I'm not the one confused (I'm sure someone who is not nice would beg to differ :-P) Whats confused is the weather. It smells like Spring, it even kind of feels like Spring and its sunny like it should be Spring...could it be that Spring is actually here- Oh I hope so. Tomorrow we'll have been here 6 months and we've had snow sense before Halloween. I don't want snow anymore :-(
Its been a good week- some days had more blessings in it then others but its been a blessed week thats for sure.
Yesterday I got my hair cut- I got my layers cut back in and the shortest part got about 3" cut. The lady was ever so nice to point out my streak of grey hair. Yeah in like 3 days I'll be 21 and I've got grey hair- there is so much wrong with that. It blends in with my blond hair so it doesnt bother me to much. The lady and Jessa both think I'm nuts but to me my hair actually looks longer. *shrugs* I would show ya'll but you'd look at the picture and say whats different haha
Then Jessa and I did some shopping- I got a new shirt for my interview along with a pair of tan suit pants. I thought about buying the matching jacket but it felt stuffy to me. Then I got a black skirt. Total savings- brace yourself- $130- It was a good day :D
Then this morning- well it was morning for me because I didn't get out of bed till 11am I got to talk to Gracie. Which was wonderful- Gracie Girl I really enjoyed our conversation.
I've got a lot on my mind and heart right now and I desire your prayers. There's some decisions I've got to make in the next couple days- some are based on Monday's interview but mostly I just need to find what the Lord would have me to do.
It's taken me some time but I'm learning to pray and relay on God without worrying and stressing it all to pieces.
I hope this week has been a good one fore everyone. I know some have as I've read blogs.
Love Ya'll

Confused

Hey, girl. I found my first gray hair on my 20th birthday. No lie! ON my birthday! When I looked in the mirror that morning there it was standing up proudly and waving at me! I was SOOOO depressed! That's been 31 years ago and since then, as you may have noticed, that lone gray hair has invited many relatives to come live on my head. Did I ever consider dying it? Yep. But never seriously. First of all, if I don't believe in painting my face, why should I paint my hair? Secondly, I just did NOT want to get into that rut/habit. Even though my hair color has caused me to get my first senior discount at a restaurant when I was 35 years old, I'm so glad now that I never dyed it the first time. I have no regrets. I'm not struggling with embarassment not by possibly having to admit that I was vain enough to basically tell God He didn't know what He was doing when He put that gray hair there, therefore I would just have to fix what He messed up! I WILL admit I was tempted when I was in my 20's and 30's but I outgrew it and now I'm SO GLAD I didn't cave in. I know many women who succombed to the temptation, some due to their husband's urging and others due to plain old vanity, but I think they all regret ever having got sucked into it in the first place. Okay, well that's my little tidbit of "motherly" counsel (which was unasked for--SORRY!).
When I was younger i had white blond hair but there was a strip of underneath hair that was black. As my hair has gotten darker this strip has gotten lighter and now its grey.
I do have some grey in my bangs that annoys me but I would never dye my hair. The thought has crossed my mind but I don't really find it tempting.
I love your hair!!!!!! If I could chose I would I would want white hair like yours vs. grey hair. Its soo pretty!!!
HA! Everybody else calls my hair gray, but I prefer to call it white. *tee hee* I was NOT happy with it when it started really turning and thought it would have been so much better looking if my natural color was darker so there would be the salt and pepper effect. But instead I felt my hair just looked "mousy" (whatever THAT is, but it's the term I always used). The point is, the devil would make each one of us unhappy with something or everything about our appearance, but do spend our time/affections on a preoccupation with our physical appearance is tantamount to becoming our own idol. We're SO MUCH HAPPIER and CONTENT when we focus on God and are content with how He made us. We should turn our unhappiness and discontent into gratefulness to the Lord for His wisdom, His grace and His foreknowledge. He NEVER makes a mistake and if I have perceived "mistakes" in my body or my "situations" I should thank God for whatever His purpose is in placing them there and ask Him to use these things to build godly character in me. (There's ANOTHER sermon!)
I'm starting to turn gray thanks to the past 7 months...but I have so much blonde in my hair that most people never notice. Matter of fact, the last Assembly, I literally had someone going through my hair IN SEARCH of gray hairs and they were absolutely certain that I was dying my hair because they couldn't find any. Tammy Kaufman is always accusing me of highlighting my hair, but I have NEVER colored my hair. I saw what it did to my grandmother's, mother's, sister's and sister-in-law's hair...no thank you. I figured that any gray hairs that I have, I have EARNED and as long as they do what they are supposed to do they can stay, but if they start pinging out all over the place, I'm pulling them babies. ~hee hee~ One day, I may look like my husband...BALD! ~giggle~
I had a GREAT time talking to you Jenna! I really enjoyed just talking with you and laughing at silly things. Let's keep it up shall we? :-)
I don't have grey hair yet...but I watch for it! Mom was about 16 when she started greying...
Your Blog looks GREAT!!!
Sister Tammi, Gray hairs do what they're supposed to do??? HA!!! I LAUGH AT YOU!!! They're wiry, wild and absolutely have a mind of their own. They are not nice creatures. But if I plucked every one of those little critters I WOULD look like your husband and mine! I've just learned to live with them.
