walk in love

this week i didn’t really know what to write about but i felt God tell me not to write it until the morning i post it, so that’s what i’m doing. the day this goes up is the day i’m writing it. i didn’t really know why God wanted me to wait but i decided that it was best if i just listen to him anyways. yesterday we went to lunch and the girl who gave us our food was telling me how much she loved my curly hair and how she wished she had hair like mine and i immediately started crying. little did she know that i started straightening my hair in 6th grade, 7th grade i was told i have alopecia which led to all of my eyelashes falling out, 9th grade my hair started thinning out a lot, and over the past 4 months i have been on a journey to get my natural curly hair back.. and you may be thinking, what does that have to do with anything? i’ve been on a 3 year journey with my hair and i’ve been on a 3 year journey to loving myself the way God created me to be and at first i was so angry and upset and i always asked God, why me? God why did you have to do this to me? and God simply answered, “if i wanted someone else to go through this and use their story then i would have picked someone else.. but i picked you.” that girl at the restaurant didn’t know what i’ve been through, she didn’t know me at all, but she went out of her way to compliment me. you have no idea what is going in other people’s lives. that’s why it’s so important that we show everyone we meet that they are loved. you have no idea what your best friend may even be going through. walk in love no matter what. God called us to be the light of the world and if we could just love one another, you have no idea the impact you could have on somebody’s life.
