Hello My name is Tina. I was here a few years ago and was seeking guidance and studies on Covering and Modest dress. The LORD led me to dress modestly and cover and I did do each. In doing so I was hit with a lot of adversity and hurtfulness from those around me, church and others. Not having any support and from being hurt I let it all go, never to cover again. I did wear skirts but was not as I was doing.
It is September 1, 2010 and as of last week as sister I was communicating with contacted me and I was surprised as I had been thinking a lot of that time. So we began to talk and have been diligently now for about a week.
There was no doubt no other reason she had contacted other to lend support and encouragement for such a time like this. I am feeling the LORD leading me back to the TRUTH HE had showed me and HE is using this sister to help.
I am wearing skirts again full time and I will be covering also, I feel the LORD tell me to use hats at church as the veils I was wearing brought too much hurt. At home I will wear the veils and traditional coverings.
Any thing you can offer in this time I will greatly appreciate it, I have no local support. Please pray for me and thank you.
In CHRIST love and service, Tina

I'm glad you are back, Tina, and I hope that you find some encouragement here among like-minded believers! Keep learning and growing, with your eyes on the Lord Jesus.
"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Php 3:13-14

Sister Tina, you said:
If this is too personal or hurtful you don't have to share, but what do you mean by:
1. "the veils I was wearing...?" (what kind of veils,) and 2. "...too much hurt?" Bro. Ben

Welcome back sister Tina,
I am so sorry you had so much opposition, that can be hard and very hurtful. People either have to except truth or reject it, if they reject it they feel they have to prove their right and you are wrong...Why do they not just have peace in their decisions before God and let others do what they feel God would have them do, as long as it isn't against God.
My preacher back in Texas use to say if someone is taking a stronger stand than you are, don't be against the stronger stand they are trying to take, don't speak out against the good thing they are trying to do for God. Be for them.
I appreciate people who have stronger convictions than I do, I look up to them and admire their strength. I'm still growing in the Lord myself.
May the Lord give you holy boldness and strength to stand firm on Gods leading in your life and have joy and peace that comes from obeying God and living a godly life.
Love, your sister and friend, ~ Darlene ~

Brother Ben, When I was led to wear the coverings I was obedient. In doing so I had alot of people at church hurt me and tell me it was not for today that I was taking it to literal. I know that this was the LORDS leading and I was obedient. I was wearing the darted veils, charity veils.
In coming back to the TRUTH, I have been praying and seeking and I the LORD spoke to me that hats would be ok for church as they are not questionable and I would not be hurt again.
I hope that helps clarify, if not please let me know. Many blessings. Sister Tina
