After encountering an extremely hard season in life I became very depressed and run- down as a result of trying to do too much too quickly. As a result of this, I felt too tired a few nights in a row to brush my hair.
Hey burnout is real!
Anyway this inevitably led to getting a massive knot at the back of my head, it felt like my lovely long locks had been locked inside a birdcage!
I tried to get the knot out with several different brushes none of them did the job. So I washed my hair with a de-tangling shampoo. Again the knot just wouldn't budge. Finally I gave up and asked my house-mate to help me get this knot out, which was done with great pain for me. I realized as my poor house mate was tugging at my hair to get this knot out for me, that God was actually teaching me a few things through this.
Firstly and most obviously the importance of rest. We can't be productive all the time.
Also, how we can't let Staten have even the tiniest foot-hold in our lives, like the knot he will grow a big mess in our lives and it will hurt to navigate the traps we get entangled in.
Finally, I learned to not try to do everything my self. I had to get help to remove the knot, and sometimes the bad habits in our lives can be like knots that are tough to break through. Here we need to rely on the people God puts in our lives to help us get through and also throw ourselves on Jesus and work with him to move forward.
