💇🏻‍♀️When you go in for a 1 inch trim & they cut off 6, & don’t really do what you ask for at all...😅

😭 Not gonna lie, I ugly cried once I left the place & realized how short my hair was, & how little hair there was when I tried to tie it up. It might look still kind of long, but I actually lost a lot of length & it's so thin now compared to when I walked in... 😬

In the grand scheme of things, I know it’s not THAT big of a deal, it’ll grow back. My hair doesn’t define who I am.. But it was definitely a shock I wasn’t prepared or ready for and in the moment I was really sad & I felt pretty ugly. I didn’t wanna see anyone. Straight out of the hair place, my hair was straight & frizzy & it reminded me of when I was in college & trying to grow it out... Haha 😬 I felt traumatized because I didn't feel heard by the stylist who kept saying he knew better... he had the best intentions but.... 😔 I ugly cried for maybe an hour—probably longer than it should’ve been since I’m an adult.. 😅

A couple days later and a friend shared, it's "growing" on me. 😂 Haha!

But I wanted to share this because I know I’m not the only one who’s gotten a bad haircut or feels not so pretty sometimes, & I wanted to encourage you with what John reminded me during my ugly cry over my silly hair.

Your identity is not placed in how you look.
Your worth is not placed in how you look.
Your confidence should not rest solely in your appearance.
May your identity, confidence, & worth be found in Christ, alone.

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30

Leaving this here so I remember this, too. 😬
