To color, or not to color. That is the question.
I have two gray streaks, one on each side of my face.
(My almost-40 face sitting on my almost-40 neck. Egads!)
So what options do I have?
I tried a $10 box mix last spring, but didn't like the natural highlights it covered up in my hair.
Not to mention the gray showed up the very next day. What a waste of time and money.
I could go gray gracefully. I could be brave and laugh in the face of societal standards.
I could admit it's all vanity and accept who I am in Christ.
That would be the holy route.
I could remember that earthly treasures fade (like hair color)
and instead store up treasures in Heaven.
and instead store up treasures in Heaven.
I could use the $100+ I'd pay at a salon to instead sponsor a child
who doesn't have enough nutrition to grow a full head of any color hair.
That would be noble, too.
And good.
And hard.
I'll admit it. I'm vain. When I look good, I feel good.
.
But I'm asking myself, at what cost?
To my soul?
Does it have to be one or the other?
Beauty or charity?
I only have one checkbook, one source of income.
It just might be.
So don't judge me if you see me trying to pull my hair up all sorts of crazy
trying to hide the gray
while I try to sort this thing out.
I'm open to suggestions...
