A Journey Begun

That's "using my head!"

I am so excited, because today it became official: I will have the opportunity to share with some High school and Middle school girls at my church about my experience being bald.

The girls are participating in a program called Locks of Love. It is a service project in which they will grow their hair out for the next year and then cut it and donate it for wigs to be made for children with medically induced baldness. I thought it so neat and called the youth office to express my thanks. Then, I offered to come visit with the girls, just to thank them and share my bald estate with them, in hopes it would make what they are doing become more real and personal.

So, over the next week, I will be collecting my thoughts. I appreciate all prayers for that process, so that perhaps I can say something truly helpful. I am trusting the Lord will give me words and ideas to that end, and I am truly excited that I can use my baldness to help! I love it when I get to see the Lord use something hard to a good end!

If you are interested, you might want to check out the Locks of Love website: www.locksoflove.org (if not org, then try net. Sorry about that!)
