That Salon Feel.....

I got my hair cut this week. I really got it cut, too! Probably 6 inches and it is the shortest I have ever had it since high school. It looked so easy to do as the stylest used a blowdryer and roller brush. I went home and didn't want to wash my hair again because I knew what would happen if I did. I woke up today after washing it last night and can NOT get it to look like it did when I walked out of the salon. I did exactly as she did, (in my own version) and cannot get it to have that Salon look.

It makes me think of "that salon feel" that occurs in so many situations... recharging at a conference, getting married, starting a new job, getting your tax return money....I could go on and on. with examples. It is that feeling you get when you think, "I actually think I can conquer the world!" Then life happens and you realize that Salon feeling will not last every day. But that's okay! I think God gives us those little moments to jump charge our joy factory and sometimes that feeling can get us back on our feet when we need it most. I like the verse below from James. God basically tells us, "enjoy the good times and praise Me for them".

James 5:13

"If you are having trouble, you should pray. And if you are feeling good, you should sing praises."

Jealousy!

Dakota is so jealous that she is not the baby of the house right now. I haven't seen her like this before. She has been crawling on the floor, wanting me to hold her and talking like a baby since my neice Cadence has come to visit. It is always interesting to see someone when they get put out of their place and how they react. We all feel comfortable in the little position we have placed for ourselves and usually feel quite threatened when someone shows up better than us or even the same as us.

Romans 12:16

"Live in harmony with one another.

Do not be proud, but be willing to associate

with people of low position."

Do not be conceited.
