Hijab

I envy the Muslim woman for one thing: the hijab. I think head covers are the most elegant expression of a woman's true beauty. It speaks of humility, submission, and inner beauty. I wish I could wear these every day.
Now one might ask, "Well then why don't you?" Unfortuntally, it is no longer culturally acceptable. If you wear a head covering, people assume you are Muslim. I don't want other to think I worship Allah. That is a wretched defilement of the truth. Yeshua is the true God!
 I was watching The Nativity Story and I was struck by the beauty of Mary in the movie. Her head covering wasn't ornate. It was made of a simple, boring material. However, it made her raident. Mary's greatest quality was her humility and discretion.
I wish I could start a female revolution in the Christian world. I wish we could fall in love with modesty.I even thought about creating head dresses that have Christian images on them. Fashion statement!
I would never force anyone to wear modest clothing. The Holy Spirit gives us more than the need to obey His laws; He gives us the "want" to obey His laws.

A Time for Silence

Proverbs is full of wisdom. While meditating on these nuggets of gold, I have decided to step away from facebook. Facebook is an excuse to lose discretion. It is structured in such a way that our tongues become idols. In Proverbs 1, wisdom is found crying out. Later, wisdom discerns the season and turns to silence.

Coming Soon

Most radical Christians know that Christ is coming soon. They believe the faithful and true proclamations in Revelation, which attest that His return will be swift. During political upheaval, it is easy to latch on to this notion. After all, God said there will be wars and rumors of war. There will be famines and earthquakes. It seems to me that these birthing pains are increasing.
I have the scary mission of writing an essay for my class, which talks about the UN's dealing with Israel. I have had multiple dreams about this topic now. I guess it is on my heart. But, I started writing the essay and felt the necessity to use Psalm 2 as a reference. It isn't even a text I need to manipulate to fit. It speaks directly to what I am writing about in the essay. I also listened to this prayer set (LINK) while I was searching for journals online. It messed with my passivity and lack of expectancy. God is coming to reign!
