goodmorning lovely people! 

I hope you've had a great start to your week! It's rainy here and I'm enjoying a little down-time, as the little ones are playing well together. 

I mentioned in my last Thankful Thursday post; I have felt led to share my story with you all, for those who don't know it.  I am currently working on it, and hope to have it ready to post this Thursday.   Today, I want to take time and answer some questions I've been asked, regarding my faith.

_________________________________________________

First, and for the record... No, I am not Amish.  It's amazing how frequently I've been asked this. Now don't be embarrassed, it's an understandable question. I am a Mennonite; but most important, I am a christian! I am a follower of Jesus Christ and The Bible. I believe and know in my heart that God sent his only son to the earth as a baby, to teach and live a life of love, and ultimately be crucified on Calvary... for my sins... for your sins.  He rose from the dead and is alive. He is real and He desires an intimate relationship with each of us.            {I'll share more in the "my story" post.}

If you would like to read more about what we believe or our confession of faith, you can do so on our church's web page.

"That thing". Whether black or white, big or small, lacy or plain, it makes no difference. - "That thing," which is usually referred to as a head-covering, is a symbol taken from 1 Corinthians 11, 

⁵ But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. ⁶ For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.   

 and verse 10,

 ¹⁰ It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own^[c]

head, because of the angels.    

For me, it's all about conviction.  I am convicted to wear a covering {of some sort} that's why i do so.
