Last week, I was had the opportunity to meet
an amazing girl. She was the first participant that I
had met that week. At EFY the standards that the participants are asked to
follow are set at a higher bar so that they can feel the spirit more. When I
met Sammie she had a pink strip of hair that did not fall under the
guidelines... I had to ask her to dye it. She had come all alone but she
handled it like a champ. Before I asked her to dye it I said a
silent prayer and asked Heavenly Father to help me find the
easiest way to help Sammie. As I talked to her, you could see that this was a
hard thing for her. The only option we had was to dye her hair. As you can see,
she has gorgeous hair and did not want to change it. As I watched her make the
hard decision, you could see all she wanted to do was to choose the right no
matter the outcome. As she uttered "Yes
I will dye it," a thought came into my head. As silly as it was, it
was inspired by God. Since it was just a strip of pink hair, I thought why not
just put a hair wrap in. Before presenting the idea to her I had to get it
approved. I know that because she was willing to dye her hair, Heavenly Father
provided a different option for her. He just needed to see if she would be
willing. I am so proud of Sammie and the example she was to the others at EFY. We
became great friends. She is a daughter of God, and she’s hot :]
