The Lord started planting a seed around May 2005 when I had the opportunity to visit the website of a very ill young girl who has EOS disease and this girl wore a head covering. I thought that's nice, her denomination wears  head coverings. There was a link on her site to Charity Christian Fellowship so I checked it out. I "accidentally" came across a link on the site for an online book called Let Her Be Veiled. I read through this from beginning to end and was fascinated by what I read regarding 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 but I really wasn't sure. I decided to send some friends from a e-group I was in to the site to read the book and they felt it was false teaching.

I  however wasn't convinced but I put it on a back burner to think about later.

In August of the same year I was getting reading to go on a Christian family retreat and I knew that a lady who covers would be there and the subject of head covering came up again with my friends in this same e-group and the same anti-covering posts would come up. I knew God was trying to tell me something. So at the retreat I finally got up the nerve to ask this woman why she and her daughters wear a head covering and she explained she was obeying 1 Cor.11:1-16 and that it was a sign of submission to her husband.

So that evening I spent sometime reading 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 and the next night I read more and wrote down questions. I spent sometime over the next few days praying and reading the scriptures but I knew the Lord wanted me to cover my head.

I asked my husband how he would feel about it  and I explained why I wanted to cover and he gave his blessing.

I've been covering now since September 2005 and my prayer life has improved 100%. My husband has noticed the change in me and he is totally supporting me. He even decided to read a hard copy of Let her Be Veiled and is convinced that the covering is for today and not some old custom.

I pray that all who read my testimony will be blessed and encouraged.
