Bad Hair Day?

Last week, I talked about another member of Timothy Project that I named “Deanna.” This week, my subject is a girl I’m calling “Sherry.”

Last week, we talked about being accepted by God through the sacrifice of Jesus – salvation.

This week, the subject is not quite so critical, but to “Sherry” it’s very important. “Sherry” has what I would call “frizzy” hair. But, don’t tell her that. It bothers her very badly. Cammie, my wife, has seen Sherry cry because someone said something along those lines. Cammie has spent quite a while trying to help Sherry get her hair clean, get it brushed out, and get it styled. But, it has been a huge challenge, and at some point, they’ve had to quit and eat breakfast, go to church, whatever happens to be next on the schedule.

But, it was obvious that Sherry was hurting. And Cammie doesn’t deal well with having to watch other people’s pain. So, we contacted two wonderful women in the community and asked for their help. These women have made an appointment at a hairdresser in town to have the problem dealt with professionally, and plan to help Sherry work through this. Sherry never could have afforded to do this. Cammie and I don’t really have the ability to do it either. I am so thankful for these women.

I’m also thankful for the opportunity that many of you have helped provide. If we didn’t have a Retreat Center, and if we weren’t able to use it for things like Timothy Project, we might never have known about Sherry’s problem. Now, because we can be involved in helping her through this, we will probably also be able to be involved in much more important ways.

Thank you to all of you who are helping us minister to these kids. Thank you for allowing even a “bad hair day” to be an opportunity for ministry. Thanks and praise to God for all He has provided, and for all He is doing. Please pray that He will be glorified in this, and that He will be much more a part of Sherry’s life because of this experience.
