Hair...The Good...The Bad...The Ugly

Not an easy topic for me. I have struggled with my hair for the majority of my life!

When I was younger (JR High School) I had that awful perm everyone was getting. What a mistake that was! Then junior year I saw a girl with this great short hair cut. I asked her who cut her hair and she gave me her stylists number. When I went to get it cut I thought he was a genius. I looked awesome! It was the right cut for the shape of my face...so he said. So I have had short hair for 20 some odd years now.

Through my Journey Through the Bible I came across a verse that really hit me. It is 1 Corinthians 11:15. Basically it says long hair was given as a covering for woman. What a shock! You see, I have that really thin hair that does nothing when it is long. No curling iron or gel can get it to do anything. But I am doing it anyway! I am growing my hair out and might just have to buy some sun hats to cover my long stringy locks. Whew...I am so glad I got that out! God Bless

Pants vs Skirts

So, I have read a lot of blogs and web sites talking about this issue. I had to find out for myself what the Bible said.

To my surprise it says in Deuteronomy 22:5 that a woman must not wear men's clothing and a man not wear women's clothing. HUH!!! Don't believe me....check it out for yourself!

I am now wearing skirts and dresses! I only had 2 dresses in my closet so I kind of panicked. You see, I'm a jeans girl. I like my jeans, and it is hard to give them up. But I am going to because it is what GOD wants! I went around town last week and actually found 4 skirts for a total of $20.03!!! Being a single income family means money is on a tight budget. I only had a certain amount I could spend on clothing. But what a deal! Four skirts for less than the price of one! One is from JCPenny, and one from Old Navy. The other two (jean skirts!!!) are from consignment shops.

You never know what you will find when you do a little looking. That goes for the Bible and shopping! God Bless!
