Some News

Nothing much going on here lately. We have been waiting for our dog, Angel, to have her puppies. She's over her due date. Her temperature has dropped (which indicates that she should be going into labor within the next 12-24 hours.) Hopefully, she doesn't have any complications and she will have them before the weekend is over.

We just purchased a new stud dog. His name is Cedar. (I'll have to post pictures of him when I get a chance.) I plan on showing him in Dog Shows and Obedience Trials. I hope he's a fast learner, because when he's with me, he's got to learn a lot! ;o)

My Grandparents are coming over tomorrow for dinner. Hopefully, Angel doesn't have her puppies while they're here, because there won't be a lot of conversation! :o)

My graduation party is coming up on May 15th. There is a lot of planning to go into that. I still can't believe that I am graduating this year! Some things just don't seem possible. I am however, very happy that formal schooling is done. That gives me a lot more time to pursue things of interest to me. What are you all interested in? I would love to hear! Please, don't hesitate to leave a comment and tell me what you think! In my next post, I'll fill you all in!

What a Difference!

Lately, I have been really studying certain passages in the Bible and wanting to know what God wants me to do. One of the biggest ones was 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 which says: " But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of every woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. But every woman the prayeth of prophesying with her head uncovered dishonorth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for the woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the mane created for the woman; but the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman to have power (a symbol of authority) on her head because of the angels. Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman, but all things of God. Judge in yourselves: is it comely that the woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. But it a man seem to be to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God."

Have you ever read a passage of scripture before and it never stood out to you? Well, this was one for me. As I have studied this and prayed about this for days, I feel that this passage of scripture means that when you do not have authority when you pray, (such as a father or husband) that you need to cover your head, as it is an outward symbol of submission. I have struggled with this passage before, but until know, I have never felt any conviction to take this for myself. Now that I have, I fell such a peace, following the Lord with all that I am. Really taking the whole Bible, and not just the parts that you want to take, is the only way you can live. I have found that out these last few weeks, and what an amazing difference it has made in my life!
