One, it just being more relaxed overall and the people there, the students there having differing opinions.

So I had my first moment.

I remember I,

really having this bad feeling in my gut and kind of thinking huh that's convenient was when i was nine so i had gone to this and this all happened within a month period i was going to sunday school one day i was wearing a sundress and you know like thick sleeveless sundress but it was just above my knees because i'm tall uh and the teacher gave me the whole well you need to be careful what you wear because you're going to cause men to stumble

And I don't remember exactly what I said because my vocabulary is better now.

But I said something along the lines of if men are supposed to be the leaders, why can't we trust them to lead themselves?

Why is it on me, the child, to make sure it was something along that line in a much more nine year old fashion?

She got furious at me.

I was asked to leave Sunday school and I wasn't welcome back.

So after that, I went to adult church.

And within the next month, I heard my first wives submit to your husband's sermon.

And I'm sitting next to my dad was my only parent.

I'm sitting next to my dad with my Bible open.

And I can see the passage in Ephesians where the passage starts with the verse submit to one another in love before it jumps into wives.

And I see the husband's portion.

But the preacher didn't have time to get into any of those verses.

He just ran out of time.

He skipped that part.

And I'm sitting there and I remember just getting furious because I knew that it was unfair.

I knew I was like, that's not fair that like the wife has to be, doesn't get to make any decisions.
