I woke up this morning so excited to wear my new shirt from Winter Jam (thank you Newsong)!
Almost problem was that the devil was working hard-
I actually second guessed wearing this to work today!
I have never wasted a minute thinking about whether I should or should not put on anything proclaiming my Lord. I just haven't... until today. That is upsetting to me, but very eye-opening.
It made me very aware of how thankful I should be for my employer. It upset me that there are a lot of places this would not be acceptable. It made me very mad that this is actually a choice that Christians have to be concerned about.
I love that I have so many customers that come through who are encouraged by what I wear or encourage me. I am not ashamed of my faith, but I was ashamed this morning that I was scared to wear this shirt.
I understand and respect the need for dress codes at work; I truly do. It just had me thinking all the way to work this morning about how many things I would not be able to wear if I worked somewhere else, what I take for granted, and how different my life could be just from a restriction to "materially" expressing my faith. I know our world is getting ridiculous... What would I do?
