I have naturally curly hair (like you can’t tell with the ever growing frizz always atop my head). But, for those women reading this who have naturally straight hair, I’m going to let you in on a curly hair insider phenomenon known as “clingy curls“. This is what happens when curly hair naturally sheds and wraps itself around everything you own. Around fingers, arms, feet, cups, cell phones, the couch, kitchen chairs..you name it..the hairs just wrap around everything they touch and don’t fall to the ground, like most straight hair would. It can be very irritating to me AND everyone who lives with me. I leave little”presents” everywhere I sit. I recently had a particularly irritating “clingy curls” morning. My hair was everywhere…all over me, all over everything I tried to touch. Standing in my kitchen making school lunches, I had a thought that made me laugh out loud:
“If anyone ever tried to link me to a crime, it would be sooo easy. All they would need to do is just look down for a minute for the trail of curly hairs I would leave behind with all that DNA on it!“ I laughed at myself for a few seconds…then stopped dead in my tracks, as The Lord used the moment to illustrate an important Truth to me. He whispered to my heart…. “Wherever you go, I want you to leave traces of ME behind.”
