I went home this past weekend and Saturday when I got home I did have my veil on and my dad said not a word to me. So Sunday I decided to try a little "experiment". We had gotten lots of snow so I knew we wouldn't be going out nor would anybody be coming over, so instead of putting my veil on, I left my hair in a bun and guess what? My dad actually talked to me quite a bit.
How is it that wearing a veil changes whether a father will talk to his own child or not? I struggled before I moved out whether to obey God and wear a covering or whether to obey my dad and not wear "that thing" in HIS house. Now that I've moved out, I do wear my covering nearly all the time, but when I go home I go back to my inner struggles. What do to? Wear a veil and not talk to my dad? Or not wear a veil and be able to talk to my dad? My mom and sister talk to me either way... no they do not agree with my conviction of covering, but they have come to accept it as mine and I do not impress my conviction upon them which heps immensely I do believe. Maybe time will help with my dad, but I am not sure. I disappointed him to no end when I decided not to go after engineering anymore and to follow God's push. All I can do is keep praying for strength and guidance in how to handle the situation, but no matter how easy it is to say that, it is hard for me to give everything up to the Lord and allow Him to have 100% control over my life.
Blessings in Christ,
