Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
There's been so much rain and yucky weather lately that the sunshine is such a blessing to see! And two days in a row, even! Wow! :o)
I have decided to give up wearing jeans and stick to wearing dresses and skirts. The more I read about it, the more I realize that women were MEANT to wear dresses, to dress like women and not men.
Deuteronomy 22:5:
A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.
It's going to take some getting used to because I'm used to throwing on some jeans, a blouse and heading out the door. I know I have some wonderful friends who have chosen to follow Deuteronomy 22:5 and have for a while now, so I know I'm not alone! :o) I'm also going to do the head covering, and I've actually got a few things coming in the mail any day now, plus a pattern so I can learn to make my own as well. I'm looking forward to it!
I know that this is going to be a big adjustment, not just for me, but for my family and friends also. This is something new and so "not me". I'm the one who wears things too tight, doesn't mind having purple hair from time to time, etc. I just have to keep myself focused on the only thing that matters and that is being more concerned with what Christ wants me to do than what everyone else thinks I should do. I'm hoping that it rubs off on my daughter as well, but that will have to happen in her own time. A good friend of mine pointed out to me yesterday that I have to be patient with her just as Jesus had to be patient with me for a long time before I took his hand and really started following him. Patience is something I need to pray about because I sure don't have a lot of it sometimes!
