Submission?

I'm not a submissive person by nature. I have to admit it. I'm really not. Both of my parents gave me a very, very stubborn heart (I inherited it from them). I have a hard time with being a sweet, submissive girl. It's something I need to work on. Something I've been trying to work on for quite a while.

I'm 18 years old. I feel like my parents keep me in a 10 year old's box. I have a hard time submitting to their authority. I don't understand why they won't let me do things that seem so trivial. I don't understand why they have to protect me when I should be old enough to choose the right things. 

But I am trying.

My dad has decided that he wants me to wear skirts. All the time. I understand his reasoning (he thinks it's more modest), but I'm not happy about it. I don't want to wear skirts all the time. I love my jeans. 

So, even though I do not agree with my father, I love him dearly, and I want to honor his decisions. I've been wearing skirts all week. And not complaining about it, either. Maybe this will be a first step to being more submissive in general. 

Maybe. =)

I know what you are saying I all ways thought that Submission was just with a husband, but I have learned that it is with anyone that has authority over you. And I don't do well with that I want to do my own thing at my own time. I pray things work out and keep a good heart about it all.

It is not always easy to honor our parents but I think you are doing a great job here.

Interesting. I was raised in a religious group that firmly believed skirts to be more modest. I have mixed feelings on that issue and many others, but I think it's great that you respect your father enough to honor his wishes.
