"Our only security is our ability to change." (After)

I did it!!! I finally did it! And, personally, I think it was a rousing success! I love my new color and I can already see how this could get addicting. I'm going to try to not go all crazy with it, but I can definitely see myself coloring my hair again in the future. Anyway, I don't have much time right now, but here it is...

"Our only security is our ability to change." (Before)

Alright... I've decided to do it! I'm FINALLY going to give into my curiosity and color my hair! EEK! I'm nervous, but excited! I've never done anything chemically to my hair so I guess we'll see what happens. I'm writing this post to give myself a good "before and after" comparison. I have a friend that's going to help me with it, so if she's free, I think tomorrow will be the day. (I need to go for it before I chicken out.) Anyway, here are my required "before" pictures.

My friend, Emma, on the right is the one who I am enlisting to help me in this endeavor. (If it's terrible, blame her.) (; Only kidding... Maybe.



Okay... This picture is actually a better picture of my natural hair color. The one before makes my hair look much darker than it really is... (By the way, that's my little broski on the right.)

"We know what we are but know not what we may be..."


Today, I was turned down for a job... And it just may be the best thing that's ever happened to me. Somehow, it's given me a renewed strength and motivation to get my life "back on track" so-to-speak. Not that I had been walking towards the deep end or anything, but I've just been static. I haven't been going anywhere.

Quite honestly, I've been at peace about the whole job thing from the start (I have to admit, I'm proud of my own maturity throughout the process.). I finally realized the concept of letting God have control, which , quite honestly, has never been something I've been very good at. I'm not perfect at it, by any means, but this was the first time I feel like I truly left it to God. I had no worry, no stress, no concern about the decision... And I feel growth in that.

Sure there was a small twinge of disappointment (only natural, right?), but overall, I was quite fine with the decision. (I think those around me were more upset than I was!!) I trusted completely that the right decision would be made and, if that decision didn't involve me getting the job, then that just meant there was something else for me out there. (: I like the idea of possibilities. I like having options and opportunity, so all-in-all, it's probably best for me. I have no idea what God has planned for me but I am so incredibly excited to find out!
