Hey maidens! Whoa, I'm finally sitting down to blog again for MMM—yay!! Me so happy. ;-) I'm convinced that time flies faster as more passes. :-\ Oh well, my reason for this post is not to talk about time, but to give you an update on how I've been doing with my headcovering. As you are probably already aware of by now, I have somewhat recently learned about the importance of headcovering in Scripture and have been striving to put it into practice myself. If you want to know exactly where I stand on the issue and what some of my thoughts are, you can read about it here.
As with anything new, my experience with headcovering has been exciting, encouraging, very set-apart (if you know what I mean), a little challenging, but altogether strengthening to my faith and growth in Christ. I'll be honest, I've been very blessed by many people (both men and women) coming up to tell me how happy they are to see me covering and that they fully support it, but I've also received lots of "oh-she's-one-of-those" looks and even funny remarks that just go to show how little people really understand about it. Something else I want to mention is, since this is usually such a different step for women who start covering, it's totally normal to kind of be unprepared at first. Hey, I'm still adjusting to it, but if there's one thing I can recommend to anyone trying to start covering, it's this: you need more than one, in fact, you need several. Several in earth tones and hues that complement your complexion and reflect your personality. You need to be able to have more than one for different outfits and what not, because you want to proclaim this in a beautiful and attractive way. I'm not saying go all out, you still need to keep it simple and it shouldn't be the whole focus, but there is a tasteful way to do it. I only had two to start off with, which made it a bit tricky; but in time I bought or made more (they're SUPER simple...do I hear future tutorial??). So, what have you been thinking about head coverings lately? I'd love to know your thoughts! Comment down below. ♥︎ Erica

Where did you get this idea? It seems sort of Jewish. No offense. But really, do you believe that head covering is necessary in getting us to heaven or eating raw? Just some of my views on the subject. Hey Jenna! I get it from Scripture. ;-) Jewish? I think that Jews are contrary to the what the Bible teaches about headcoverings because the men have covers for their heads, if I'm not mistaken, which is totally against Biblical headship roles. I do my best {by God's grace} to practice headcovering, eat as healthy as possible, and keep His whole law of Love. I'm not doing it so that I can work my way into heaven or because I feel that I have to do these things if I want to be in heaven; I do these things because I believe, as Scripture teaches, that these things are honoring to my Father in heaven and to His Son, and I want to honor Him and obey Him in everything I do. He says if you love Him you will keep His commandments, and His commandments are not grievous. To me, it is a joyful thing to be set-apart for Him, and I praise Him for His commandments because they afford me ways wherein I may glorify Him, by His grace. :-)

You are amazing for doing what ur doing! I truly support u. I have known young ladies who are older than u and have not even taken the stand for what they believe. If people start to criticize you just turn the other cheek! I didn't understand everything you were saying in your post so sorry if it sounded a bit sarcastic. God Bless You!!

Thank you Jenna! Head covering in my opinion is NOT BIBLICAL!!!! To each his own but, this practice is rather strange..... It's kind of like yoga, who thinks that is weird? Young lady, I would be careful to not give the wrong impression to people. My impression was that I thought you were Jewish! Now do you want people thinking you are Jewish? I don't think so, I am New Age. That is the only true religion and we pride our selves in being NOT STRANGE AND OFFENDING!!!!! I commend you to be careful..... Comments are closed.
