I came across this post on my FB page and it really hit me in the gut. Im going to be super transparent with you. Ever since I was little, I have had the desire to be somebody's wife. I have always been in a relationship, always felt that I needed a man. Well the past year or so, really since I turned 30, I have been challenged. I was beating myself up because I had not accomplished what I that was adult goals, by the time I turned the big 3-0. Actually my relationship was on its last leg, I was not where I wanted career wise, I didn't have my husband and 5 kids. It really sent me into a depressive state. --How many of you have beat yourself up because you haven't arrived or accomplished what society says you should have by a certain age?? Well you aren't alone. -- So last year I told myself that I was no longer going to look for man or a man to be with and to make me feel accomplished. I started to seek God, really date Him. My desire for Him increased and I found myself excelling in life, far more then I have in my 32 years on earth. From this venture of dating God, I learned to love and embrace who Tyronde' truly is. I'm still a work in progress, don't get me wrong. But I see so much growth just from allowing God to come in and show me truly love. I then can turn around and love myself truly.
So I did something HUGE this weekend! I started wearing my hair in its natural state. Now if you know me then you know I always have my hair in some extensions or flat ironed and styled. Well this weekend God told me "Wear you natural hair. Embrace it." When I tell you I have not worn my hair like this ever in my life! I always said that the natural look just aint for me. Well look at me now. I feel so free. And I could careless what they next person thinks of my hair. Now let me say, Monday night and Tuesday morning I was so scared to go into work because I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know how people were going to react. AND not to mention I had a huge break out on bot sides of my face! But I put my big girl panties on and walked into my office, natural and all! And NOTHING HAPPENED! no one said anything. IDK what I thought they were going to say lol. I say all this to say, Love and Embrace yourself! do not look to man for anything, not even attention and affection. I love me some attention, but when I feel I need that, I look to God. And He loves on me and is affectionate with me every time! <b>because God is love (PERIODT).</>
