Big Changes for a Good Cause

Recently I decided to make a big change for myself, one I wasn’t sure if I would like but I new that it wouldn’t really matter because it was for such a good cause. I have always worn my hair very long and from time to time when I would go get my hair trimmed I would really step out on a limb and get three to four inches off instead of one or two (woohoo), and honestly the last time I had my hair cut was maybe, March, so long ago I can’t really remember. But, I had decided sometime after my last trim, that I wanted to let it grow, to just see how long I would be able to stand it. My hair grows rather quickly and it was starting to get pretty long and I contemplated having it cut to have it donated (just a thought). But my selfish pride took over and I began to war with myself over the matter, I could never get my hair cut short, so I will just continue to let it grow until next year and cut it before summer, by then I’m sure it will be long enough that the cut won’t be so drastic.

Well something in life always comes along maybe not to make us feel bad but to show us that there is more to life than long hair, or other simple things that we find ourselves so complacent in. I was introduced recently to a Mothers journal of her little girl and her struggle with cancer. Children have the most humble spirit and I began to question and wonder, Why? Why children, they are so innocent and they deserve so much more. That little girl did go to be with the Lord a few weeks ago, but not before changing so many lives here on earth including mine. I think that God has showed me that the humbleness that a child reflects is what we should all desire to have. I started thinking about the things that are so minuet compared to situations like the one mentioned above and realized that if something as simple as cutting my hair could help a child somewhere dealing with what I could never imagine going through myself, then I should Gladly cut my hair even if it means I may not like it, the truth is that it is hair, and it will grow back. Some little girl or boy somewhere may not get the chance for theirs to grow back and if I can make a difference for them in the mean time, I would love to. So I did! I am glad that I didn’t let my selfishness stand in my way. In fact it came out better than I thought. See for yourself, before and after pictures below.
