Not being healed... hmmm, yeah, you are seeking Him to tell Him what He needs to do, and let Him know that you would rather run the show, and inform Him that you think your ideas for your life are better than His. I understand. Those types of thought patterns can be difficult to recognize, let alone break. Self pity and resentment are pretty big blinders.

Hello Ahwatuckee 
I wouldn't say they didn't have any to begin with, but our eyebrows fade with age as does our hair and much else with pigmentation, for many of us, anyways ... the first woman I did not even notice until she told me, then I was like WHOA haha they were really quite dark and noticeable, but she dyes her hair quite deep dark red and it matched her coloring quite well. The other woman had hers done son after as a result of the first, and I did notice hers being different right away, though they look fairly natural even though they seen bigger and/or darker than normal brows might be for someone her age. Here is a before/after picture of a random someone with their brows done:

When I die I'm going to be with Jesus in paradise, just like the thief on the
cross/Moses/Lazarus/Elijah/Abraham
Luke 23:42-43 NKJV
[42] Then he said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom."
[43] And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."
Matthew 17:1-3 NKJV
[1] Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them
up on a high mountain by themselves; [2] and He was transfigured before them.
His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. [3] And
behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
2 Kings 2:11 NKJV
[11] Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire
appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a
whirlwind into heaven.
Luke 16:22-23 NKJV
[22] So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom.
The rich man also died and was buried. [23] And being in torments in Hades, he lifted
up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

2Co 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight)
2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Php 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Php 1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
These are saints in heaven while there is saints on earth,so the resurrection has not happened yet.
There is a resurrection of the saints,where those who are left at the end of the great tribulation get caught up,and it appears that when a saint dies they are in heaven,for to die is to be present with the Lord.

DUDE! It's the God of gods, not Santa Claus! I'm going to give you a little tough love right now. With your attitude, if I was your dad, I wouldn't give you five bucks. First let's get rid of that misinformation you have. God doesn't make the decision to heal people. Jesus didn't heal people. Through faith the Holy Spirit traveled through Christ, into the believer who was healed. It was written about a town that Jesus couldn't perform many miracles because their faith was so little. Christ admitted He just did what His Father told Him to do (John 5). Aside from that being focused on the superficial removes our focus from the Spiritual.
There are two parts of man, flesh and soul. If you want to hate God because You don't like the body He gave you then I hate to tell you but your physical problems are the least of your concerns. You need to want to be reconciled to God more than life, more than your children's lives, more than pleasure or anything. It's like a dad bought three kids cars, just because, he bought one a pick up truck, one a corvette and the other a Volvo. Then the kid with the Volvo complains that he didn't get the corvette. How do you think the father would react? Maybe the father knew that he needed the car all year driving in the wind, and the snow and he knew the car he gave him was going to be best suited for his needs. Then the guy with the corvette might be limited to where he can go. The point is that your vehicle is a gift. Treat it as such. I'm shorter than I would like to be but I know it is advantageous in some circumstances. I've shaved my head since I was thirty, rather than parting it in a circle.
People who are not thankful will never hear God. Count your blessings, look to the less
fortunate instead of those immersed in the trappings of this world. All of the stuff, all of the beauty, and power are desires of the flesh are what separates us from the Almighty. Every body gets ugly eventually, some just quicker than others. It's not your deeds that save you. Doing good deeds isn't what being a Christian is about. First comes love then the deeds. If you put the deeds before love then you attach with them expectations. "If I help these people, will you help me Lord?" It needs to be, "Thank you Lord, because you have be so kind and gracious to me, I will be kind and gracious to others."
I hope this helps. Christianity is an identity not a religion. It's something you are not something you believe. It's not believing that Jesus is the Son of God, it's accepting Him as Lord, your boss, you submit to God and His will. Then in the next life comes the reward. There are benefits now, but this isn't the payout. Right now we work and God gives us what we need. It's like a job,
if we need something then the company provides it. Then one day you will retire, death. After that you collect the pension you earned. We get rewards in the next life based on the performance of this one. If you want something from God than either make a case why you need it. Then thank Him for listening and if He says, "No" then ask why, and He will tell you.

No no I'm not saying all my ways are better than his. In fact, earlier when I said my way is better I was joking out of anger. My problem with God is strictly about my eyebrows. The only reason I'm mad about it is because its been this way since late 2015. I don't even care about how my life will go in terms of my future job and whatever else my future holds. God is in control of all that and I WANT him to be.

Reading your posts is interesting. So you are angry about your eyebrows.
I know this is important to you, but have you asked why?
My nose is crocked, I have a long back and short legs. Things could be different but
I accept what I cannot change, because that is my starting point.
I can choose to add to the blessing I have or just moan and make them worse.
Where ever I start I can either progress or sink back.
The way of man is usually to moan and want something more, because inside we
are not happy. They did a survey of people across society and most said if they
had twice the income they currently had they would be happy. So our problem
is always within but we blame things outside as the cause.
And God has spoken to you. It is called the bible. And He has revealed all you need
to start, but in all honesty, you have not really begun.
There are people here who suffer daily vast amounts of pain, who have had their lives
turned upside down, had great suffering and trials and bless the Lord for His great love
and gifts.
So my young friend, you have a lot to learn. But are you really willing to learn to
accept being where you are is ok. It is just a starting point. It does not define you.
What defines you is the next steps.
I hope this helps. Jesus is the way to life, love and eternity. But one step at a time
is enough.
