My Hair is Orange

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."
