going to the hairdresser

dear everyone,

I will post about what God did for me for sanctification week another time...but this is about when I went to the hairdresser.

As I told some of you in church just now, I wanted to go and rebond my hair tonight to try something different. I prayed to God to direct to the hairdresser who will do a good job because I did not want ugly hair and spend a lot of money in the process. I was going to go to parkway parade to do the rebonding job because there were a number of hairdressers there and I could pick and choose.

while I was waiting at the busstop to go to parkway parade, i suddenly thought I should go to another area near parkway to cut instead. when I reached the parkway busstop I felt that I should go to the area, which is the Roxy Square shopping centre, to rebond my hair instead.

At first I was quite hesitant whether that was God speaking. I finally thought 'I can never be 100% sure it is God speaking anyway - it is also faith. I shall walk by faith and not by sight - and not think of many of my own wisdom why I should go Parkway instead. I shall follow what it appears like God speaking and go Roxy Square.' So I went to the shopping centre and walked around praying that God will give me a hairdresser.

I decided on this hair salon. When I went in and sat down, they were playing chinese christian songs in the background, which is the first time I hear christian songs being played in hair salons. I thought to myself that 'cool..this seems like God.'

While I was at the hair salon, I started talking to the hairdressers there. There were like 3 of them - they took turns to talk to me, depending on whether they were busy with other clients.

Praise God for the testimonies that I heard from them and also what they shared with me from their own lives.

I shall share some here...

one of them while rebonding my hair told me that one side of my head was a bit different from the other (i get that very often from hairdressers - my head shape kinda unusual) and she told me to pray abt it. then she shared with me that they had a customer who had jutting out ears and she prayed abt her ears and the hairdressers in the salon prayed for too - after a few months, God answered their prayers and her ears moved closer to her head.

another of them was sharing abt her daughter and how God helped her in her exams. during her a levels literature exam, she complained to her mum that she had a lot to study and could not finish. Her mum told her to pray and she did. God gave her the names of 4 (or is it 6?-cannot remember) out of the 9 books. when she finished she had a bit of time and prayed some more and God gave another 2 books to study. finally when the exams came, the topics were on the first 4(or 6) books God told her to study and she got an A for A levels literature. the mum shared that the daughter was doing badly in the school exams in JC and the teacher kept wanting to see the mum and told the mum that it is very difficult for your daugther to make it to Uni. In the end she got A,B and C for A levels and is going to go NUS! - the teacher after that called it a miracle.

I asked one of them how was business in the salon. she said that it is alright - she said that when business is quiet, they will proclaim that God will bring a lot of customers to them (I am one of them), and there will be many customers that willcome thereafter. then she shared with me that there is power in proclaimation and I can do the same for my work.

they also shared that this hair salon was really a ministry started by God. they were all previously housewives. then some time back, God planned it such that they all separately on their own started to gain some hairdressing skills. then one of the ladies' husband suddenly told her that he could give her a shop space to a business. then they got together to start the hair salon and they would share their testimonies about God to their customers.

anw one of the aunties encouraged me a lot to pray. she said to praise God and pray the first in the monring. she was like 'God answers prayer.' and 'Satan is afraid of the weakest Christian on his knees. she also asked me 'how many people have you won to Jesus?'...I said 'a few.'...then she encouraged me to share my testimonies about God to others.

Praise God for bringing to the hair salons to meet the aunties. It is very humbling and encouraging to hear these aunties' simple faith and testimonies of God's love and power and how He uses them. I don't think they are much educated - they dun speak much english. I am like much more educated than them but they have more faith and commitment to God than me and God uses them more.

I want to have a heart that is teachable and believes God's word like a little child.
