"Well I've never been a fashion queen / I wear dresses, I wear jeans / I’ve even been known to wear my heart on my sleeve / I’m just your average kid next door / A plain, simple mystery / I’m a self-proclaimed Daddy’s girl / With my share of idiosyncrasies / But You love me for me / And I’m just fine / I see a smile from Heaven / My Father is proud / I know that I am simply, fearfully and wonderfully made in You / You make it beautiful somehow" ~lyrics by Joy Williams

For the faith of my hairdresser...
Last fall I discovered that my hairdresser was a Christian. I was just there for a simple hair cut that day so I only spent an hour with her then. Even then in that hour she blew me away with her love for God and desire to learn more. She shared with me that she was asked to write a book on Revelations, which by no means is an easy task. So that day we talked about some of the things she had learned through her research. I left the hairdressers' that day, just amazed at this lady and her life. Yesterday I had the pleasure of hanging out with her again. This time it was for a good 3 1/2 hours. It took that long because she got my hair back to a blonde colour (it's been red for the past 3 months) and chopped quite a bit off. I loved those 3 hours yesterday. Just hanging out and chatting with her. I left feeling renewed and more in love with God then when I had walked in. I love when people can help you in that way, simply by being themselves. This woman has such an admirable faith and way at looking at the world through everything she stays so faithful and encouraging. I only hope that as I get older, I can learn to have the faith of my hairdresser.

Do you have to book appointments with your hairdresser well in advance or can you walk in and wait for an opening? Maybe she or he husband will be able to fix my dead ends.
