The biggest thing for me to accept was attending a church that believed as I did. Sound strange? Understand that I was used to the UPC way of life, and even though I'd changed, it was difficult to realize there were others like me. It took a while for me to stop focusing on the women wearing pants on the platform and put my eyes on Jesus. All my life I'd been taught to judge people by how they looked, and it's hard to change that kind of thinking very quick. I still struggle, I admit.
I do watch in awe now at people who love God in spite of what they are wearing. God doesn't care, why should I?

We've been programmed a certain way for a LONG time. Our brains don't rewire themselves overnight. Our brains have been trained to respond to certain visual triggers.
It's been very humbling to me to realize how much I have judged people merely by their appearance.
