#22 Donating my hair

Today I cut nearly 10 inches off my hair to donate it to www.childrenwithhairloss.us . I debated about which organization to donate it to, but they are a small independent organization and I thought that since they were not as stringent as the "big" players I would give them my hair since they appeared to be doing good work for some suffering children. Well, obviously I have been planning it awhile (since I have had to grow my hair out for awhile now) and my hair dresser has been helping by coloring only the top of my head (which I did not donate) and patiently trimming only a tiny bit off each time I went for months and months now. So what made me want to do this? Back in September when I started making my list, God prompted me to put this on my "secret list". I kept it a secret until recently because I was not doing it because "I'm a good person" etc. etc..., but simply because God told me to do it. You see, if you ask me what is the one physical attribute that I most prize myself on, I will tell you.......MY HAIR. Thus, God has asked me during this 40 things I must do before I turn 40, was that I needed to give that up. I needed to sacrifice it to benefit others. And because I don't want the glory for this, because it is God to told me to do this--He needs to get the Glory, I really did not want to tell people I was planning on doing this until right before (or right after)I did it, cause many people just DONT understand all that. Why now?, why not in June when I initially planned on doing it? Well coming back from Ethiopia I felt it was time for some changes in me and this was the perfect time for that change, so today was the day. Was I nervous? Apprehensive maybe, but not nervous. I trust Rachael, and as with every task that God has placed on this list of 40 things.......I had peace, almost a little too much peace cause Rachael told me I needed to be more excited :). I love the change, and I am excited, I like the peace.......its good to feel the quiet..................
