Wrapped in Instruction

Responding gently to curiosity.

Being disobedience to avoid being misunderstood.

That was 48.

Covering in confidence because God said so.

Rooted in reverence, not religion.

This is 49.

Obedience > optics

Devotion > definition

Calling > comfort

I talk to God every day, all day. Most times, my prayers are full of asking. Whether it’s wisdom, protection, or covering my son…

I’m always asking.

Eventually, I asked a different question.

What does God want from me?

Not perfection. Not constant striving. Not a list of good deeds.

What He wants is relationship.

Closeness. Honesty. Surrender. Trust.

I didn’t wrap my hair to make a statement. I didn’t begin covering my hair because of religion. I didn’t wrap for a title. I wrapped for trust. I did it because God told me to.

It was quiet and sacred.

No loud announcement. No pressure.

Just instruction and peace.

Truthfully there are days I choose not to cover… not out of rebellion… everything I do is Spirit-led, and some days, the instruction is simply to be.

People ask if I’m Muslim, and I say no.

I get why they ask. I’ve learned curiosity is part of connection, especially when someone changes.

Honestly, if I wasn’t walking this path myself, I’d probably ask too.

Just yesterday I hesitated to call myself a Christian, not because of Christ, but because I confused the faith with the reflections of people I’d encountered. I’ve come to realize that my root has always been in Him.

My spiritual path flows through many streams from Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, to Indigenous wisdom.

Celtic spirituality taught me to honor the land, to listen to the wind, to walk with ancestors and saints. It gave my Christianity rhythm, breath, and poetry. It made space for mystery and stillness and even when I didn’t have language for it, it wrapped itself around my spirit and whispered, “This is sacred too.”

My foundation is Christian, but it’s the Celtic spirit that sings to my soul in whispers and wind. The kind of spirituality that refuses to let me forget who I am.

So no, this isn’t about religion.

It’s about reverence.

It’s about obedience.

It’s about answering God in whatever form God shows up… and lately, for me, God showed up with the simple instruction: cover your crown.

Micah 6:8 reminds us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly. This is part of my walk. Not for applause. Not for explanation. Just for alignment.

Prayer:

God, thank You for guiding me in ways that don’t always make sense to others but make peace within me.

Help me move in obedience, wrapped in reverence, clothed in compassion.

I seal this prayer in honor. Amen.
