When I say a big debate.....it consisted of me convincing myself that it will look OK short....but then to counteract that by saying, "but you've spent so much time growing it.....keep going...lets see how long it can grow!!"
Paul isn't really into this discussion at all....in fact I will be surprised if he even notices...I'm sure he will.....eventually!
Well in the end....my girlfriend booked me into her hair salon....and the deed was done!!!
I now have short hair.......Yikes!!
Now.....I do like it and I think it suits me.....but overall it really hasn't changed me as a person...I'm still "me"....just with short hair.
So why did I stress and struggle over this decision?
Maybe its just that I don't like change?
Now that is really funny coming from me this year......never had I lived through a year with so much change!
Just to summerise change this year.....both Paul and I changed jobs....we changed our car.....we lost our very very faithful dog of 16 years Muffy....this changed our lives considerably.....friends of our left our church to go to one just down the road.....I will have to write another blog to explain that change in my life......our best friends became parents for the first time.....that changed our social life (and we became god parents to precious little Chelsea).....and of course the big one.....we decided to go to College.....well thats just one huge change......so maybe you can understand why I'm a little put out about change.....I just want things to stay the way they are......
But I know this can't happen.....life moves on......and with every change comes a challenge and some are good and some are not so good.....but isn't this how we grow as people.....as Christians.
It certainly makes me more reliant on God......at least he doesn't change. He is the same today, as yesterday....(sounds like a good old Army chorus)...but he doesn't change....he loves me no matter what....he loves me with long or short hair!!!
One change that I am loving at the moment.....is the change in our young folk at Waverley....they are really "on fire" and ready to go out and spread the gospel of Jesus to everyone.
They have challenged me so much of late, just in their committment to the community work around Waverley and they have such an openess about their love for God...its so refreshing to see......they are our future Army.....I just want to see "big" things in their lives as they follow the path that God has planned for them.....Praise God for our young people and youth of our Corps....they inspire me constantly.
Sooooo God is Good....he is blessing me in all of this change.....he knows me better than I know myself.....I trust Him....I love Him.....
Well...they do say change is as good as a holiday......well Hawaii is looking nice.....but maybe later....we have other plans.......
Take care....

I love your short hair, and we ride all the changes with you both. Most change is exciting and I know that God has everything taken care of for you both. You and Paul did a great job last night!
