meagan-good-2013+BET+Awards+Arrivals

 

In addition to the music, Style and Fashion appeared to be the driving force of this years BET Awards 2013. One particular statement that made headlines was from actress Meagan Good. Meagan has starred in several hit films such as “Eve’s Bayou,” “In Too Deep” and most recent TV drama series “Deception”.  Meagan is in the spotlight but not for her work in the TV & Film industry but instead her bold royal blue plunging neckline, hit slit gown that she strutted on the red carpet. Meagan’s gown choice has been the hot topic because of her marriage to TV/movie executive and Seventh Day Adventist preacher Devon Franklin. Although slammed for the gown being to “revealing” and being a preacher’s wife, Devon Franklin stands by his wife’s sexy signature style.

After receiving many disgruntle comments regarding her attire and her “non-Christian-ish” behavior, the actress clapped back at one hater via Instagram.  Here is what Meagan said to defend her choice of wardrobe:

 

“@ adriannacolbert – That’s the thing Girl- is that I don’t feel convicted about this at all. my spirit is saddened that our people only know one way to think and process things..

 

I’m not any less holy because the dress I wore -I may not be who people think I should be -but I’m morphing into exactly who God wants me to be.. My excuse is never “I’m going to do me” and I don’t feel that I need to make an excuse or defend or what I wore .. I know I have a responsibility -and I’m working daily to fulfill the full potential of all God has created me to be..

 

A dialogue was started about my character, integrity, my walk with God and my Husband -simply based on a dress that I wore.., Of course I’m going to have a reaction to people saying negative things… It’s just sad.. Makes me sad not regretful.. My heart and spirit is always open to whatever my Father would want to share with me… And my spirit tells me to be exactly who I authentically am -because that’s what’s going to reach who I was authentically designed to touch.. people like me who are often misunderstood and told their cut of God’s promise -because they don’t look the role …when God doesn’t care about us “looking the role”…he is always cared about bringing us in -and us being whatever we need to be to bring Those left out in ..

 

And it just makes me sad that us as Christians can’t see beyond our initial reaction and don’t seek God before they attack other brothers and sisters …and never think for one moment that: God knows what he’s doing and he uses everything for his glory .. and he has a plan for every specific situation.. I had intentions on anything .. Merely picked a dress I saw and loved … God knows my heart and that I didn’t do anything wrong .. And he will use even people’s thoughts to bring him glory.”

 

 

What do you think? Was Meagan’s dress not representative of a true Christian woman?
