i got a bad haircut.

i'd been dying to get a haircut for awhile now, but i wanted to wait until my hair/bangs were long enough to be fixable. yesterday, i went to get my haircut at the place i usually go to. i showed her what i wanted: just the basic trim and short bangs like i usually do. she shampooed my hair and then the haircut was underway. after about 30 minutes into my haircut, i mentally gasped in horror. i had completely forgotten to incorporate God into this part of my day!!!!! this might sound silly to you to think such a small thing like getting a haircut could be of importance to God.. but God deserves to be a part of EVERY part of my day.. whether i'm running errands or spending time with Him.. He should be in it, 100%.

so, i got a bad haircut. my bangs make me look super fobby and really asian.. but oh well. just a reminder to me to constantly be conversing with God every hour of my day because i need Him always. and it's ALSO a reminder that beauty is only skin deep. you can cut your hair to where it looks perfect, wear the best makeup, have the best clothes, etc etc etc.. but if your heart for God isn't right, all of the above isn't worth anything.

i continue to praise You, even with my fobby bangs :)




Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful.
