My Hair

I know I should not complain about something as trivial as "hair" when there are so many other things going on in this world...but let me say this...my hair drives me crazy at times. The biggest problem I have is just not knowing how to fix it -- it never does the same each day. I am not one of these people who can fix her hair and it look the same way each morning no matter what. I never know what my hair is going to look like from one day to the next. This past week, I have gotten pretty brave with my hair. I have decided to just cut off the pieces that did not do what I wanted them to do. I did that after the day that I had to wear a bobby pin thing in the front because my bangs would not stay out of my eyes. I am way too old to be pinning my hair back with a clippy. So, my question is this? How do I know how to fix my hair? Should I just parade in to some expensive salon and say, "here I am....your worst nightmare!!" Or, does it matter?
I have decided while writing this....no big deal. Hair is hair (as long as it is clean!!) I get too bent out of shape about such trivial things -- like hair and end up spending quality time messing with my outside self instead of working on my inside self. There is so much more work to be done on my heart. As God is prompting me right now to quit worrying about my hair, He is gently reminding me that He made me -- hair and all -- and that he cares about me -- hair and all. For that, I am eternally grateful to Him. I am so thankful that God cares so much that He will gently remind me that He cares more about my heart. That is just how much He loves each one of us. And that is what is so precious a gift it is to be His child.
