I need to post the latest photos of my hair length, but I can’t begin to start how humbling it is to have my hair growing long as it is…I say that because it just have become a visual reminder of the feminity that our Father blessed us with.
I need to see about getting the coconut oil as advised by Christian Homekeeping , but lately been distracted due to just taking a sabbatical and re-inventory in how things are done here at home and in my personal relationship with our Father (namely being more effective and focus in prayer and studying His Word).
Funny thing, the neighbors have commented about my hair length in a “oh….you’re hair is long…” while all sporting bobs and such and then commenting about my homeschooling, which has me left in a sense of, “are they complimenting me or making an indirect comment without trying to sound rude”.
Honestly.
This is a decision our Father convicted my heart of.
Something that I stand by, for Him, on.
So we go to church, my hair is long, I’m starting to wear skirts a little bit more and I stay at home.
It’s actually a comfort following what our Father calls our hearts to lead.
It’s nice to actually…well..feel free to feel more and more like a woman and a daughter of our Father.

The more feminine you look the more critics you will get. I get looks, comments, rude comments all the time – it is something I’m used to and don’t let it bother me much anymore because I know the root of it is from conviction from others. Just seeing a woman with long flowing hair and a dress makes some women convulse and get mad. You won’t have to say anything because you will be glowing with femininity and that alone is enough to render the looks and stares. You will be peculiar – separate from the world.
Don’t let it stop you but only make you see the greater problem with our society (blurring of the lines). I received criticism just the other day that was a bit hard to handle but I took it to the Lord and he comforted me. It came from someone who looks like a man and once I saw it was motivated by her own conviction – I let it go. I had not said anything about hair, it just got blurted out by this lady and you could feel the hate behind it that I had long hair. It was weird but showed me even more that my glory is a testimony to the femininity God wants others to see – the distinction that I am a woman. That is so hard for some to bear, they would rather us all look as close to a man as possible to soothe their own rebellion.

That’s been a struggle for me; Just readusting and re-learning..what does it mean to be a woman and particularly a woman in our Father’s eyes, not the world.
It’s funny when making the decision to wear skirts and to grow my hair out long, how it’s become “unfeminine” to do so!
