I think out every pain and struggle there is something waiting to be birthed. This is even more so with the pains of life that we endure. Hair loss is one them. In life we are confronted with so many things, but how you look at them will determine your reaction.
Out of pain I found comes joy, if you allow it to spring forth. Over the years I have gradually lost my hair. Although I did not endure the pain of losing my hair, I've endured other pains. It can be excruciating.
I know that within each of us is a mechanism to fight back and to be more than conquerors. In doing so, the conquer the thing that wants so desperately to conquer you. How, by realizing that there is nothing in this world more powerful than you, but God. Sometimes God allows us to endure things because He has uniquely equipped us to be victorious over it in order that we can encourage someone else.
What if there was only one person in the world who experienced hair loss. Where would that person go for comfort. There are more than one of us. Because there are, we are able to stand together in support of each other. Isn't that what Alopecia World is all about.
You don't have to be alone. Why? Because you are not alone. Thank God for Alopecia World that allows us to connect and share our joys, victories and even our trials and tribulations.
Each day someone is here to encourage, uplift and support you. that is priceless. Out of pain came support.
I can't help but recall so many years ago when I was undergoing a severe attack at a church I attended. It was excruciating. Out of that pain I found a place to help others. I call it Oh Break Out! It is a conference I hold every year to simply help others break out of the limitations of this world that has kept them in bondage long enough. Those limitations can be anything, including hair loss, that prevents you from becoming the person God envisioned you to be so you can experience all that God saw (spiritual, abundance and wholeness).
This time of the year it becomes even more evident as I'm gearing up for the Oh Break Out Experience. In essence, it is a gift I give to others. It is free. Doesn't cost anything except for their presence so they can be released from those debilitating things that causes pain.
My joy is when I receive reports of how someone overcame life-long fears, anxieties, and depression. Like last year when our Psalmist overcame a 40-plus year fear of riding trains. What a gift! It is priceless.
This year, on December 3rd, I'm looking to provide some more gifts. Out of pain and agony comes glory and victory. It is beyond us. Everything we actually go through is for us to help someone overcome. When we do, it is such a rewarding cycle of one victory after another.
