Today I took my 3 and a half year old to get her very first hair cut. I finally felt like her hair had grown long enough to where I could get her hair cut and not have to do a style that might make her look like a boy. She did great!!! She sat still just like I asked her to, and listened very well to the directions of the lady cutting her hair. I'm one very proud and excited momma right now.
A hair cut to most is just another hair cut, and doesn't mean much to them. I spent about 6 years in a church where women weren't supposed to cut their hair, wear pants, shorts, earrings, necklaces, or makeup among other things. While I learned some great things while attending this church organization not everything was good. I cried when I realized I could cut my hair and not go to hell. So, when I look back at what we've come out of this is an experience she might never have had, had we stayed with that organization. Today, I enjoyed greatly the FREEDOM of watching her get her hair cut because to me it is a freedom that myself and my children now enjoy, and I thank God for it.
I'm not a perfect Christian, but by the grace and mercy of God I'm going to heal from my Childhood Sexual Abuse. It's by the grace of God I've made it this far, and it will be by His grace that I'll find the healing that I'm looking for. My relationship with God is what brings me through it all. He truly is an awsome God! And if what I write applies to no one eles in this world it applies to me. This blog is about my healing journey and about what I'm learning along the way.
