Dreadlocks Update

>> My dreads are coming along nicely. They still aren't mature but we're getting better at maintaining them and God is faithfully refining my heart and showing me that I am still prone to put faith in my appearance.
>>
>> It's ok to be clean, kept up and even trendy but I too often forget to praise God for His creation and His greater beauty and instead focus on my fleeting beauty and how others view it.
>>
>> I'm finding it hard to explain...
>>
>> I put dreads in so I could focus less on my appearance and more on God. I found that I can still, if left unchecked, put my focus on my appearance. Basically I'm still a sinner. No outward actions are going to change that. Only Christ can save me from myself.
>>
>> Thank God for that.
