I had my hair highlighted Teal (yes, thats right...TEAL)
and I cut almost all my hair off :) it's now a little above my shoulders...
I think I look awesome!
anyway I have had some people that don't like it, I don't know they think it's too much or something like that, they cant get past the wild color or something...but anyway I have been thinking about this and my opinion for those who dont like it is, I am not here to please everyone, my main focus is to please God and He loves it when I show my creative side like this. so this might not be something that everyone likes but God likes it because it is creative, colorful and it shows a true part of me that He created...I'm not always the shy little church mouse most people see me as...lately God has been bringing out my more flamboiyant side, I have been more bouncy, talkative, and outgoing...more so then I've ever really been....I have been looking up more rather then looking down.
I think a part of my shyness was just a lie of the enemy, and I've been praying about it more and more lately, and the lie that I've been told is "your not good enough, if you speak everyone will think your stupid, so you should just stay quiet" something to that effect, but I discovered that hey that's not really me, I mean God gave me a way with words and I am great at writing on paper but when it came to speaking I never did, because I was always afraid of saying the wrong thing then looking like an idiot...now I see that that was just a lie from the enemy to get me to not speak whatever God has me speak....
But lately now that I know the enemy's lie, I have been speaking against that...because I have really been feeling like I have a gift for speaking wisdom and truth to people...that is completely God given...I mean even right now I am not even looking at what I'm writing I'm just saying whats coming to me through God, God has given me a way with words in order to speak life into others and wisdom and truth. the enemy knows this and he doesnt want me to realize that so he spoke lies to me saying that I will look like a fool if I speak, or no one will listen...but I am speaking against that and I am breaking that lie RIGHT NOW....I WILL speak whatever God wants me to, no matter what it is...God wants others to be blessed and He wants to do some of that through me, and I am ready and willing :)
anyway so I really feel that God allowed me to do my hair like this....because it wasnt something the world considers "normal" and He is ministring to me telling me that I am not "normal" and that's okay, He made me just the way I am and I cannot believe the lies of the enemy anymore, I need to DARE to be Different, break the mold, and not allow "normal" to get in way of God's calling on my life, because God has something much more bigger and different then "normal".
I am slowly realizing my potential in God, and I WILL NOT allow the enemy to hinder that ANYMORE.
now my question for you: do you know your potential? what does God have for you?
God has something for each of us to do, He has a gift for each of us, the question is are you going to accept it?
the enemy doesnt want you to realize your God-given potential, so he is going to attack that area constantly...what you need to do it look at God's Word, find out what lie[s] the enemy is telling you and use God's Word (The Bible) and counteract that lie with the TRUTH.
Give thanks and praise to God everyday because the enemy HATES it...
worship God everyday.
if God wants you to be different, then be different...dont be afraid because God it with you no matter what.
God Bless
