my new red (orange?) hair

I did something radical this week..... I have always been a dark blonde gal and have played with my hair color in slightly darker or lighter directions but I took a BIG plunge and went red. My husband was supportive in this endeaver , as it is something I have been talking about for awhile now. He even went and helped me pick out the color. He immediately pointed to the one he liked and encouraged me to go for it, so I did. I went in the next day by myself and spent three hours in 'the chair'. My beautician recommended i have my eyebrows done to match my hair. Sure, no problem. 10 minutes later my eyebrows looked like an orange crayon. No really, bright orange, as in a pumpkin orange. Now I was acutely aware that the little strips of hair on the front of my face had been dyed to match the load of hair on the top of my head. This is when the panic set in. I remained calm as Kim washed my hair, and as she paused in the middle of the wash to say "Um, you may not like this....

Sunday Afternoon Reflections

What a great morning! We just had an awesome church service. I am so pumped up I can't even take my normal Sunday afternoon nap. First we had a great time in Sunday school class. Church was awesome praise and worship followed by an awesome message followed by an awesome altar service. This is what church is all about! I love to see lives changed and homes restored. There is truly nothing I would rather do than be part of a real church filled with real people striving to serve a real God. I have been a part of the mundane before and I don't want it. I've been talking to some ladies who are really going through extended family issues. I guess there is something about the holidays that really brings things to the surface in families. Three different instances where people were told not to talk about religion when they got together for Thanksgiving. First of all, let me say that I do not think our relationship with Jesus Christ is religion. He is as vital to who I a...

Led by the Spirit?

My anointing is not based on my circumstances, nor does my joy depend on the situations in my life. God will take me to the place where I depend on Him alone for my joy and peace. Why look at my circumstances before I walk in the peace of God? God is bigger than my circumstances! How long has it been since I thirsted after the anointing of God? Hungered for it more than food? God is bigger than that thing I hold on to for my security. He is able to keep me, if I let go of all that I know as safe. That which I hold on to WILL fail me because it was not intended by Him to be my source. I need the peace of God that goes beyond circumstances to see through faith the promises of God. Give me a hunger for you, Oh God. Teach me to say yes to You in spite of all I see around me. Only you can set my feet to dancing in the midst of my circumstances. You can send people to speak truth to my life in the midst of deceit. You can cause the scales to be removed so that I see truth clearly. I hunger...
