"Whoa! Mrs. Williams, you dyed your hair!!"
"No, Suzy. I'm actually undying my hair."
"What do you like about it, Matti?"
"It's ombre!! I like how it changes colors."
It's days like this, i just have to smile.
Letting my natural hair color grow out is a daunting task. Most days when passing a mirror i shudder thinking, just what am i doing?? Then, there are the second hmmm-glances from others. But, there is another group... my cheerleaders. My heart races with laughter from the cute, unexpected remarks from students. Their observations coupled with taking the process day-by-day, makes the transformation doable... one strand at a time.
Old habits and ways of thinking are intertwined with our soul. And even when it's a change we want or need, it can still be difficult to accomplish. Sometimes a kind push of encouragement from another is needed for the ability and strength to continue.
Is there someone around you who needs a cheerleader? Someone dealing with a change in their life? Is there a person craving help to move in a different direction? You might be the cheerleader they need. SHOUT OUT a kind push of encouragement and watch them smile.
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
