After much thought about my upcoming departure for India and the time involved in upkeep, Ive decided to give up my red hair and return to my natural color. Ive even come to terms with the dreaded gray hairs that will soon present themselves. Let me be transparent for a moment: This is a really big step for me as I havent had my natural hair color since I was 13 and Im now 40. For your information I spent most of my life trying to be someone I wasnt as I suffered a lot of rejection which manifested in me as low self-esteem and even self-hate among other things. There was a time I truly saw myself as ugly and I felt the need to draw attention to myself with provocative clothing, wear makeup, or have my hair nearly perfect to be pretty. I needed the praise of people around me to have any value in myself. But even this has been healed and transformed through the love of God. For He has given me the ability to see the work Hes done in creating me. I remember when this transition in my thinking began more than a year ago. It was a great moment when I realized I didnt need to adorn myself to be beautiful for God gave me my own natural unique beauty and value. Its now from God where I find my true identity, not from man. Papa God has continued to work on me ever since and now I can even see the beauty in the people around me. I marvel at the work of our Creator and how He has made all things beautiful and wonderful albeit some of this is hidden from the naked eye and has yet to be revealed. It truly is a gift to see the beauty in the world around you! I encourage you to ask God to let you see the world through His eyes. Ask Him to show you how beautiful and special you are. Ive heard it said best this way, you are Gods dream come true!
