Dear VirginiaPreachers.com,
Me and along with my two boys moved from Tallahassee, FL to Virginia about 4 years ago. We moved because I met this wonderful man of God who is now my husband of four and a half years and now we have a son together. In Florida I was a member of an international/non-denominational church and now of course my family and I go to my husband's church here in VA. They praise god there and everything but I have always felt unwelcomed by some of the members of the church. They are very conservative and traditional (which doesn't have to be a bad thing). During service members of the church gawk at me and make comments when I walk by. I know for fact it's not paranoia because I over heard a few women saying something about me just last Sunday. But being the Christian that I am, I ignored it as if I didn't over hear them. Once one of the older ladies in the church came up to me and requested I wear skirts to church instead slacks. When I try to tell my husband, he believes I should just try to fit in and doesn't understand where I'm coming from. I love praising God and even more I love the worship experience, but lately I feel like the snickers and the evil looks are started to hinder my praise. My relationship with God has changed, my marriage is starting to suffer and I'm almost ready to give up and leave. You may say, not to pay attention to what others think but this has been going on for FOUR long years and every year it gets worse. I continue to pray things will get better, and my skin will get thicker but IT IS HARD. I don't want to step back into the flesh because satan will win. And I would leave if it weren't for my husband. I'm not sure what to do but I know one thing I want this to stop. What should I do? Should I try to ignore them, should I say something to them or to the Pastor, and what can I do to help my husband understand?
Sincerely,
Sick-n-tired
