Well....I am sitting in my apartment thinking on how fast and yet slow this summer seems to be going all at once....and it seems to leave me speechless....well actually literally....
I am in the midst of fighting a chest cold that within the last day has gotten much worse...to the point where I woke up this morning and literally had no voice.....yesterday when this first started happening my first immediate reaction was to panic a little....I have never lost my voice EVER and of course thoughts went through my head like....what if something is seriously going wrong....what if I can't sing again ever....you know all those what ifs that go through the head....But then during the show.....I was reminded that a little vocal problem is nothing compared to the trials that Jesus had to go through.....and I was reminded of the God that I serve....do I trust Him enough to let Him have control over this?.....So right now I am learning to be confident in being speechless and trusting that God has the timing of my voice coming back all in control.....
I guess ultimately that is the biggest thing I am learning from this summer....anything....no matter how hard that I go through is nothing in comparison to what Jesus went through.....I am also constantly being reminded that everyone, me, you, my parents, friends, and even the disciples are sinful mortals who daily have to learn to walk with Jesus a little bit more....and yet often times we think we understand when we don't.......sometimes I am learning the more I talk....the less I really know and am just trying to appear in control.....so I guess being speechless right now is good for me....I am trying to control my tongue more....for where words are many sin is not absent.....
On a lighter note....I am LOVING this summer as a whole....the people are so great...each and every one of them means so much to me and it's funny how much you can learn from others...Thanks guys...you all rock....
