Warrior Voice

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share with you some of what's going on in my life right now.

So, as many of you know, I sing. But I have also struggled a lot with self-acceptance in my life which has resulted in a lack of boldness and confidence. It has only been in the past year or so that I've learned to accept how I sound and have actually started to like how I sound.

One of the main things that God has been targeting in my life since I've been here at IHOPU is the fact that He gave me my voice for a reason and that He loves to hear it. I have been slowly gaining more confidence but it is still a struggle. One big example is, in the past the time leading up to me singing in front of people I am a nervous wreck. But recently, in the time leading up to a “gig” I'm really excited about it and I don't get nervous until it's just about to happen.

So, anyway, the point of me writing all this is this. The other day, can't remember if I was at church or at the GPR, but I got this “picture” of my voice as a weapon to use against the enemy. That thought alone has given me more confidence, because now I believe that when I sing the enemy hates it a flees. Like the song He Reigns by NewsBoys says “And all the powers of darkness tremble at what they've just heard. Cause all the powers of darkness can't drown out a single word.”

The thing now is having the courage to lift up my “sword” and use it with confidence.
