I'm Ok, You're Ok

I'm going to tattle on myself a little today.  I hate my hair.  Always have.  It is baby fine, difficult to work with and rarely am I happy with the way it looks.  I don't consider myself a vain person.  I like to be comfortable and a little stylish at the same time, but I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it.  I believe clothing should make you happy without overthinking it.  But my hair is another story.  I've always envied those who have thick, shiny, easy to deal with, wash and go hair. 

So I had to laugh the other day, when after another frustrating session of  fiddling with my hair before work (did I mention I want wash and go hair....LOL), and complaining to God that He didn't give me good hair, blah blah blah.....I sat down to read one of my daily devotions.  And the title??? "Fearfully and Wonderfully Made."  Yup, that was God's answer to my hair dilemma.  The first two sentences?  "What if we viewed our bodies as God does?  Would we stop obsessing about our nose, wrinkles, weight, or hair?  I just about fell off the bed laughing.  Hmmmm, do you think God might be just a little tired of hearing about my hair unhappiness?  Do you think He may just want me focus to be elsewhere? 

I get it.  I really do.  And I know there are much bigger issues in the world and in the lives of all of us.  I still want better hair.  LOL  But I am going to work on not obsessing over the issue, and let God be God, even over my hair.  This was one of the most comical God visits I've ever had! 

Lord thank You.  Help us all to remember that we are perfectly made, just the way You wanted us.  And You don't make junk!  You like the way You made us.  Help us to be content as we are, grateful to be made in You image, even if we all look different.  Lord, let us like the way You made us too.  Forgive me pride, vanity and not trusting Your judgment. 

Psalm 139:14  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;  your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
