Hi friend,

You know that moment when you're looking for something in your bathroom cabinet, and you come across a hair product you'd completely forgotten about?

You pick it up, look at the label, and remember how excited you were to try it.

Someone recommended it. The reviews were promising. You were convinced it was exactly what your hair needed.

And yet, there it sits.

It's funny how something we couldn't wait to get our hands on can become something we barely remember owning.

And it makes me wonder: How often are we looking for something new without fully understanding what we already have?

That's where stewardship comes in.

God has entrusted us with resources. And Luke 16:10 reminds us that faithfulness in little things matters, too.

Part of being grateful for what He's provided is learning to use those resources with care and intention.

And yes, that includes the products we've purchased for our hair.

So here's a little assignment for this week.

Pull out your cleansers, conditioners, leave-ins, and stylers.

Take note of what's expired, what you've forgotten about, and what you may have purchased more than once. (I just did this myself and it was eye opening.)

Then ask yourself three questions:

1. What concern was I hoping this product would address?
2. Do I already own something that serves that purpose?
3. Have I given it a fair opportunity to see how my hair responds?

This isn't about never buying another hair product. It's about making thoughtful choices with what we already have before deciding what else we need.

This week, choose one product you already own that still suits your hair's needs. Give it a specific purpose in your routine, and pay attention to how your hair responds.

Because good stewardship isn't just about what we acquire. It's also about how we care for and use what we've been given.

Now I'd love to hear from you.

Hit reply and tell me: What did you find in your stash? 😊

Until next time, honor what God has given you, and remember who you are in Christ.
