A Woman's Hair

I've wanted to do this blog topic for a long time. Blogging to me is like journaling/a book/a way to stay in touch and I thoroughly enjoy it. So, I have my coffee and I am ready to do this. :)
I have wanted to do a blog on hair, particulary women's hair for a long time. I was raised Apostolic Pentecostal and I was taught that a girl or woman was not supposed to cut her hair according to the Bible.
Let's read the scripture:
I Corinthians 11:13-15
"Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering."
If you look up the Greek word "long" in these scriptures, you will find the definition "uncut." Long, according to the scriptures, is uncut. If you read the verses prior to these you will understand Paul is talking about authority: I Corinthians 11:3 "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ: and the head of the woman is the man: and the head of Christ is God."
Verse 10 says "For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels."
I believe when a woman obeys the Holy Scripture and leaves her hair uncut and let to grow, that she has power in the spiritual realm.
I'll be honest, I have disobeyed the scripture in my lifetime, but I have repented, and I now am growing my hair without cutting it.
Praise God for women of God who obey all the scripture.
Study history; all women used to grow their hair and not cut it. It was a shame if a woman did cut it. We need to go back to the book, the Bible.
"Thus saith theLORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls." Jeremiah 6:16a
Praise God for Godly women of God who will do what is right and live holy!
