A Really BAD Haircut

 "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering."

1 Corinthians 11:15

I think all women love to go and get their hair done, whether it's a new cut, the same cut, added color or curl.  Appointments are generally made for the next time even before leaving the salon; it gives us something to look forward to.

And excited I was! I was counting the days this past week, and at the same time telling myself, 'Don't cut your bangs yourself! It's almost time for your appointment!" (Confession, sometimes I get impatient and take the scissors to my own hair; it's never a good look!)

Knowing that I will be going on vacation in a few short days to see family I have not seen in a very long time, I was really excited for my hair appointment.

I walked out of the Salon mortified!  What happened? I tried to keep my tears at bay while telling myself, "Just go home, take a shower, style your hair just like you always do, it will be ok."

It's not ok. The tears fell.

As I held the mirror up to look at the reflection of the back of my head, Solomon's words entered my thoughts:

"Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity." Ecclesiastes 1:2

I whispered, "I know Lord, it's just hair, it will grow."

Did my whispered prayer remove my mortification? No, but at the same time I know that it will only last for about 6 weeks and it really will be ok.

The mistake is in the back of my head...

    I don't have to look at it...

        I just feel sorry for the person sitting behind me in church...

            But that's just me!
