I think I have a problem. It all started last fall when I decided to forgo my very pricey yet very talented hair stylist to pay for a very pricey yet very talented housekeeper. Really, you might think this was an easy decision, but oh my friend it was not. My heart was broken right along with the ends of my hair. What was I to do without my hair stylist? I called my mom in a panic, like all stressed out little girls do, because my roots were beginning to show. That was when she referred me to "the bottle". More specifically, to Champagne Blonde 8 1/2...for cool tones. I know that to you this might sound a little crazy, maybe even a little bit off, but I am addicted. I sit before you, typing this out, proudly saying that I am here to face my addiction and get to the bottom of this bottle issue that I so lovingly have. Over the past few months, not only have I tried Ash Blonde, Champagne Blonde and Dirty Blonde, but I even went red, much to my husband's dismay. Today, as I was sitting on the side of the tub waiting 25 minutes for my new Champagne Blonde to cover those nasty roots and the rest of the red, I began to wonder why I feel the need to change my look so often. What is it that causes that stir in me every six to eight weeks to change my appearance. It seems that women, myself included, are always looking for the next big thing. This shirt will make my boobs look perky, these jeans will make my butt look just a little more roundish, Champagne Blonde 8 1/2 will make me look like I did back when I really did have blonde hair. I decided that the only way to kick this nasty addiction was to go to my trusted source, the one who loves me no matter what my hair looks like, and see what He has to say. The Bible tells us that we should take a different approach to our appearance. I Samuel 16:7 tells us that, "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
Father, please help me not stress so much about what is on the outside, but to put my focus on making the inside pleasing to you. Amen

So excited to read your blog! I'll be keeping up, girlfriend!
You continue to amaze me - I love it! And, I love you!
You are the most inspirational and uplifting person that I know. I love you no matter what. No matter if you had ugly roots with two different odd colors in your hair, the person that I have come to know is far greater than any look could express. I am so blessed that God brought you into my life. You may not see that God is using you, but believe that he is. How amazing that through your storms, how strong your faith really is. God has a way of putting everything in perspective. You are on the right track and truly a gift to anyone who comes in contact with you!

Welcome to blogging. I enjoyed your first two posts. I am also so glad you found my blog so I could find yours. Yes indeed, God looks at the heart. It is ok for us to care about our appearances and take care of our bodies, of course...but it is not good for us to put our worth of self into our appearance or anything other than Christ for that matter.
Blessings, Angela
