Day 14 Of Reformation

I went to the hairdressers with Alyssa today, and while I was enjoying chatting with her and my hairdresser, we got talking about the Reformation that I am on. He laughed alot and we dialouged about judgement.

I met my hairdresser by an answered prayer. When I moved to Kelowna, I asked God for a divine appointment, and I met Paul. He had literally just given his heart to the Lord, had just come out of a really rough life, and needed encouragement. Long story short, I shared about Jesus freely and openly with him, he met my whole family, starting cutting all of our hair, and then, as usual, we snagged him to come to our home, and be a part of our extended family. 1 year later, he is doing tremendous and God has got him on an awesome upward path. We are so proud of him.

So, as we chatted about judgement today, and he laughed at the times I fell off the wagon. All the while I was leafing through a hairstyle magazine. Paul and I had decided that I was going to grow out my hair a few months ago, but then................ well I saw a funky pixie cut, and he said, Yah! I think you'd look great in that! Alyssa said,"come on mom you're already on a reformation, go all the way. Do something drastic.

Next thing you know I was loosing my locks that I had tried so hard to grow for months. You know what, I'm ready for the change, might as well................. nothing to lose, only great things to gain.

It was customer appreciation day at the salon, so we got a discount, and then I got to pop a balloon to try and win a prize. I decided that I was going to declare my winning. I said, God I am ready for a good win, I want something cool. I ended up getting the best prize of the day.............. FREE highlights.............. then I got to open an easter egg, and got the best gift in the basket! A free travel pack of goodies!!! Kinda cool, and I am learning to speak positive into even the most simplest of situations. Instead of making a judgement and saying , I NEVER WIN, I decided to declare in my heart that I would.

Kinda cool. And I like my cool majorly different haircut ............ I say that in faith, so that tomorrow when I realize how much is gone, I won't freak.

Funny, before I got the haircut, I was telling my hairdresser about all my bad experiences with "pixie cuts" as a young girl.

I decided to break the cycle, break the curse or vows and go for a pixie cut again, with new hope.

I'm glad I did................ through it, I am learning to love myself more, and break out of the old negative thoughts about short haircuts!!!
