sang

i sang tonight.
by myself.
just me.
at the inn.
in front of oh couple hundred people.
i get big. big butterfly's every time.
every time i do that.
people say my speaking voice is different than my singing one.
i wouldn't know.
they sound the same to me.
but what i do know is that the thing i treasure the most about myself is my voice.
my singing voice.
my speaking voice.
my metaphorical voice.
the comment that changed my life.
literally.
was about my voice.
a man who i admire greatly from my home church.
whose voice was powerful and strong.
whose voice spoke the words of jesus and made you shiver.
he told after i spoke in front of church.
after i read something.
i didn't sing - though he alluded to that.
i spoke.
he told me.
that voice.
that voice has the power to change.
i hope i hear that voice changing the world.
jack changed my life.
he made me view who i am in a completely different way.
and very time i get to use my voice in front of others.
or in those real conversations.
i feel it.
i feel what God said through jack.
i pray that i can always honor and please Christ.
with my voice.
