A Lesson Learned...

 

 

 


Well straightening my hair worked- but not without some consequences. There is some damaged done. As I sit here realizing how selfish and stupid it is to desire something that God did not give me in the first place. Curly hair is what God has given me. Here I was wanting it to have straight and managable hair. why is that? What motivates one to put these harsh chemicals on themselves- for good looks?well honestly it did not "improve" my looks. So wonder what makes one do this to themselves? Approval? Desire to be someone they are not? Is it pressure to maintain a certain look because that is what society says.
In my mind I say "who cares what society or others say", but do we really act like we do not care. Can we manage to be separate from the world, that much!!?

Lord forgive me for not being content in who I am and what you have created in me! Teach me Lord through your Word- to see myself through your eyes and to love myself as you love me!


Love In Christ

    You have come to the conclusion that I have also. I no longer perm my hair and I am letting it grow out to it's natural state, for this very reason. I desire to be who God created me to be. If I was meant to have straight hair, He would have given it to me. I am not so concerned with what others think, but it took me years to get to this point.

    Also after years of perming my hair, and seeing your pictures of what was done, I can see what was done wrong...the perm was to only be placed on the new growth, not on all of your hair. Thereby, the rest of your hair was over processed because it had already been permed previously; the new growth has not.

    However, even with knowing that, WE LOVE YOUR HAIR just the way God gave it to you!!!!!

    Amen! Just today I bought a box of hair color. Every time I color my hair I think "this is crazy". I once had a sweet godly Titus 2 woman tell me that gray hair was the crowning glory of women...she had a full head of white hair. She was really cute too. I've pondered her words ever since and often thought that she was right...and yet here I am with my box of "light brown hair color". Crazy.

    Thank you for your sweet words and the reminder to be content with who I am - the person who God created me to be - gray hair and all. ;)

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
