Locks of Love

Marissa and Daniella got haircuts--major haircuts. 
This is before.

This is after.


A HUGE change.  They both got about 12" cut.  Marissa has been letting hers grow out for about a year for Locks of Love.  She would get rather impatient with it being so long, but was stuck to her goal.  I'm really proud of her.  Daniella has been wanting her hair cut for a long time, and I've just been putting her off, but when it got to be time, hers was long enough for Locks of Love, too. 
For any who may have heard the rumor I did that they sell a lot of the hair instead of using it--they sell certain colors, such as gray. 
Well, I'm off to get ready for a dr. appt.  Ugh!!!  I've been taking blood pressure meds for about 15 years, and it's time for a refill.  This doctor (I deleted the adjective "dumb" that I had typed!) I use will only give me 6 months at a time.  I don't like anything about this office.  I recently found the name of a new place that a couple of different people I know use, but didn't have time to get in there as a new patient.  I hope to switch this time. 
I'll close with a passage I have been studying.  I feel like there is something here the Lord wants to show me. 
"Is this not the fast which I choose, to loosen the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free and break every yoke?  Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into the house; when you see the naked, to cover him; and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?  Then your light will break out like the dawn, and your recovery will speedily spring forth; and your righteousness will go before you; the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.  Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; You will cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.'  If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness, and if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness and your gloom will become like midday.  And the Lord wil continually guide you, and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and give strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.  Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will raise up the age-old foundations; and you will be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of the streets in which to dwell.  " 
 Isaiah 58: 6-11
