My Hair...

Ok, so I LOVE my hair...I have wanted to do something fun and spontaneous and just kind of out there; which is weird cuz it is not typically something i do...(i am finding i am wanting to be more spontaneous/do random things)...but, i originally wanted purple; i thought that would be awesome, be subtle but really fun and totally something people wouldn't expect from me. i have wanted this for some time, but a time i can pinpoint for sure is the first few days of January this year in stl.

i wanted it for me....BUT, since i have got my hair done, this past Saturday, i have noticed guys noticing me...i am a girl, and a very observant, i-notice-everything-sorta person so i know it is different then before; I DON'T LIKE IT! i mean, it IS flattering, but at the same time, very shallow and not something i want.

i started to think, and wonder....can my hair, even though my intention was/is pure, and FOR MYSELF possibly causing my brothers to stumble? guys from the rock have said it looks really cool, or they really like it, and i feel like it isn't appearing to be a huge stumbling block for men who love Jesus...but, is it 'ok' to keep allowing guys to say or do the things they do...in response to my hair? 1 Peter 3:3-4 came to mind...is that like 'braided hair' or is it different? i DON'T want my beauty to come from outward adornment...blah!

THEN, i got to thinking....is it just my hair? have i changed? am i still wanting to be pure? am i still guarding my heart?

REALITY CHECK. i have changed.

so, i need to go back to the "roots" of what i know of what i believe...of my convictions...i need to know why i stand where i stand on every single issue.


i need to spend some hard core time with Jesus.
