Hi, my name's Raine. I've been a member for a while, but haven't posted yet (think I may have years ago, then lost bookmarks with my old computer and was gone for a while). I'm 28 years old, married, and live in the western foothills of North Carolina. I just recently became a mother for the first time, after 8 years of hoping and praying, and quit my job so I can stay home to raise my son (we plan to homeschool).
I attended an IFB church for a while, and find myself most in agreement with Baptist theology, but have not been to church in a while (there was some drama and a split in our old church, and my husband did not want to attend or for me to attend any longer). My husband is not a Christian, but I still try to honor his wishes as best I can, and find a church he approves of. I've recently started looking into attending church again, but am a little shy about it, because I don't want to stand out to much, and would feel odd attending without my husband if he doesn't want to go.
I cover for worship and prayer, and for church when I did attend. My husband tolerates covering, but is not too keen on it, so I only cover part time at home, depending on what I'm wearing and if he thinks a covering stands out too much with it. I dress modestly, and mostly wear skirts and dresses, but will wear jeans or even shorts while working in the house or hiking "off the beaten path". My husband does not like for me to dress too differently on certain occasions where he feels like it may make others uncomfortable, so I try to abide by his wishes.
