I think you should get blue highlights in your hair. If you don’t like it, you can always dye it back.

I think you are right that we often view ourselves as ordinary which is a shame because no one is ordinary. Your smile is beyond ordinary! That big smile in the little thumbnail is what drew me to check out your blog. Keep smiling, friend!

I found it interesting to read in that yesterday my 11 year old – who is blond with her daddy’s brown eyes (and beautiful!) told me she wished she had brown hair. What is it that makes us wish for something different than who God created us to be? Why can’t we see how extraordinary we are, in Him?

But I do think next time you dye your hair – it should be deep, dark brown – with a few streaks of blue! I think it would look cute on you!

I hear your heart in this!! You are so special in your Pappa’s eyes, totally extra-ordinary! Even if you were the only person He ever created, your Lord Jesus would still have died for you to reconcile you to Himself. That makes you extra extra-ordinary, don’t you think! And who would want blue eyes when they could have your beautiful soulful brown ones?
Much love
Mia

And a wonderful reminder that we are all extraordinary to the One who matters most. Thank you for sharing this! Have a wonderful weekend!
