sooo, recently i decided that it was time to get out the clippers…i’ve been thinking about it and thinking about it…but i waited until after all the Christmas pics were taken, just in case my wife was not wild about the new look…plus there would be enough time to grow it back before our son is born in april…it was all well thought out…and i did it a little over a month ago…
i got rid of it!!!
at first it took a little getting used to…even for me…especially when i would walk by a mirror…i would find myself standing there staring…and laughing…it felt really funny at first too!!!
i have enjoyed seeing the reactions when people see me for the first time…some have laughed or made witty comments…some have just stared and shook their heads…others have just wanted to rub my head…and some actually like it…but regardless of the category, everyone had to do a double take…no one recognized me…but little miss molly had the best reaction…”crazy hair daddy”…and she would try to fix it for me…
there was some initial shock…but it was worth it!!!
sooo, i’m sitting at st. arbucks this morning…minding my own business…writing in my prayer journal and listening to the people who are coming and going…and it hit me…SMACK in the shaved head…there was a time when i was in over my head with sin…i had only one place to turn and that was to God…and i had to get rid of some things in my life…i had to get rid of the sin…
there was an initial shock…to me and to those around me…some where doing double takes as they found out what my life was really like…some were shaking their heads…some were laughing and making witty comments…
but if i wanted to be right with God and those around me…if i wanted to be the man that God wanted me to be…i had to deal with the sin in my life…i had to get rid of it…and so i did just that…
i got rid of it!!!
to this day i still have things that i get rid of…i ask God every day to show me what there is in my life that i need to confess and get rid off…what about you…is there something that God is telling you to get rid of??? is there something that is holding you back from being who God has for you to be???
oh there may be some initial shock…but it’s worth it!!!
so get rid of it!!!
lessons learned from a shaved head…part one…
