Christian Veiling Blog

  Happy Friday! I pray that you have had a blessed day. I know for me especially, this has been a long week, but still highly rewarding. I am in the midst of trying to bounce back from a rough semester in college, but I can already see improvement. I just want to spread a little encouragement, I am still practicing veiling, and asking God why He has me doing this. And asking Him what He is trying to teach me. As I grow in my own journey, I also encourage you to seek wisdom in all things! I don't have much to say, but here is a devotional I read this morning based on the reading of Psalms 2!  https://www.spokengospel.com/devotionals/psalm-2#read May you have a blessed rest of your week. 

  I just want to encourage everyone today to be steadfast in their faith! Even as Christians, life can still happen to us. Things will not always be easy, but we have a God who loved us so much He sent His only Son to die for our sins. Trust in Him, that He will bless and keep you. Meditate in His word everyday, so that peace that surpasses all human understanding will stay in your life. I pray that you find everlasting joy, even during the storms in your life. That no matter what happens, it will work out for your good.  And pray that you will find a community of godly people so that you can help uplift each other. This verse was sent to me by a good friend of mine. We have mutually helped each other, and confided in each other as we walk our faith journeys. And today, she encouraged me by reminding me of what God has done for us, and how He has kept us even if we strayed away. Always turn back to God, who loves us unconditionally, and wants better for us than we can even im...

  Today, I was made aware of some things about some of the friends that I have in my life. I will be the first to say that I have a habit of trying to convince people to like me, and to stay in my life. And sometimes this can come off really strongly to some people. As I've gotten older, I have learned how to release the people who are no longer meant to be in my life, but I've had a bit of a relapse. For a long time, I've been searching for godly friends, and then I thought I found one. But what God had allowed me to do was see that person for who they really are. And they were not meant to be in the capacity that I was letting them be in, I was giving up control in our friendship and things have been spiraling since. But what God, through my mother, has reminded me, is that I shouldn't have to beg for people to stay in my life. God will restore whoever walks out with someone better than the last. Because God so loves us, He will not fail us in whatever areas in our li...

  In trying times such as these, with war on the horizon in many countries, a president who doesn't really care for the well-being of his citizens, and much more happening, the world seems to be crumbling before our eyes. But, we must put our hope in the Lord. Things may seem dire, but as believers we are set apart from the world. God will keep us. Keep in mind that might not look like what you want it to, but it will be what you need. Be still, wait for the Lord, and keep faith in Him. He loves you. 

God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is good. Today, I went through a mini crisis at school. The city in which I abide in for college underwent a "Boil Water" advisory. I called my mother and immediately she put out the word, and today I saw the full extent of the support system in my corner. I wouldn't have had this if it weren't for the Lord and His goodness. He keeps showing me that He is good, and faithful even when I am not. As the scripture says, "...Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him." And I am truly blessed, and truly favored.   

 For a long time, I have felt a pull. As a child I would have, as my mom would call them, "phases." Sometimes, I didn't want to wear anything but skirts and dresses, covering nearly every inch of my skin, or I would want to keep my head covered. Things like this that happened so consistently over the years, and in a pattern. But, some insecurity or another would cause me to drop my phases. It wasn't until I got to college that I understood what my calling was.  I personally believe that every Christian has their own walk with God, and what one does to get closer to Him, the other might not need to do. I had always been deeply uncomfortable if I wore something that I felt was too revealing, or too form fitting. And it didn't necessarily stem from insecurity of my own body, but a feeling of being immodest. Modesty can be a loose term, and what can be immodest for one person, doesn't make it immodest for the next. When it comes to modesty, for myself, I was drawn...
