My headcovering testimony

Posted on Thu 26 Apr 2007 at 02:23
I have been thinking on this a lot in the last couple of days, and am trying to figure out how to put my thoughts down, that make sense and don't take up two or three pages. Oh well we shall see how it sounds.

I can not really start out with my head covering testimony because it first started out with my change in dress. So we shall start there.

Two years ago, I had really been feeling the Holy Spirit working in my heart, and in my life. As I came to know new people, on line and read some wonderful, Godly website. I had been doing a modesty study from Pamela Spurling, and doing some reading at MOM of 9's Place. As i read these things, and talked with some Godly women on some different Message Boards, Prayed and came to realize that I was not doing what the Holy Spirit and the Word of God had wanted me to be doing. I did my research then took it to my Dh . I asked if I could start dressing in all dresses. He was fine, did not care either way. So the next day went out to the thrift store and bought a bunch of jumpers and shirts, and never looked back.

Well a couple of months later, through almost the same process, I found out about head coverings. I had seen the Amish wear them, and read about different ones online. I studied the scriptures, and prayed a lot about it. Collected my research and came to my dh, again he did not really care either way. So I went out and bought some hankerchiefs that matched my dresses and thats what I wore. At the same time I had come to the conclusion that I was not going to cut my hair anymore. It was a glory to the Lord, so I was growing that out long.

As the years have progressed in this journey of modesty and head covering my reasonings have some what fine tuned themselves. I now where a black lace round covering. It blends in with my hair. I as a follower of God almighty do not want to be a stumbling block for anyone. The way I dress or do my hair.  As I have prayed and really thought about why I do things, for me Head covering is truly about modesty. I wear plain colored cape dresses. They go from my ankles to my neck, most are long sleeve. If I were to leave my long flowing hair down. That to me is just asking for attention. (that just me though).  Or in my case a place to spend my extra time during the day, making my self look all sweet and pretty for others out there. Attention Seeker. Not what I want to be.Our hair according to the Word is a Crown of Glory unto the Lord. It is a Glory unto our spouses only. So my hair, is kept for my Lord and my husband.

Being able to share my whole self with my Dh that only my Lord and Dh know about is so truly special and amazing. I would have it know other way.


***Attention disclamer*** Not bashing or debating this. This is just how I came to the conclusions I did in my only life. Thank you

"Being able to share my whole self with my Dh that only my Lord and Dh know about is so truly special and amazing." I had never really thought of it this way. What a great point! Thank you so much for expressing your views. I love hearing other people's stories and reading about their journeys.

I understand your study of modesty, as I too studied it. I have made the same commitment as you, only I see my hair as my covering...But your adventure is similar to mine, as I studied the Amish (wonderful people) and did alot of biblical research. I REALY enjoy the walk that I have chose with Jesus.
