Take a Load Off...

I got my hair cut this weekend. Here's what happened. I sit down in the chair and the girl, with a thick Russian accent says, Dahling, you must grow your hair out longer. I respond with a, well you see, I'm a small girl and I just don't need a huge mane of hair. She disagreed and said I should keep growing it longer because of the curls. She then said, I'm going to cut it on the inside so it will take the weight off and keep the length. Hmm. Ok. Totally not trusting this woman to really come through.

Last night I washed it in the shower. Holy Moly! She totally chopped it off! I can feel the difference in it. Its like night and day. The length is still there, but it doesn't give me a headache to pull it back into a ponytail anymore. Yay! I couldn't tell the difference until I washed what she'd done out of it.

I think life is sometimes like that. God uses events and whatnot to take the weight out of my life. He's busy cutting away the weight while I'm sitting there in the chair totally not trusting Him to really follow through. When I take a moment to stop and see what He's done, I'm amazed at the job He's doing.

So true, we don't realize what God has done for us until we stop and look around in our own lives a bit. ec
