Head Covering - My Testimony

  Hi everyone! I 'm so sorry I haven't had the chance to update my blog sooner! I've been super busy, packing, cleaning, and all the other stuff that comes with moving :P But that doesn't mean you guys aren't in my thoughts ♥! I'm hoping to post some before and after pics of some of the rooms in our new house. We are going to be repairing, repainting, and of course decorating the whole house. It's gonna be fun!!!
   Ever since I posted a post on modest fashion, I've had a few girls ask me where I stand on the issue of head covering, one of whom asked for me to share how I came to start wearing them, and my convictions on this issue.
  When I was around 5 or 6, my Mom became convicted to cover her head during times of worship because of 1 Corinthians 11:3-15.  She started to cover my hair as well. As time went on, we realized that in order to fully obey 1 Cor. 11:5,13, we would need to cover our heads daily. At first, my Dad wasn't sure whether he agreed with our convictions, but eventually, he grew to agree and appreciate them. We have experimented with several kinds of head coverings. The styles we like best look something like this :
