Blaspheme to GOD?
This morning, after thanking God for life and my health I suddenly begin thinking about my hair , not in my usual way though , more deeply this time. I asked myself why I wanted to have my natural hair back and why am I locking. I wanted my natural hair because I realized that if I was created that way by GOD that’s how I was meant to be and I locked because I wanted to cut my preparation time on mornings in half plus, I just love the way they look! This thought brought to my attention that when we use harmful chemicals to change the texture of our hair, it’s more than making your hair more “manageable” or self-hate ,we are actually saying to GOD “yes you created me beautiful, everything you created is beautiful BUT I can do it better”. Doesn’t that statement seem highly disrespectful and ungrateful to say to the being that created man ,creatures and the earth ! it’s a big deal. My (please note that I said MY) belief is anyone who tries to mimic something not natural to them are blaspheming against GOD. Stay encouraged, honour GOD keep your natural beauty.
One Luv.
It is a blessing
Hey sista, I agree 100% on that. I love my nappy hair! I was thinking about getting locks, but I just braid it or rock the natural. It is truely a blessing when women are waking up out of the idea of chemically altering the nature of their crown. Because that is exactly what it is...our Crown. We as black people are royalty! No other race has the crown that we have. Stay nappy by Nubian sistas.
You said it best...
I have been chemical free for 3 1/2 years now and I could never put into words why I decided to let my hair go back to the way God intended. You just said it for me. It was always a spiritual decision but I just could not pin point exactly why, now I realize that I wanted to be the ME that God intended, not Revlon. My family really took it hard when I went natural, and I don't know why. My hair, while relaxed was never thick, full, or healthy. It never grew down past the nape of my neck but you would have though that I was Chaka Chan and had shaved my head bald. :-) Anyway, I have been very please with my natural hair and started sisterlocks last October and I love them!!!
I agree with you that with
I agree with you that with our actions we are saying that Yah, the God of Creation, made some type of mistake in our design. And I for one KNOW that that is false. If anything He made us Superior!
Todah for the marvelous reminder!
Yahfa
