THE BIRTH OF O.O.Z.

-

    
 




      It all started with my desire to be beautiful at a very young age, my desire to be a model, a beauty queen. I worked daily on myself by taking very good care of my hair, skin, nails, face… making good use of all the natural stuff I could get around (Aloe Vera was one plant that I could really access).  I began to do a follow up on a lot of beautiful people and looked up to them as role models while working on being one myself.
      However, as time went on, I began to realize that I hadn’t grown as tall as I ‘needed’ to be. So, gradually, I began to feel bad about how I looked and that really affected my self esteem  and I began to give up on myself, but, that didn’t change my admiration for a lot of other beautiful people around me.
       There happened to be a friend of mine I really admire and respect a lot, she is a lady of great faith and during one of our talks one day, she revealed to me that her major secret of overcoming the acne she used to have was a verse of the bible ‘Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty…’ Psalm 50:2 and immediately that word struck me. I found myself holding on to those words and I decided to pick the acronym O.O.Z. from it, meaning Out Of Zion.
        Since there are a lot that comprise the totality of the beauty of a person, by the inspiration of God, JhummieOOZ will be centered on articles that have to do with being beautiful. As time goes on, as we begin to delve fully into the ministry of helping a lot of us find our true beauty in God (i.e who we are and who we are called to be in Christ) we will focus on all that can make us be prepared in God’s beauty. So, stay connected and anticipate the words that will transform you from the inside-out


JhummieOOZ says, stay beautiful in GOD!!!

WATER, A CURE FOR DANDRUFF!

-
For about six years before now, I struggled with dandruff on my hair. I tried several means just to cure this hair ailment but to no avail. I did the two-week interval washing, I used several kinds of antidandruff treatment, at a point I even thought it was something that should be dealt with internally and I had to use antibiotics and herbs, still the dandruff persisted. It got so frustrating that I almost took it as a fate because each time I applied oil, my scalp got dried almost immediately making it seem like I never applied cream or oil for days. I changed shampoos, hair creams and treatments, I used shea butter, olive oil, EVO, and even all combined, I remember a friend calling me 'danddy' because that name sounded like an abbreviation for dandruff, plus the dandruff usually caused a painful scalp for me. Finally, thank God for my friend, Angela who made me understand.that dryness is not necessarily caused by lack of oil but more importantly, lack of water and so, she

      I'm not in a very good position to give relationships advice. But, during one of my reflection times some days back, I realized by the Spirit of God, how much power of choice we have as females when it comes to whom we give our heart to, who we get to marry, who we get to give the chance of a date with us.      The question is; If we have this power, why then do we still make choices we later regret. The truth is that, some of these mistakes, or factors causing these mistakes can be avoided through several ways of which the most important is seeking the heart desire of the creator of man himself. He sees and knows what we don't, he knows the end from the beginning, and the beginning from the end.       Therefore, one of the most important things is to seek the will of God, which will guide you in choosing rightly.       In case you didn't know, your relationships can make you a more beautiful and complete woman or otherwise. I pray we all make the right choice.
