April Showers Bring May Flowers

I have had many convitions over the past year. First, it was over a year ago, to grow my hair out long. Then last spring it was to wear dresses/skirts. It states in the Bible that women are to dress as women and not men. I know that it differs for each culture and in my culture men don’t wear dresses. So, another thing to submit to. Both of these were easy to do and with each passing day it got easier and more fun. I felt feminie and truer to myself and the the women that the Heavenly Father created me to be. Next, it was the head coverings. Now some days it’s easier to wear it then others and the only reason for that is that I sometimes forget to put it on. I want to wear the headcovering because I feel led to, but since I don’t dress as soon as I rise it is usually a couple of hours before it gets on my head. Another reason it is sometimes off is that I can’t get it to stay on. I do try some tricks and it has become a challege and fun. I realize these are excuses for not wearing the headcovering, but my Father has mercy, is full of compassion and very patient with me. Each day He is working out my sactification, each day He makes me stronger to follow Him, each day He renews me. “My hope is built on nothing less then Jesus blood and righteousness… On Christ the solid Rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand.” See, it’s ok if I mess up every day because I have a greater hope. I know that the quote is from a song, but it is true none the less. I can rest knowing that one day I will stand in front of Jesus who will be my Judge, my Mediator, my Saviour and it won’t be hard to submit to His requirements any longer. I am covered in His righteousness, always.
