Hello, I want to first say I do hope everyone had a joyful Thanksgiving...
I attend an IFB church and so far I am the only one that covers, it generally has been accepted although some have given me odd looks and a few comments. Last Sunday after the morning service someone said something very nasty to me about it (very disrespectful), it was a young man about half my age. His mother got onto him about it and made some comment that he should have learned about that from a Jew class in college (I am sometimes slow to catch on, I believe she was assuming it was something I was just trying from the class [my husband and I are in the same Bible college as him]) Anyway, I was upset about it. There were even thoughts of not covering, but my husband assured me it was right and that I should do right regardless.That night when I got to church there was one of our missionaries that we support with his wife and daughter both covered. It was God's timing that it happened. I needed help and prayed and no one even knew they would be there, it was a surprise pop in visit. He is respected in our church and it was an answer to prayer. I spoke to them after church and it was a happy time. The missionary was Jewish, but they cover in accordance with 1 Corinthians 11.
