QUICK Testimony about my Hair Journey

I'm very passionate about a lot of things and this is one of them. My natural journey is a highly spiritual one. A journey where I am desperately trying to get back and REMAIN in what God originally made me to be. I was living a LYE... AND a lie... very afraid of my natural beauty. Trying to cover myself up roots and all. Trying to just "blend in" because I felt that if anyone got too close to me and saw my imperfections... then they'd leave me... instantly. One of those imperfections in my mind was my hair. While it was only the outer shell... it was so status quo that nobody could see anything other than shiny straight hair- every hair was in place and FLAT!--just like everybody else--- "If you can't beat em, join em"- was my motto. I was putting perm in my hair every TWO weeks because my hair was sooo thick and wavy... at the slightEST kink or wave- off to the store to get my African Pride perm, which to me, the name alone is the ultimate slap in the face! The perms damaged my scalp so bad that i'm not sure i'll ever come back from it! One day, after being in intense prayer asking God to restore me to what He originally made me to be... He took me over to the mirror. He said to my spirit, "You deny me in your body, you want to be what I originally made- start from the head down to your toes"... I looked in the mirror hard like, "what?" When my eyes reach the top of my head I realized what God was saying... I denied what He originally made my hair to look like! (among other things) Did i think God made a mistake with my hair??? I DID call hair "good or bad hair" ... and i truly believed that this was a true statement. How wrong I was!! If God made it, it is perfect and good. WE can choose to make it bad or evil... but God CAN'T make a mistake... soooo... i was wrong. That day I took scissors to my head and cut off ALL my perm... and rocked it hard. I was soooo happy that I had done it. I realized that my Dad in Heaven could never make a mistake and that my original "Blue Print" had to be much better than what I TRIED to make it. So I surrendored and let God take the wheel. What's funny is now, the more messy, kinky and wild my hair looks, the more i love it. I'm a perfect imperfection and i love me...While not everybody's experience will be like mine... i'm glad this is how i came to be a Happy Nappy... I hope it inspires someone else to question their motives for perming their hair and to come to the ulitimate conclusion that... GOD CAN'T MAKE MISTAKES... and HE didn't make one on you either... Be Blessed and learn to have PURPOSE in all you do...
