A Little Voice Finds It's ...Voice

     I have been reading "Chazown" by Craig Groeshel- a must read for anyone wanting to see their vision more clearly.  Every morning I have been journaling about my thoughts and answering the questions posed by the book.  Slowly the pieces are coming together and forming a picture.  What do I want to be known and remembered for?  What are my core values, passions, and dislikes?  What has happened in my past, good and bad, that have made me what I am today?  God has been bringing to my rememberance experiences, clues to who I am and was created to be.
      Here was one of those flashes:  When I was 2 or 3 I was with my mom at the laundromat and stood up on the table and began singing "Jesus Loves Me" at the top of my lungs.  I don't recall this particular instance clearly, but my mom has recounted it plenty of times!  I also have pictures to prove that I held concerts for my parents where I would sing with an old microphone in the living room.  No doubt that I have a passion for music and enjoy the stage!  Later in my teen years I was very active in my church's youth worship band and community theatre.  Now I love worshipping with The Revolution's worship team.
     What a sad thing that I have doubted the fullness of my calling.  My husband. Abram, is an awesome worshipper.  I have always known that our gifts compliment and work together, but somehow I have felt that my worshipping takes second place to his.  But God wants MY worship, and values it apart from anything else.  And of course, the awesome thing is that He put us together to multiply our gifts!  (And that is not just in our offspring.)
     There are so many other things that I know God has placed in me and wants for me, and I am amazed at the depths He created in me.  As the words flow, both here and in my private journaling, everything sharpens and the vision becomes clearer.  I encourage you to put words to your thoughts and find your voice.  Please be blessed and share!
