What Faith Can Do....

I always write about hair and compare our walk with God with it, because for me it seems the easiest to compare it to. So today I'm going to talk about the faith we have in God and in our hairdressers. It seems so funny to me how people can say to a hairdresser " Just do what you think I trust you" but yet you can't utter those words to the most important person in this universe our Lord and Savior. I'm the first to admit I probably don't have as much Faith in the Lord as much as I should. However, it's what you do to try and improve it that makes you a better person. I have so many people come into my salon every day that have so much faith in my abilities to make them look better it sometimes scares me. I mean how much pressure is that?? I love trying to make someones hair look better than when they came in but you know sometimes it just can't be done. With all the chemicals people do to their hair these days its hard sometimes to make them look better when the hair should just be cut shorter. It boggles my mind though how some people can have so much Faith in a hairdresser of all things and not have any in our God that if we didn't have his hand in things we wouldn't be here at all to begin with. I know its hard to have Faith sometimes with all the negativity we have in this world I know that for sure, but I do know if you pray and put God as number one your Faith will only grow and make you a better person and Christian for the world to see. Just like a verse from the newsboys song called "Shine"  it states " Shine they'll wonder what you got and wish that they had that on the outside looking toward". People that aren't Christians and even some that are will notice there is something different about you and they will appreciate that. So try and grow your Faith in God it will help I keeping trying to grow my Faith and I hope my light shines through to everyone around me. 


" Because you have so little Faith. I tell you the truth, if you have Faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ' move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you".  Matthew 17:20 NIV

Fixing Hair and Life....

It seriously amazes me after five years how much you can still learn in my profession. You learn everyday how to speak and treat people so they want to come back to you. You learn that there is no short cuts in doing hair color you take the long way or you end up taking an even longer way fixing it. Fixing hair is a lot like life in many ways. For one if you make a mistake and you just keep putting color over color to try and hind the problem you created, or even blow dry or style the hair a certain way so you can't notice you messed it up. Well in a lot of ways those are examples that follow along with life as well. You color to hide something, well in life you make excuses or go to church to hide that your really not living the way you should live. You see sin is in a lot of ways like hair color. The more you sin the more your covering it up your constantly hiding what you did with this color. There are only so many layers you can put on before it become noticeable. After so m,any layers you end up getting a band of a dark color normally in the middle of your head that becomes very noticeable after so many covers. This is like sin you can only cover up those sins so long before everyone starts to notice them and then you become more and more self conscious about them knowing people can see them. But just like sin, hair color can be fixed too. With hair color its that amazing thing called bleach it erases anything that was in there wrong and is causing hindrance with the hair and it removes it. With sin we have the Lord Jesus Christ for that. He has his own bleach and he removes any build up in your life that may have a band against you to see clearly as to what and how you should be living. Just like hair its so easy to fix that! Say this prayer and it will all be fixed so clearly "Lord forgive me for I have sinned". Most important prayer in your life you'll ever make. Don't let the build up you have in life continue, don't keep covering it up with material things to justify what your doing. Ask the Lord for forgiveness because non like color this prayer will only take a few seconds.

Hair and Life Tell A Story...

As everyone knows spring is just around the corner and you know what that means?.... your right hair color changing time. Its so funny how people change their hair color like they change their outfits, they change it for the season. So for fall and winter everyone will come and get darker hair to go with the season. As for spring and summer everyone starts to feel a little bit brighter knowing we will start to feel more warm weather and more sunny days. So during spring and summer more people will color their hair a lighter color to go with their moods. Its a funny thing how a change in hair color almost 90% of the time shows the persons mood and how they feel. Did you ever notice when a person looses a loved one they almost always color their hair either very dark to show they're depressed or either very light to show they are going to try to be happy even though inside their breaking. Its so funny how a change in hair is a change in mood and you can almost read how someone is feeling with even the slightest bit of change in color. Its just like us in our everyday life you try to cover up what your feeling with a new haircut a new hair color, loss in weight or even a new wardrobe. But in all reality your still hurting. However, you don't have to hurt or cover yourself up with all these worldly things. God can fix how you feel with just one question to him. "Lord please forgive me I know that I've sinned". That is going to be the most important question a person can ever ask. The Lord helps you in more ways than ever he has with me.
