I think you are correct in your conclusions though.<br /><br />Now do you have any advice about husbands and coverings? Most people I hear think that if a husband doesn't want his wife to cover, she shouldn't. But to me it seems it is a command to cover because of God's divine order, and the husband can't usurp that command. What do you think?Blessed Homemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900030206325400486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393019446461430689.post-1393300674652686482011-05-11T20:20:22.618-07:002011-05-11T20:20:22.618-07:00Mrs. Q.,
If you don't want to draw attention ...Mrs. Q.,<br /><br />If you don't want to draw attention try the most subtle covering you can find.<br /><br />The truth is that no matter how subtle it is if you are consistent they will figure it out. That is what happens to me over and over again.<br /><br />At least you would know you were not trying to draw attention and you were not looking for a dispute.<br /><br />For me the answer is clear. Paul may not have dictated the shape, size and color of the covering but I personally feel he was clear that there would be a head covering. For myself that means that I cannot pray uncovered. If people are going to get upset with me then I can't pray with them. If my bare head means that much to them then that's my only answer.<br /><br />I've been in situations where sneaking the hoodie over my head was the only thing that kept the peace but after a while it isn't worth the effort to be around people that hostile to a New Testament teaching.<br /><br />I have attended "all" homeschooling churches, twice in fact. Not a coverer among them. It's all a trade-off. That can affect how long I go to such a church but it would not incite me to pray uncovered.<br /><br />These are only my answers, not really what I advise you to do. I trust in you to know yourself and what you are convicted to do.<br /><br />Sometimes it comes down to pleasing God and not being able to please "man." It doesn't have to be a fight. Peace. Love. Joy. Patience. If you are a good tree you will have good fruit and that will counterbalance the potential attacks.<br /><br />Much love.clevseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398716107613353889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393019446461430689.post-75418841433918577332011-05-11T19:27:08.677-07:002011-05-11T19:27:08.677-07:00Wow, Clevsea. You have such wonderful posts. We ...Wow, Clevsea. You have such wonderful posts. We are finally attending a church. We meet at a home right now but will need to get a building eventually because of outgrowing the house. I absolutely love the church. It is a bunch of big families who have embraced children as blessings from the Lord, and everyone there homeschools as well. They believe women should be keepers at home. I couldn't ask for more! But still, no one there covers. I covered the first time and then felt self-conscious about it. (I didn't want to draw attention to myself). My husband was not with me the first time and I don't know how he feels about covering, but my inkling is that he probably thinks it is strange. I am not one to put him above what a command of God though, although I don't want to make him think I am being "rebellious". This is something I struggle with.<br /><br />For these reasons, I have not continued to cover at the church. I am not quite sure what to do. I am glad I can identify with you though, as those who cover are so few and far between. Any advice?Blessed Homemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900030206325400486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393019446461430689.post-46287914398157407742011-05-07T01:49:16.598-07:002011-05-07T01:49:16.598-07:00Clevsea! How brave you have had to be!
And Linda!...Clevsea! How brave you have had to be!<br />And Linda!<br />Mostly the headcovering feels like a reminder to me - it's something that as I put it on is the adopting of an attitude. So sometimes even it can be as minimal as a ribbon even, just so long as I put it on - because it's between me and the Lord, nobody else in my regular circle of (offline) friends and neighbours practises any kind of headcovering.<br />And when I wear it, it says to me 'Remember. Remember the divine order. Remember the fear of te Lord. Remember to walk in submission, in kindness and humility.'<br />I have a while in the mornings when I just have my hair loose with no covering, because my hubby loves that. But when I start the day properly and when I go out into the world, my covering is the wing of God's presence stretching over me.<br />God bless and encourage you in your faithful witness to His word.Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393019446461430689.post-81234654499166833932011-05-05T17:18:28.687-07:002011-05-05T17:18:28.687-07:00Clevsea, I enjoyed reading this post.

I have a friend whose pastor's wife tried to pull hers off when she first started wearing it. She would also sigh and say things like, "You are still wearing that thing? I've been praying that the Lord would show you the error of your ways." It has really grieved me. And has made it extremely hard for her. I think I'll send her your blog link. You would be a great encouragement for her!!!<br />Blessings,<br />LindaBeautifully Veiledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681100978715862072noreply@blogger.com
