What I've Been Doing: Black Friday Shopping

First of all, Happy Sabbath to all. :)

I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. My immediate family ( siblings, parents ) and I ate at our house, then later that night Mom and I went Black Friday shopping. ( That was the first time I'd ever done it and the first or second time my mom had done it. ) Basically we spent around 10-15 minutes looking for a parking space. It was packed , not even to mention the line of people at a department store. ( Belk, I think. )

Anyway, I got some Christmas presents for people, but I also got two skirts, one shirt, and a headscarf.

I and my Mom know that Christmas is originated from a pagan holiday, and for a couple of years there we did not celebrate Christmas. Eventually my mom just " gave up " and we got a tree and put up lights. ( My dad and her have different views on the whole pagan holiday thing, I suppose. )

This was a totally off-topic post but I just wanted to let y'all know what I've been doing. :)

Yahweh bless, and have a good Sabbath!

Why Do You Cover?

Some of us cover out of modesty, some of us cover because of Scriptural commands, some cover for both reasons. Why do you, my dear reader, cover your head? ( Even if it's because of chemo. )

Don't Break Your Neck!

I understand that when someone sees something different, out of the ordinary, or something new in their enviroment, they will look. This doesn't mean stare at me while you're driving and nearly break your neck looking at me!

I've been on both sides of the coin, looking at and being looked at . I know I mainly looked out of curosity, not out of rudeness. Now I know that people look at me because 1. They're curious. 2. They're wondering " What is that thing on her head? " ( Okay, I guess that falls under #1 too. ) 3. They're just rude. 4. All of the above.

So remember. If you see a Mennonite ( or another " religious " person ) don't stare at them for too long, it might be taken the wrong way.

The Issue of Covering While Dancing

I do want to observe the head covering full-time so very much, but I haven't really considered the fact that I could ask my dance teachers if I could wear a bun cover or some sort of head covering ( that wouldn't draw too much attention ) while I danced/performed. One problem: Generally we wear our hair in a ponytail. Hmm....

Thoughts?

Head Covering- Peoples' Opinions and the " Family Situation "

I will try and post some pictures of my new head covering soon, but meanwhile I feel the need to post since the post before my last post was on Nov. 3.

People are going to dislike what you do sometimes, but, as hard as it is, you can't let other peoples' opinions stop you from following what you believe ( unless you believe that you need to kill someone, that's different. ;) ).

With the family situation most new head coverers find themselves in, I will tell you this: Overtime, some of your ( immediate ) family will get used to the covering. If not, try a different one. I've tried cloth headbands and my dad likes them. ( He doesn't verbally express his feelings towards my head coverings most of the time but he told me he " liked my scarf ", actually it was a cloth headband, but still. :) )

But always pray for Yahweh's guidance and strength.

If any of you are in need of prayer, please feel more than welcome to comment or email me. :)

Yahweh Bless!

The Other Day in Dollar General

I've started leaning more towards my white lace veil recently. It has a nice, plain look and goes with just about every outfit.

I was in Dollar General the other day and I was at the checkout with my mom. There were two women cashiers there, and one of them asked me a question,

" Why do you wear that thing on your head? "

Okay," that thing " is a head covering. Moving on.

" Because I like it. " ( My mom told me that this is the response I should give to people who aren't really asking for an answer. )

" Oh I thought it was a religious thing. "

I think I kind of nervously chuckled and responded," Yeah, it kinda is. " Then, to my relief we were out of the store.

Needless to say, Mom was offended by that lady's question, but I told her that some people just don't know how to ask politely.

Yahweh bless!
