My mother and I were talking on the phone yesterday, I told her I was writing a study or tract about headcovering and modest dress. I also told her that I was only wearing dresses and that I was now covering for prayer, worship, and teaching. She asked why and I told her about some of the scriptures that this discision had been based on. She had never read or thought about it in that particular context before. She wrote down these references and it was her idea to go over them and research more this next week and discuss it durring our phone call next week. She said she wants to learn all she can to follow Christ. I was so happy, she was the first person I have talked to who does not cover or dress modestly in dresses that actually thought I may be right and was not crazy. She told me she is so proud of me and how much I have grown as a person and as a christian in the past few years. She also said she wished with all her heart she was with me now so she could give me a BIG hug. This ment more to me than anything else she could have ever said to me. I just wanted to share this with all of you as I believe it is an important milestone in both my life and my mothers as a christian. She is going to study something that means alot to me and she is open to learning more than her church is willing to teach her. She turned to me, her daughter as a titus 2 woman for part of her walk and to me that is an awsome thing.
... and then she might feel defensive.
