At Ignition training camp I heard that one of my teammates had gone from blonde to a darker hair color. I remember thinking, why would anyone not want to be blonde anymore?!? Not me…I want to have my blonde highlights touched up at least once more before I leave! So that was “my plan”.
About a week ago, I started to really think about why having blonde hair was so important to me. I thought that blonde hair made me prettier. “Blondes have more fun.” It had been something in my mind that made me more valuable and more desirable. It had been a source of attention for me.
As I thought about these things, they weren’t matching up with this new FREEDOM that I had been given at training camp. This freedom has broken chains of fear and shame. This freedom says that I am my Heavenly Father’s daughter. This freedom says that I am beautiful because I was created in His image. This freedom says that I have a purpose and a future. This freedom says that I am perfect just the way I am.
