if you’re married. THAT’s for my mann and if you’re single, THAT’s for God.
Period!!❤
Can you do a modesty video on your speech & behavior? I think a lot of people forget modesty isn’t just for your appearance.
I agree. As a follower of God I’m not happy with my speech. I have a lot of sarcastic remarks. I hold no bars. So NEED to work on this.
@@stacy-annmorgan6685yes I struggle with this too and I have to ask God to help me with this
Same@@stacy-annmorgan6685
Ooooh, I love this
Yes I am working on this too. It is hard.

Girl you got me tearing up. I love the Lord with all my heart and I've been a Christian my whole life but hearing about his endless love! Still gets me!
He loves you as you are 🎉🎉❤❤❤
I love using Pinterest! There are so many ideas to dress modest, elegant, and fun at the same time ! I used to think it was boring but I love modesty.
Pinterest is that girl!!
@@MayaGraves right !! Never fails ! ☺️
Maya, you know girl, every time I look at you and listen to you speak about the lord, I always think to myself “I want to have what she has”.

Part of recapturing the pure innocence & joy that I felt as a kid is by dressing modestly ❤️ I can dress up for my husband.

And for modesty in the gym, when wearing leggings, you can also tie something around your waist (jacket or sweater) to cover up 😊

You said, “ you don’t get clean before stepping into a shower, you step into a shower to get clean. That’s what Jesus does.”
I’ve been saved for a little now and sometimes I still feel like I need to figure things out on my own before coming to throne.
But that little sentiment, is such beautiful reminder that the Lord wants all of us; the good, bad, ugly and indifferent.
Thank you for this beautiful video, God bless you sis ✨
Sis your closing remarks has me in tears, girl! They speak to my heart because this is exactly how I was convicted and God is just so good and so patient.
Thank you

