Days passed and she doesn't know why she couldn't move on from what had happened concerning her faith. She's like thirsting for more.Weird. And the moment she realized it, she haven't felt it even before. The next morning on Thursday, the Preacher came back and asked her again if it's okay for her that he shares things concerning the Bible. She never hesitated but said yes to him. She was introduced to the Bible and she thought she knew it already but no. There are certain facts from it that she's not aware of. Women are not allowed to speak to the congregation. The authority should not be given to women but only for men.

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
—1 Corinthians 14:34

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
—1 Timothy 2:11

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
—1 Timothy 2:12

She was also taught about being modest with her appearance to help men avoid temptation from lust.

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
—Matthew 5:28

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
—1 Timothy 2:9-10

How could she ever missed that fact? After 3 years of  serving God in the same church she were in? She then felt guilt inside. Why would I be guilty from preaching to the congregation? Does that mean I'm violating what the Bible says?  Oh God, if ever I'm doing the wrong thing in front of you, please help me get out from it. She sighed.
