My way to decency. Part. 1.

This testimony is first of all to all the women who are saved and born again.

When I was 20 years old (over 35 years ago), I lived together with some Danish missionaries in Greece for some months, helping out with looking after some of the children, cooking and washing dishes and clothes etc.

When I traveled with them, I had to dress decent with full length dresses&skirts and cover the head, and I was satisfied with that, in so much that it became natural to me.

After I had lived in Greece for an half year, I (unfortunately) got "homesick" and went back to Norway again.

I continued to dress decent etc., even if very few of the other young (and elderly) women did it, because I felt comfortable with it and was considering that it was Biblical to do so.

We were 3 young women from a congregation who shared one apartment together, and the dad of one of them, came to visit me one day. I had deep respect for him and his opinions, but I know that in this case I shouldn't have listened to him, cause he managed to talk me out of my decent behavior, telling me that "it wasn't the will of God that I should dress like that, or not cut my hair short or use headcover, cause God want you to be free."

What a bunch of lies he told me, but unfortunately I chose to believe in him, and I stopped dressing decently, I cut my hair and didn't use headcover anymore. Even if I know today that the Lord has forgiven me for this, I still feel sorrow 😔 when I think about how I grieved His Holy Spirit. I remember that I felt sorrow inside me immediately when I did what I did back then, but I felt like it was no turning back.

Little by little after I had done this, I slowly started to go back to the world again! Exactly what the enemy wanted to obtain.

So, I was back in the "pigsty" again for a while, until I heard the Lord calling me back to Him, and I came "crawling" back.
