Re: Your experience when you dropped "dress standa

Mine was about 2 yrs ago, but maybe closer to 1 and 1/2 yrs. It started when for me to be an issue years before though I still followed them out of fear. I did alot of personal devotions and prayer. There was no big flash of light or anything, but just woke up one day put on a pair of shorts and did not feel bad about it. Now I am wearing shorts around my UPC pastor...he does not care too much either. I do go to movies and things, but nothing too much different that before. One thing is for sure that when I started not following the 'dress code' I had to rely on a me and God walk not a me my pastor and God. It was not the easiest of choices, but it certainly was a good one. I wish I could say I feel a ton different and I really don't except for the mindset. I do have a more person walk with God and I do not feel that I have to measure up to anyone but the Lord. I don't have to measure to what some thinks the Lord said, but to what the Lord tells me through prayer, scriptures and revelation from prayer and scripture reading.
