If men lust for me because of it, that is their own fault and they're problem to deal with. What I choose to do with my hair is my own decision. I consider myself in no way immoral or indecent, I just don't take kindly to being categorized. I feel that my hair is my own, and I should cover it only if I want to.

They're very simple and white. (I have no problem with black or other colors, I just prefer white because it's a color that speak of purity, surrender, and radiance.) I haven't the time right now but I will try to find some websites and some information of places where you can purchase different kinds of headcoverings. When/If I do, I will put them here on this post for you. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. :( Have a lovely evening! ~Anne Mommajo,

This has been a new conviction for me, not something I was taught growing up, so I really appreciate hearing others share. Like you said, it was me reading the scripture and the Holy Spirit convicting me personally. May I ask where you purchase your headcoverings? Thanks! MintheGap.. I agree with your train of thought. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Mommajos last blog post..<a href="http://makingjesusmypearl.blogspot.com/2009/01/headcovering-putting-feet-to-my.html" rel="nofollow">Headcovering... putting feet to my convictions</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Anne,

MOST girls DON'T grow up being taught to wear a head covering. That's one reason why I said I don't think it's a matter of Salvation. How can you know to wear one if you've never heard of it??? So, yes I agree with you. I think you are right MIntheGap. MOST girls DON’T grow up being taught to wear a head covering. That’s one reason why I said I don’t think it’s a matter of Salvation.

Let me run with your comment for a minute-- we all know that as we sin more, and get further from God, the easier it is to sin. For the believe, we can even sear our conscience to the point that what we once believe was wrong is no longer wrong. So... Not wearing a head covering could be a part of falling away in terms of dress. The first problem with the theory is that I don't believe that most girls grow up believing it to be wrong not to wear a head covering-- so they would have no reference from which to deviate. Nor would I expect that it would be a natural thing to think "Oh, I have this feeling I should wear a hat" apart from Scripture. However, to counter the thought, if a person were reading the Scripture and saw that they should wear a head covering and then chose not to, I could see where that could erode that person or the family's view of the authority of Scripture-- and that could lead to more sin.

Now, there are no specifications in I Cor. 11 as to what is this veiling/covering should literally look like. That is why I don't think it is right to make rules that you have to wear a certain kind. I wear a white, hanging veil (covers part of the top of my head and hangs to my hairline at top of my neck.) By no means do I think everyone has to wear one like I do. In fact, we have several different types of veilings/coverings within our church. As I said before, this is something I've always been taught. But, that is NOT (the sole reason)why I wear a veiling. It is because of my own conviction, and in obedience to God. I do NOT see it as an issue of Salvation. God leads different people to different places. We must each be faithful in following Him as He leads! I have always been taught that a Christian woman should cover her head, according to the commands of Scripture.
