Un-dressed

Master's brother is in town and we were thinking about going to church this morning but last night Master told me that He wanted me to wear a dress. In the past few months we've bought a few dresses, all of them sleeveless though and summer dresses. The dresses that i have aren't the kind that He likes. They aren't the kind of dresses that can be belted. The progress of finding affordable dresses is just slow when buying off the rack and Goodwill's selection is poor at best. i haven't tried Goodwill very often though and that's something that you have to do when you're really looking for something specific, you have to go a lot. So last night when we were talking about going to church Master said that He would want me to wear a dress.

Eeek! my heart leaped out of my chest because when He says He wants something like that, that i *know* i can't deliver, i know it's not going to go well. There just aren't any dresses here that are what He likes, something that fits and can be belted. Not only that, i was totally unprepared. Almost anything i chose would need to have been washed these dresses were hanging in closest for years and it was 11pm before He mentioned it. Honestly, i was doomed before the words came out of His mouth. i tried on many dresses last night, some i didn't even know we had and nothing worked. Again, anything would have had to have been washed and by then it was almost midnight.

Master told me that He's wanted me to start wearing dresses a long time ago and since then like i mentioned we bought some sleeveless ones off the rack and He gave me one right away. The rest are put away for Christmas. i can't wear them anyway, they are for summer. He was unbelievably angry at me for not being more prepared, for not trying harder and there was nothing i could say or do. He said that i should have been shopping at Goodwill more or on Ebay more. The thing is, i didn't know that i was supposed to be wearing a dress to church until 30 minutes ago nor did i know that i was supposed to have dresses on hand to wear at a moments notice. Now, i do. Master likes the element of surprise, He thinks it keeps me on my toes for some things and He's right. It helps me not to over think or freak out about things. For this though, it completely set me up to totally fail and because of it, because He said we were going to church only if i was wearing a dress, we missed church. One big fat fail for me i went to bed feeling terrible.

Peace to you and yours,

MD's treasure


**i am sorry Master, sometimes i'm just too thick, i've always said i need it all written out in black and white. i should have been more prepared and i should have had some acceptable dresses already, it's been far too long. i'll make it a priority.

i love You.

Your,
