It's been 3 years since I first blogged about head covering. Primarily I am speaking of head covering for women who are followers of Yahusha/Jesus. I am still covering for Holy Days including every Shabbat. As I was studying this subject 3 years ago, I was listening to other women's testimonies regarding head covering. One comment stood out to me: be consistent. Whichever way I decide to implement covering in my life, I'm to be consistent. And I have been.
I still feel (my personal beliefs, not Scripture) that covering is one way I make the Holy Days more special. I wear a variety of styles and colors of head coverings, so to me it's fun to coordinate my clothing with my scarfs. Lately I've been sorting my outfits for Sukkot, and matching scarfs to them. When I'm at Sukkot I blend in, many ladies cover, but in regular life, I'm always the only one. And I don't mind. Clearly, I am set apart from the others.
I still enjoy the sense of security my head covering gives me, and the respect I get from strangers, but the attentiveness I receive from my husband is the confirmation I need. Why? Well bottom line, my head covering is an outward expression of my submissiveness to my husband. He never requested it, but he was present when I was studying these things and he understands the why. He is the head of our household, and I will always honor him.
Still a work in progress
