Yeah. I think that because of the culture, um, and what we were taught, I think because of Bill Gothard's teachings, we thought that that was the best way to honor God. And that's really what we were kind of taught. And so I thought that like those convictions were my convictions too, because I thought that's what the Bible wanted me to do is like to wear skirts only, um,

And I think that there might've been some of the siblings who pushed against it. I didn't, we wouldn't really talk about that if there was like publicly. So I don't know. But for my, for me, I just remember one time where it was that swimsuit that I was going to have to wear. And all the, all these people were like going to the lake or whatever.

My family was there visiting some friends out of state. And I just remember like saying, I'm not going to wear that. I'm too embarrassed. And I just did not go in the water of course. And I didn't know how to swim anyways. So I was also embarrassed about that. But I just remember not going in the water at all that day. Cause I was like too embarrassed about my swimsuit. So.

Yeah. The one that goes like all the way down, you know, and then it's like the dress thing and it was, yeah. And those friends were not just like us either. So, you know, they were probably wearing shorts and a t-shirt or something and they water with us. But I just was like, I just better. I was like, I'm not doing this. And I felt so bad for having, for feeling like I didn't want to wear that.

I mean, I disobeyed them, but not like rebellion type things. Like I can't think of, I wasn't a rebellious child. So I wasn't going to push the boundaries. Like I said, I just want to keep everybody happy. And I think that they probably saw me as like one of the most compliant kids ever. And probably would have never expected me of all the kids to like, to change anything.

Because if I saw that something was in the Bible, I was like, well, I want to obey God. So I'm going to do that. Um, but then once I saw like, okay, these teachings are not accurate and it's actually not what the Bible says. Then I knew before God, I wasn't sitting, I was doing what was right and I'm honoring God. So at some point I'm gonna have to step out and just live that out.
