Common Problems with wearing the Christian Headcovering Part 2

[renjac2011]

what do you think about women cutting there hair?

[sunshinerinker]

ok so what do you do when your husband is not comfortable with the wearing of the head covering. I have been trying for almost 3 months and every time he sees me wearing it he tells me to take it off. I do not know what to do.

[radicallyforjesus]

@sunshinerinker You pray and obey your husband. I do not advocate covering against your husband's wishes. A wife should pray and humbly seek his permission as sincerely as possible. If he allows it, awesome. If not, accpet his answer with grace and obey him, always being in prayer about the situation. To wear a covering that symbolized obedience to the headship order, when you are disobeying is counter intuitive.

@radicallyforjesus I honestly believe the reason is that it reminds him of a Muslim. How do I get him over that and to realize that they cover differently.

thank you for your insights I have been struggling wiht my veiling and with my hubby and such

I also want to comment that my veiling led me to a group of Christians who were very harsh, and at one point, had me convinced that I was hell-bound if I stopped veiling. I don't believe that a bareheaded wife is dishonoring her husband if she does not veil. Submission is a matter of the heart, like all biblical principles. Our hearts are tested, and our outward appearance should reflect the heart of God, but not in ways that put us in bondage. God bless you and thank you for your videos! :)

@SarahsDaughter1 ((Hugs))You are NOT hell bound if you stop veiling. That is so wrong of them. I do believe it to be a honor/dishonor issue. Ultimately the important thing is that you have your heart in line with God's. I do not advocate any sister cover unless she is convinced it is good. More importantly, that her husband allows it. I do not agree that the covering puts us in bondage. It can be made into that, but that doesn't mean it has to be when worn in the right spirit. Blessings

I may be wrong, sister, but this video seems to be directed very much toward me and the video I have made regarding why I do not cover anymore. You are right in saying that veiling is not a matter of sinning or obeying, but about honoring/dishonoring one's husband (or in the case of daughters, their earthly father). I want to say that for me, the path of veiling TURNED INTO a path of legalism, for me, personally. It was a gateway to an entire list of dos and donts that I had believed.

[radicallyforjesus]

@SarahsDaughter1 This video series isn't directed at any one sister. But many were indeed on my mind. Yes, you were one of them. But I truly don't think of you in a poor or negative way. You remind me of me when I first began covering, and then had my period of taking it off and questioning it. I said almost the exact same things. So, please sweet sister, don't think for a second that I think badly of you. I know you are just trying to please the Lord.

good video

your veil looks beautiful

i completly agree with you that modern modest is right as well but your amish mennonite dresses look great

where do you get them from?

[radicallyforjesus]

@locigallady Thank you. I sew my own clothing for the most part. It is very rare for me to wear something store bought nowadays. If I do, it tends to be a thrift store find and something like a jumper I just happened to find.

@radicallyforjesus ... what type of material do you recommend for someone like me... something that is not make me sweat so much... I prefer little Ironing or non at all... if there are Patterns that you recommend also... if possible... I appreciate all you help... God Bless

[radicallyforjesus]

@TheVeiledCatholic I would strongly recommend a polycotton blend. The poly allows it to wrinkle less. The cotton helps keep you cooler. The best fabrics I know of for that are called Tropical Breeze. A Mennonite website called Gehmans Country Fabrics sells them. I have the same problem as you. Though I do often wear a polyknit fabric. It tends to be warmer since it is all poly, but I love the stretch of the knit. It makes my dresses very comfy. That fabric can be found at JoAnns.

@TheVeiledCatholic Pattern wise.... google Friends Patterns or Candle on the Hill...both are excellent sites. My personal pattern is a custom one. You can also buy a basic pattern even at Walmart and just modify it if your sewing skills allow for that.

[TheVeiledCatholic]

After I started watching your videos... it came to my mind about the Plain, Amish, Mennonite type of dress code... and I became more interested in Plain Dress... I spoke to my husband about it and he agreed that it is a better way of dressing... He would rather me be looked at as a Amish or Mennonite, then Muslim... because they are considered Christian... I agree with everything you said in the video... I had a question for you Sister... Do you make your own dresses? God Bless

[radicallyforjesus]

@TheVeiledCatholic Honestly, I used to wear the full veiling too, and also quit because of not wanting the credit to go to the Islam faith. I much prefer to be thought of as an Amish or Mennonite. (which I do attend a Mennonite church when able). It was also to please my husband's preferences. I do sew most of my clothing. Blessings

@TheVeiledCatholic , i used to do full veil also, and then switched to more plain type cloths. Not totally plain, I usually wear a long skirt with a shirt, but do have a couple of dresses. I veil at church, my husband interpreted for me that to veil at church is most important, he prefers me not to veil outside of church except with long hair. You will look great, and I think you and your husband are very wise. I usually veil with a snood. Katie's mercantile online is great, since i cannot sew.

@jessica22481 ... that is awesome Jessica... wow this website is nice ... thank you for sharing it with us all... Peace

[jessica22481]

@TheVeiledCatholic , your welcome, I know I LOVE LOVE LOVE Katie's mercantile. The prices are pretty reasonable, they are really nice and the orders are shipped with great timing, I have ordered skirts, aprons, and dresses from there :D

love of Christ, Jessica +++
