It occurs to me that someone might be wondering why the page is called Doubly Covered Sojourner. Well, the sojourner part is easy-this world is not my home. As for the other part, a short explanation. Doubly covered, covered twice. First, and definitely more importantly, my life, my spirit, is covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. Through this blood, I am protected, delivered, healed, and I have eternal life. His blood has within it the power to destroy any and all attempts by the enemy to attack me. For the blessings of the blood of Jesus I am forever grateful.
As for the second "covered", I am talking about the fact that I am following the scriptures command of 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, in which God commands that women who speak the Word of God outside their homes have their heads covered. God gives no orders as to what type of covering we are to use, only that we are to be covered. I personally have used everything from scarves to hats to beanies. And since there's no specific outline of the exact type of covering, I kind of feel that churches that ordain specific rules and regulations concerning the size, shape, color or design are adding man-made ordinances to the scriptures. The covering is meant to be an outward visible sign that the woman accepts her position in the God-ordained headship order. It's not a magic formula, and wearing it doesn't mean you are holier than those who don't. It's simply a sign between you and God. Easy, feminine, obedience.
