Piercings...

I remember for my 16th birthday, I told my sister I wanted my belly button pierced but she advised me not to. She didn't go all scriptural on me. She simply asked me these questions: 

Sis: when you get it done, are you going to be wearing small tops to show it off?

Me: No 

Sis: then what's the point of getting it done or who are you going to be showing it off too? 

Me: my friends. They will see it when I am changing for PE in the changing rooms. 

I was joking with her and I didn't get it done because I understood where she was coming from... I hope you do to. 

Since I wasn't allowed that, up till today, I really want the top of my left ear pierced especially when they are so in trend but all the thoughts that go on in my mind stops me from doing it. To make it worst, quite a lot of people around me have theirs done and when I see it, I'm just thinking "aww that looks so nice" I'm not talking about people that have about 10 piercings on one ear (exaggerating)- that's just looks disgusting and taking it too far, I'm talking about the ones that have maximum of 3/4. But in reality, something is still stopping me from getting it done. 

I actually have two holes at the bottom of my left ear and I did used to wear earrings on both holes but now-a-days, when I try to do that, I don't get peace of my mind and  I get this discomfort- almost like I am about to do something that I shouldn't be doing. All these thoughts are going in my mind. The reason for having two holes in the first place is because my mum pierced another one for me due to the first one being too big. Too big that I always lost my left earring because the butterfly would fall out then my earring will fall out because it wasn't secured. My mum pierced another one for me and told me to stop wearing earring in the first one so that it can close itself, but you know I didn't listen to her. I just saw it as an opportunity to start wearing two earrings :) Cooooool. I did that for few years up until the start of this year where I have stopped and just struggle to wear two earrings on my left ear. 

How did the post come about? 

This post came about because I'm planning to get my hair relaxed (woo, team relaxed :) I tried the natural thing for 6 months and it got too painful so I just had to turn to the relaxer. Anyway, that's another separate issue). Okay, so I'm getting my hair relaxed tomorrow and I was just thinking about how I would have it styled for Sunday service. Because of the outfit I will be wearing (lol I have already planned what I will be wearing. It's because I'm in the choir and we only get to wear our choice of outfit once a month, so might as well make it look good :)). Okay, I really need to stop drifting off. Because of my outfit, I wanted my hair to be packed up to the middle in a bun. But the problem is when I have my hair packed up to the middle; nothing hanging by the side, no fringe- just plain and simple, my face either looks shocked, plain or dull. Anyway I don't like my face looking like that but I like the hair style. So to sort this out and make myself feel better, I would wear two earrings on my left ear. In my mind, I think doing this adds a little something to my face structure and doesn't make it look as plain/dull/shocked as it might do without the extra earring. So for this Sunday, I was thinking am I going to have to wear two earrings on my left ear? One voice in my mind is saying "yes", another voice is saying "no", another voice is saying "no, just style your hair differently. Right now, I think I am saying "I'm not going to bother getting my hair relaxed. Everyone seems to be busy so I'll get it done another day" :) 

To conclude, there is actually a reason why I haven't had all these piercings done and why I only choose to wear one earring on each ear. Writing this post has actually made me fully understand why I don’t but I won't state the reason because it's a personal reason and revelation between God and me, not everyone will understand the reason and the reason will definitely create some problems between me and people. So it's best to leave it unsaid. Although you can get a little glimpse of the reason from the Bible but all I am going to say and leave you with is, as a Christian, your image and the way you carry yourself really matters. 

Thank you :)

Why the long break?

Hi everyone! 
Some of you might be wondering why I haven't written a post for a while. It's not because I haven't had anything to write. It's because my previous post created some issues between me and some friends so I have been very reluctant and hesitant to post another one. But hey, here I am, doing it! I’ve come to the acceptance that some people will take offence to some of the things I say and write even though I don’t mean any offence. I have been told that I am a judgemental person but I personally don’t think so or at least, I don’t mean to be. It’s a process God is working on. It’s just I get this type of grieving in my heart when I see people do things outside the will of God especially those who know God’s word, so sometimes I just speak out and the things I speak out sounds judgemental to people. Don’t worry;even I get annoyed/angry at myself when I do things outside the will of God especially when I know what I am doing is wrong. For example, I remember one time when I was doing PE in secondary school. My worldly friends would be singing worldly songs and I would say out loud “I know I am not suppose to be singing this song but I am going to sing it anyway” then I sang and danced with them. Later in the day,when I thought about my actions, I would condemn myself like “why did you sing the song when you know you’re not supposed to. How are you showing you are different from them if you’re going to indulge yourself in the same activities they are doing?!” But the thing is I don’t remain feeling condemned. I make sure I learn from my wrong doings and carry on living life. It’s really good toreflect on your day. It makes you think of how you can handle things better andyou might just learn something from it. Try it! J