I never comment on anything, like I’m pretty sure this is my first ever comment. Lol. I just feel really led to just encourage you. God’s Spirit in you is just amazing. You are such a light in this world. Continue in all that God has planned for you to do, because your good works are glorifying Him. Praying for you and your family because the enemy is mad, but God is greater. ❤
Maya🙂you have such a radiant glow about you✝️God bless you
I thank God for what he is doing in your life Maya. Such a beautiful & refreshing transformation, we’re blessed to see it. I absolutely loved this video & I pray the Lord continues to give you strength, encouragement, & wisdom to keep going ❤
Girl, I love this so much and i'm so excited about it!! Modesty has always been important to me, but I've been lazy with fashion...pretty much always have a regular tshirt on. Only here recently have I been trying to find cute/classy pieces and it is so much fun and it's making me feel so much more confident. You're fashion inspires me so much girl😇
Wealth is quiet - Your body is wealthy 👏👏
Love this! May God continue to use you on this platform you are helping so many women young and old! We are thankful for you Maya! ❤
I agree with the sentiments shared in this video. I am a black South African woman and because of the size and shape of my behind it is hard. A normal straight-cut skirt on me can look like a bodycon. I am exhausted actually!
Hey sis 😃🇿🇦
@@robyn_southafrica Hey sis 💖😊🤗
I am so glad you made another modesty video!!! I’m so excited for more to come❤
You are so very wise for your age, may the Lord continue to guide you and encourage you in your journey.
I was wondering if there was at least 1 young woman on social media showing a modest lifestyle, especially in how she dressed. THANK YOU, LORD, for this young lady, and THANK YOU for allowing God by His Spirit to use you! I pray for your continued steadfastness in the Lord! Truly Awesome! 🙌🏽💜
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Glory to God
Girl, I’m sooo proud of you! Proud of you but this video out. Proud of you changing your outlook. And proud of you allowing Gid to change your inside man (woman) to where it shows on the outside man! May you continue on this journey with God! God bless you!😊
I enjoyed this video and learnt a lot, I've been having this conviction of modesty so thank you for the tips.
6:32. I cant explain why.
That's a radical transformation of the spirit 🎉!❤
I can relate so much with you! Since I’ve been on my fitness journey as well the body is bodying lol but i don’t want to show it to anyone but my hubby. God started shifting me to a more modest style the beginning of the year and I’m lowkey loving it.
Maya, Jesus's work is so seen through you ❤ thank you for accepting His calling, and sharing your journey on your channel. It is such a blessing to have a youtuber you can see as a big sister 🥹
I’m so proud of you love! I had my babies back to back too and I know how hard it can be with your self-image
I love how you bring the word of God into your videos 🙌🕊
wow maya! God bless you! you are really answered prayer for women, mothers, gen Z girls of Christ all around the world! thank you for doing this. much love from the UK 🇬🇧❤️
This is an awesome video, sis! Allowing God to convict us to move into deeper inner work is such a testimony! I love this about the Lord! He knows what’s best for us, so rewarding!!! And props to the friend putting that “pebble in your shoe!” Yow!! Keep going!!!
New to your channel and I loved every minute. So genuinely spoken and I sense the joy of the Lord in you. So refreshing and inspiring! You’re standing out for all the right reasons. Praise the Lord! 🥳💜
Modesty is essential. I've observed that modesty within the church is gradually fading. We encourage people to come as they are, and while that's important, it doesn't mean we should remain the same. Even the way we dress for the beach often leans toward the seductive, revealing much of what the Lord has blessed us with. It's time to embrace a standard that reflects our values more profoundly.
First of all, I've just come across this channel, and I've just subscribed. Secondly, thank you for addressing this topic! 👏🏽
been with you through so many phases of life here on UA-cam I’m so proud of you I’m also a 22 yr old mom and struggled with weight gain after having my daughter I lost most of the weight but this just encouraged me that I don’t have to show that off love you sis thank for sharing your journey it’s incredible to see 😊
This was a great video! Well said and explained. I love the comment about wealth being quiet and us thinking about ourselves as wealthy.
This is beautiful. Jesus will clean you up. God loves us ALL. Thank you for sharing❤
This was such a great video!! Thank you so much. I’ve been dressing modestly for about 8 years but never really had the language to explain the journeys and your articulation has helped big time. Also I appreciate how you broke the outfits down by function. I relate to all the functions, church, date night etc! Thank you so much ❤
Hey sis, I really enjoyed how transparent and relatable you were. I just subscribed! I’ve also been convicted and am starting a new wardrobe. So excited for more content! ❤✝️
My first time viewing your video and am so impressed with you. I had wished someone would do a modesty video. Thank God for you and keep it going as long as the Lord allow you too. Our young people don’t see examples of modesty to follow. Thanks for sharing and may the Lord bless and keep you and your family. ❤
Yessss queen posted againnnn🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I agree with you, the Lord started to transform my heart before I started to transform my wardrobe, and I will admit it was easy to do when my heart was fixed on Him.
