Well, another month has flown by, another year in my life gained, another valuable lesson learnt. The voice is such an amazing thing, and one that I feel is only over shadowed by the God who created it. See last weekend I experienced a real down vocally, hadn’t been singing, so singing was definately not the cause. Had a throat ache that came about through a neck ache, brought on by creating a bad habit of how I slept on my neck. I’m still working on getting rid of the habit, but have started to.
But through a concentrated effort to relax and warm up beyond the norm and the intervention of a God that never fails, my voice went beyond capacity and peaked by the end of the week. See, it ain’t over till the little lady sings. Cos when I know ‘I can’t’ I definately know that ‘He can’ and that he will when I know for sure that I’m just a vessel for him to sing through. And it is indeed my joy and pleasure to be just that.
I know for sure, that there are times when I swear my mouth opens after the sound comes out. No one can ever convince me that I am the sole-producer of the voice that comes out, I know it is above and beyond my capability, I’m well aware that it’s too good to be the result of my effort. A perfect picture right there of Gods grace, ‘which he has lavished upon us’. Totally mind-boggling and awesome! :-)
