I HATE when people put so much emphasis on 'what to wear' to church and how we MUST wear our very, very best for HIM. I'm with you, Sibi....he doesn't care one iota what we have on, and I don't think to 'dress up' is to necessarily show respect. There are some days that I feel like dressing up for church and some that I don't. But either way....I ALWAYS wear my cowboy boots. And yep....sometimes I get lots of stares. Not admiring ones either. I feel sorry for those people.Kathie Truitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112414357583203795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-3551879697231503352012-02-29T19:26:15.516-06:002012-02-29T19:26:15.516-06:00God Bless You...There are no words..no words to de...God Bless You...There are no words..no words to describe the Blessing that you are.

I remember vividly a woman in a Bible study telling me one day that I obviously was not as far along on my walk with the Lord as she was. I wanted to disappear tight then and there. She said it in front of the whole group!<br /><br />Now I have the wisdom and confidence and I would say, "I didn't know it was a race." But back then, I shrunk n my seat with embarrassment.<br /><br />Tonight, I am speaking to a group of married couples at our church and one of the first things I tell them is that my marriage is not perfect and I yell at my kids sometimes:) I pepper my talk with examples of how I (we) have messed up as spouses and parents and what we do to try to get it right (failing regularly though). <br /><br />I know y'all are going to be GREAT!3 Peanutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124969727188599965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-9270821540450810512012-02-24T15:32:25.058-06:002012-02-24T15:32:25.058-06:00I know all about some Holy Rollers! ;) I have eith...I know all about some Holy Rollers! ;) I have either been Baptist or Church of God all my life..until the past two years, when I decided NOT to say that. I am a Christian, and child of God, and Jesus lover! Not a denomination...<br />Anyway, I had a VERY similar experience after I had my firstborn. Though I was "married", he did not attend church with us...so I didn't really FIT into any of the groups/classes either. I undersatnd the different classes and their benefits, however there needs to be some kind of transitional classes or something where WHOSOEVER will "fit". <br />Another example of this is after "youth". All of a sudden the 18 year olds are adults and can't be in youth...no transition at all. I know some churches have these things, but not many.<br /><br />OK...off my little rant now...<br /><br />I love your heart Sibi and I know this event will be Beautiful and full of LOVE!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615515543530310328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-39649769604317914812012-02-24T08:38:58.706-06:002012-02-24T08:38:58.706-06:00isn't that awful that so many have that same e...isn't that awful that so many have that same experience..in a church for crying out loud? awful. hypocritical. isolation. hurt. <br />you encourage so many that were scarred the same way. you have such a powerful message. big hair or not, i love it.<br />& i love you<br />xopaigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470201808290045840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-68031027083486416272012-02-24T01:00:25.699-06:002012-02-24T01:00:25.699-06:00you are so fabulously gifted and use your life for...you are so fabulously gifted and use your life for His kingdom. I just love reading your words of vulnerability and truth. Never once have I thought you were a Holy Roller...and learning more about you confirms it. NewsFlash - you're flawed....like me. Hello, sister!<br /><br />I've said it a BA-GILLION times, I so wish I were on my way to the Pearl Event in 2 weeks. I have been keeping my eye on airfare, and it is just so brutal. <br /><br />BUT - I will be praying for you & can't wait to hear all about it. Better not leave out a single detail, y'all!

Remember that...I am so sorry that happened to you! Remember that scene in Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts goes back into the dress shop that snubbed her when she was wearing her "hooker clothes" and she went back in after she was all cleaned up with money and says, "big mistake...huge!" That scene came to my mind as I read your post about that church lady. I am firmly convinced that when Christ returns, he will be a "least of these" in some way, shape, or form. Therefore, I say, be nice to everyone. Make eye contact. Say hello. I don't think anyone who reads your blog would think of you as the church lady from your past.Tamara Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142428710522325343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859334581397580560.post-10213194282555039752012-02-23T19:30:11.070-06:002012-02-23T19:30:11.070-06:00You are walking in our "Daddy's" lig...You are walking in our "Daddy's" light!

Really, what to wear to church??? That is NOT the God I know (though my mom would say that you should look your best for Him!). I'm not attending your event, but I'm excited to read about it through you and the others. I know it will be nothing but phenomenal and I wish I could experience all the hugs that are going to go on that day.
