I found some pictures which were taken 6 years ago and I
guess this will be a great opportunity for me to share my thoughts or my word for the day.
I wanted a perfect brown hair so I bought two packets of
bleaching product in Divisoria to start with. Knowing that the process will be
the same with other coloring products, I did it myself.
Few minutes later, I noticed a burning sensation in my head.
I rushed to the bathroom and rinsed my hair with cold water. As I comb with my
fingers, strands of hair start to fall down. I combed again with a proper comb
and my hair stretched like a rubber until it broke. My hair is damaged, I want
to scream and pull out my hair but no. It’s a total mess.

I was not able to sleep that night. The very next day, I
went to a salon to get my hair fixed. Chop chop! They cut everything that were
damaged. I can’t have another dye so I have to stick with the golden hair. I am
not a fan of short hair but I am still very lucky otherwise I’ll be walking
bald for a couple of months. LOL
We were living in the province and whenever I go out, people
would stare at me, okay, my golden, sun-kissed hair. I was so embarrassed with
my hair that I bought clips and put on blue contact lenses so I would look more
Tisay. I had to wait for a month before coloring it to a darker one so I told
myself, I am going to enjoy it while it lasts.
In life, we make choices without thinking twice. We live a
life for our own desire, for our own happiness, for own satisfaction or what we
think is important to us. We make decisions in life with no reference point to
God. In the end, we would realize that we have done wrong. We would even come
to the point that we question ourselves what we have done wrong, what we should
have done in the first place, and what am I going to do now when the damage has
been done.
I was in that situation thinking that I should have
researched first about bleaching your hair on your own. If I did, I wouldn’t be
in that messy situation. But life seems to be like that. We just hit the start
button right away without looking first at the manuals. We are so confident
that we know it all. Anyway, it says start.
I believe that God created us but I can’t say if He created
us with manuals. He is God and He doesn’t need manuals. Yes, God created us but
He didn’t create us to become His slaves. He wants us to have a relationship
with Him. That’s why we call Him, our Father. He loves us so much that He has
given us free will - the freedom to choose and to live our lives. It is up to us
if we will conform to the patterns of this world or live a life with meaning. (Romans 12:2 NIV).
I believe that whatever we do, may it be a bad or a good
decision, whether we stick to the manuals or not, or whatever mess we are in
right now, there’s always better days ahead. Better days might not be here on
this earth, but I know there are better days of life after earth. We can always try to fix our lives on our own but that would only be temporary.
I would sometimes look back on my past, my life before
Christ. I know how messy my life was before and at some point I would recall parts
of my life or decisions I am not proud of. I can’t tell everything in detail, but I can
assure you that no matter how messy our life is, no matter how damaged and
broken we are, God wants us and loves us no human being can ever compare and measure.
Our
life could be a mess but we are beautiful in His eyes.
