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.