I love Maya down baddddd so funny real and down to earth…cuz did yall hear her like yess let getting into the script immediately🤣…literally crying because she has no idea how the lord is using her to help others and the impact she has…been watching her since the high school days with the at home workout routine ok real og lol I’m so proud of her literally you go girly🥰🫶🏽
Yessss! I am WEALTHY AS A DAUGHTER OF THE MOST HIGH GOD😮💨 thank you for this Maya! I too have lost a TON of weight after having my 2nd baby & bawdy is bawdyinggggg but God is CONVICTINGGGG 😭😭 I have been STUCK! Keep this series going PUHLEASEEEEEE girlllllll 🙏🏾😭💜 & congratulationsssssss for staying the course & shedding your old self 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
You are such an inspiration and amazing sister In Christ I watch your channel and sent it to my daughter 26
Whos married and has my baby grandson 14
Months old ❤🙏we watch and learn so much from your channel God bless
You and your family❤🙏❣️
I LOVE this so much🥹 as a young 23 year old female who is in the beginning stages of my walk with Christ it was two years ago when I met my current boyfriend that I felt compelled to start changing the way I dress and be less showy. as you described, I still felt urges to “get cute” which at the time meant dressing less modestly because I felt like modest had to be baggy t shirts and looking bland. it wasn’t until this past year that I’ve actually WANTED to be modest and have been working on making gradual changes to my style. I actually started to feel uncomfortable in clothes that I used to love that were less modest because I felt like although I had my heart set on the Lord, dressing otherwise drew in unwanted attention from people. given that we live in a world where dressing provocatively is pushed in our faces every which direction (in person, thru the media, etc) it feel so empowering to know that beauty is within and I find women who dress modestly sooo attractive because it shows a sense of pride and willingness to shy away from the majority but stand out in your own way. PLEASE continue this series because I’m still learning how to dress beautifully and embrace my inner femininity through my modesty journey! sending love and blessings to you and your family ❤️
Thank you for doing your channel! It's a blessing to your viewers!💖
Mrs Maya is in the building ❤😊
Girl you're shining✨♥️ praise the lord 😘♥️
Congratulations on everything! Love your spirit. I'm so thankful I found your channel.
Maya I am so happy you made this video because god and myself has called me to change up my fashion a little bit in modesty with just a little skin showing god bless you
Mayaaa my girl ❤
You are truly are woman of God and you are doing the work the Lord has sent his children to do. You are teaching and using your content and media to enhance and share about the Lord to help save others. LOVEEEE this in each aspect. The background story, the essential items and the outfit ideas girl!
May you continue to glorify and praise all the Lord has done in our lives ❤
Thank you so much!🥹💕
@@MayaGraves soo proud girl!
Maya. I love this channel. Thank you for doing this. I love, love , love it.
I’m 20 and I love modesty so much! Everyday I feel very cutesy, very demure, very blessed and calm ❤❤❤❤
Good job! I almost didn't watch. I like your presentation. It was informative and not condemning. I would recommend this video to others.
Literally going through this right now. It Is legit a feeling you can’t explain but you know you just want to be covered to be pleasing to God! I started purging some of my clothes and donating because Lord knows after having two babies the body be bodyinggg. But nevertheless I’m excited to get some new articles of clothing that are modest and classy. Thanks for sharing this Maya!❤
I am muslim girly who already is modest. But I need good style 😍
You're welcome here. We love you so much.
And Jesus loves you too❤❤🎉😊
@@KinksandTwist I love Jesus, peace be upon him, too. He is beloved prophet of God❤️
Yes yes yes!! I am here for this video! I know you recently said you said you were having a creative block and then God led you to some topics, I am so glad he did! This was soooooo refreshing and reassuring. I am more of a modest dressing woman and have some friends who are not so much, and they say I should show more skin and I am like but I don't want or need to and I am not comfortable doing so. This video was so needed and tells me I may need to revamp my friend list, oop! Yes more videos like this!
Yes Modesty is a must! Thank you for sharing and excited about your clothing line!
New UA-camr here, and I LOVED this video, and I enjoy your content! I'm revamping my wardrobe slowly but surly. Can't wait to see your next video
Modesty is a hard one for sure! I love fashion too so it’s pulled me to be super creative which isn’t a bad thing. Good talk ♥️
Please add to the series including summer clothes because sometimes I don't know whether a crop top ( that is not too revealing only showing my stomach and goes all the way to the neck) is okay or not. I really struggle as I am 18 years but I really am grateful that I was able to get rid of my mini skirt but I keep praying that the Lord helps me remove all the clothes that don't glorify him, it really is a tough journey for me as sometimes I'm uncertain
Mayaaaaa!!! This had to be one of my favorite videos! Especially the ending where you encouraged us! Wow. Praying God continues to pour into you as you pour into others in Jesus name!🤍🙏🏻
I'm so glad!🤍🙏🏽
Thanks for the delivery! Not judgy or condemning but also not sugarcoating the truth lol! I needed this
Amen! 🙏🏽
You are glowing Maya 😍 I’m so proud of your journey ❤
MISSED YOU MAYA 💞

Wow, Maya!. You are doing it on your fitness quest🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Way to persevere!!!!!! - James 1:4 - "Let Perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything"🎉🎉 Felicidades 🎉🎉🎉🎉
