I AM NOT MY HAIR!!!

Wow right before my birthday on February 17th, I went to the infirmary on my college campus because my face was horribly swollen. Now day prior to this event, I noticed that the skin around my hairline and in between almost looked burned...I was curious and though maybe it was a simple allergic reaction. But it wasn't. Went to the doctors and was diagnosed with Tenia Capitis. It a skin/hair fungus. WOW SHOCKING..but the worse part was that my hair was falling out. I would post pictures but I would like you all to enjoy your dinner tonight...lol. So I had to pay for 200 dollars worth of medicine. Two bottles of shampoo and a rack of pills. The Dr. urged me to wash my hair every day, without missing a beat. I had to take one pill everyday at dinner. She also told me to eat fatty foods when I took the pill...lol. Well, when I first heard the news, I had my human reaction; I cried. But then I walked back to my place and as soon as I got in my room my soul cried out in Praise. I praised God for this gift. For weeks before this happened I was led by the spirit to read JOB, and it helped me to learn about being strong and facing adversity with boldness, no matter how often the enemy tries to break you. Well, I took this as challenge. And it was a challenge, first because the shampoo smelled like urine, and by washing my hair everyday, the smell remained on me. EMBARRASSING!!! I wore scarves throughout the end of Feb and March. Totally not feeling it because I love my hair. I love to switch it up so this was not an easy task for me. Furthermore, one Sunday in church I went to the alter for alter call. One of the ministers came to me and said "Don't you know who you are???...You already know that you are not of this world.. She took my hands and said you already know what your spiritual gifts are. You can use it on other people, but it's time to use  it on yourself..." I was shocked, how could I have missed that simple but important factor about myself.... That afternoon I anointed myself with holy oil and rubbed my hands through my hair and PRAYED like never before. Let me tell you, a week after, my hair was growing like never before, the spots in my hair were gone!!! I thought I should share my story...Love you guys. Be Blessed Not Stressed!!! P.S: I'm back to wearing my hair like I want to. The enemy thought he could Break me, NOT!!!! :)
