Hi blog I buzzed my hair…. Since my freshman year of high school I have had longish hair. I’ve found a ton of confidence in my hair for many years. The long curls in a way defined me in my own eyes. I felt like I started to become actually ME with the hair. I found a new friend group in high school with the long hair, found a passion for photography with the long hair, got my first girlfriend with the long hair, graduated high school with the long hair… and yes, I found a real relationship with Jesus with the long hair. 

But since coming on the race my faith in God has grown abundantly, so much that I honestly feel like a new man. About a week ago, I felt like God was asking me to buzz my hair. I didn’t know why at first, and I really didn’t want to, like I said the hair defined me. 

But after a week of praying through it, and praying that God would give me someone to do it with me, He came through in multiple ways. Kaylin one of the team leaders on my trip showed me a video of why she shaved her head a year ago, the whole time watching I felt god tugging at my heart that he wanted me to. And later this same night my good friend Hayden who is on my team decided out of the blue he was gonna shave his head. I knew right away I was supposed to do it with him. So I did it, I stepped into a completely new look, and I took a step further into all in faithfulness in God. God has shown me that how I look does not define me, because I know who I am in his eyes.. and that silly hair doesn’t matter.
