Hello, everyone! My name is Sarah. I am a nineteen-year-old Christian girl from California. I became saved at fifteen, and it's been a rocky experience, but the Lord has changed my heart so tremendously in the last few years. I come from an unsaved family (to my knowledge, there are only a handful of professing Christians in even my totally extended family, and none that practice headcovering and modest dress). I have had to deal with a lot of weird dilemmas, especially in the last year. My parents were uncomfortable with the covering at first, but then I explained it, and through the Spirit they gradually accepted it. The same went for modest dress. I am also currently a Junior at college, at my father's request. Part of me feels very uncomfortable, but I am trying to make the best of it (I am studying History, my greatest passion and also a good springboard for homeschooling, and also Family and Consumer Sciences AKA home economics).
I have been practicing the headcovering at least in part literally since I became converted. I began covering full-time fall this year. My dress has changed moderately radically since then. I have worn skirts my entire saved life, but I used to make them "bare minimum" long at the bottom of the knee. Since then, the Lord has showed me that the way I am dressing is improper and immodest. I have begun to practice double covering (i.e., a jumper over a blouse) since I believe that that is the more modest way.
I suppose I am longwinded today! I look forward to being a part of this board!
Love in Christ,
Sarah
