My Hair is Orange

Picture
02.05.07

On the Occasion of giving up Swiffering on Sunday, I began to color my hair the Friday before. I kept asking God what this was all about since coloring my hair is always about some kind of control. As I was about to color my hair again on Sunday, I realized it was about giving up the control of my Sunday activities and letting the Lord be Lord of all.

I had no idea that I was such a control freak!

I open Your Word and say, let me hear You speak.

I’m quiet before You and enjoy the rest.

Why is swiffering such a test???




The need to control is driving me crazy,

I want to sit and NOT Do,

I’ll never be lazy


My mind is set on following You,

Except that I love to control and do and do.

Help me Lord! It’s bigger than me!

I organize and arrange all I see!



I need your help to trust you with this

Please do the work, relax my grip on the list

Of do and do and do and do!

Can I not go one day without polishing my shoe?



Help me Lord, I need You now

Before You my heart and knee I bow.

"Give it a rest! I AM Lord

Your heart is Mine first I WON’T be ignored!



"Leave your hair ORANGE


as a reminder today

That you need not trade addictions

You’re to give them away."

    BARB'S ARTWORK
    It seems to fall into the category of Aleatoric Art. I just scribble &  it looks
    like something 
    to me, so
    I turn it into
    whatever I see.


    ​Aleatoricart posted this description in September 2011 (this is an elevated view in my opinion):

    "Aleatoric Art is the ultimate collaboration between
    man and the elements. Happenstance, randomness
    and a twist
    of fate’s unwilling wrist go in halfseys
    with some of the most outstanding visionaries
    the planet can boast in a peaceful
    yet often violent serendipity of
    creative cacophony
    to produce works of art that go far beyond those
    of mere mortals alone."
