Trust the process

 

I went to the beauty salon, hairdresser, whatever you all call it and got my hair cut. It's been a while since I have always had my hubs cut my hair. Yes you heard me! But I am needing some professional work since I am trying to grow it out. And anyways, my  hubs is telling me he is retiring from his cutting hair gig! So I guess you can say I was forced to find a new hairdresser. 

I was really nervous because I think I got a girl that is new at this. She was very shy, didn't say much and seemed to be working on her confidence level. Which made me more nervous. But I kept telling myself to TRUST THE PROCESS. 

As she was cutting my hair, I was certain she really was struggling with what I asked. I only asked her to even it out, trim the ends. I showed her a before picture of where my hair was at and then a picture of what I was working toward. Again, I was telling myself, TRUST THE PROCESS!

It only took her 15 minutes and I swear it felt like she didn't cut much of anything.  I'm not judging, but I was just a little uneasy since I did pay $60 for this hair trim. 

But today....I feel like my hair responded pretty good! It is still in that "in the middle" phase and will probably be there for a while, but she did a pretty good job. I have no complaints. I guess she DID know what she was doing! haha

Sometimes, do you ever feel like you are in those situations. Times when you are unsure and you keep hearing that little voice say "trust the process".  It is hard to trust something that you do not have full confidence in or something you cannot see. We all want to have those assurances that whatever it is, it will turn out the way we want. BUT, as you know, it doesn't always work that way. Sometimes you have to face disappointment. Sometimes you have to wait until what you are wanting happens at that right time. Like that job promotion, or getting a raise or starting a family, getting married and the list can go on. Everyone has those moments in time. 

Whatever you are working towards, stay strong and courageous. God is with you through all the ups and downs in life. He will walk with you, carry you and hold you in all the good and bad times. There were many times that I had wanted something so bad and God told me no.  I was so upset and even yelled at God! He can take it and he understands our frustrations. God knows our hearts and thoughts. He carried me through some disappointments in my life. But looking back, I am glad God said no at those times, because I was not ready for that yes at that time I was seeking it. Trust in HIS process! Trust in HIS timing. 

Joshua 1:9: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." 

Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Love to all,
