God-Given Gift

by

I heard a small voice tell me to sing.

I never thought that I’d be the type to sing. EVER. I’m kind of a shy person, and have serious stage fright. I go to an amazing church. The Church in Peaster is incredible. That’s where I found God. I was saved. I go to the youth group Pipeline. The sermons always speak to me and relate. I love God so much. I have a great relationship with him. But I was confused.

Anyways, it all started when I heard a small voice tell me to sing. I thought, “why would I ever!” I was told a couple of times before that I had a great voice, but I never thought God would want me to use it for him! He put it on my heart for several weeks. I was still too afraid to ask our pastor. Deathly afraid. I’m not very social about stuff like this. God wouldn’t let me say no.

So finally, one brave Wednesday, I asked him if I could sing. I told him that God put it on my heart to sing. He looked shocked. It’s rare when people go and ask him that because God tells certain people to. J.R. told me to go to the following week’s practice that Tuesday night. I was thrilled and proud that I did it. I thanked God and was actually unafraid.

That all changed Tuesday. I attended the practice. Naomi is a beautiful girl who has the most amazing voice. She took me into the Sunday church for me to show her how I sing. I was extremely nervous and intimidated by her. You have no idea how amazing her voice is. I finally sang, “Here I am to Worship.” I sang it just the same as I always did to myself. There were other people in there that I didn’t notice. They heard me too.
