The Way to Happiness

Searching

Greetings again to everyone who reads this! I am quite bad at keeping a blog going, it seems. I'm also not quite good at keeping up with my emails and I apologize for that.

The Lord is still working on me and I feel like I'm ever evolving. There have been many changes in me over the past several weeks and I'm still trying to keep up with it!

I am dressing plain, again, and this is difficult for me because of the criticisms I get (or hear about from my friends), especially from the people I work with. I would much prefer, if someone wants to know "why is she dressing like that?!", that the person asks me directly, instead of asking my friend. It is very hard for me to stick to my convictions because of this.

I am also finding it difficult to explain why I dress plain, cover my head, etc. When I answer "because God asked me to", people get annoyed. When the question "Are you Amish?" comes up, and I answer in the negative, they look disappointed.

Please pray for me in this area. I need the strength to stick to my convictions in the face of this ridicule! I feel very blessed to have contact with other plain dressing Christians via the internet, which helps, although I do long for like-minded friends in person.

I must head out to work now. I hope to post a bit more later today. God Bless everyone!

Our family is Christian, although we don't dress plainly. I want to encourage your to continue doing what the Lord has called you to do even if the world considers it to be odd. Your witness is likely much more powerful than you realize! Blessings from the Big Sky Country........Denise (prairiemom)

Isabel Jane is a plain-dressing Quaker, and she is my friend. Go to her website - it is filled with knowledgable and supportive information! I found solace and strength there.
