Why I cut my hair.
So as you can see in this picture my lovely squad mate Shanan took, that I have cut my hair short! Fun fact: I’ve never had my hair this short, so this was a big change.
I decided to cut my hair because of multiple reasons, but I’m going to talk about the main reason I did. So here it goes.
Since literally I could remember, I’ve always had my hair long like forever. I was the girl with the super long straight blonde hair. I could recognize myself anywhere, and I could be picked out of a crowd because of it. I was constantly told “you’ve always had long hair.” Don’t get me wrong, its beautiful but this statement was starting to wear thin and I really wasn’t sure why.
As I have been walking into this new season with the Lord, I have felt Him remove my old identity revealing my true identity in Him. What I didn’t realize was that meant I was no longer attached to who I used to be, not what the old me used to say, or used to do. I am responsible for her actions but I no longer carry those burdens.
The day I decided I was going to cut my hair was not what I was expecting. I had been debating since I cut like 3 inches off a few weeks ago if I wanted to actually cut it short for real. This time was different, I didn’t feel like I had a reason to not cut my hair. The only thing holding me back was me, and all the expectations of myself that seemed to pile up with it. So I prayed, prayer works y’all, it’s necessary. I asked God to open my mind, to see what I was truly dealing with, because it wasn’t just about my hair anymore, it was about me. Was I willing to let go of this person I used to be?
I said yes to cutting my hair. No turning back now. I didn’t want to go back.
Here comes the God part.
As soon as my squad mate Shanan cut my hair I felt the weight fall, physically, mentally, and spiritually. God broke this chain I continued to have on me. I am who He says I am. I couldn’t stop smiling, I loved it, I chose to break free.
I was encouraged by some squad mates to share this story because it was more then just cutting my hair. God is renewing my mind daily so that I can pursue Him even more than ever, and bring others to His kingdom.
Always keep a smile:)
