Years ago I met a lady through a job. We didn't really get much of a chance to talk, but I decided I liked her right away. Others didn't take to her as I did. She had many silent talents, much to share. Well, I never really gave her a lot of thought when I was home; although one night I had a powerful dream. A small crowd including myself, were gathered around, listening to the most beautiful voice, one that gives you shivers, singing to our Lord. In my head, I heard 'church music.' I received a message that I was to let this woman know that God wanted her to sing. He wanted to hear her voice, for her to share her voice.
I returned to work I believe the next day, and at some point I asked her, "Do you sing?" She then told me that she smokes, and had thought about quitting to return to singing. She told me that it is Gospel that she sings. I told her of my dream, and am not sure how that affected her, but I have always wondered. It was important to me that I pass this message along, as I really didn't know her deeply, but I knew that she had something special to share.
I to this day would like to hear her sing. I am hoping someday that something leads me to this God-given voice that was meant to be heard. I never really heard much positive spoken about this woman, but I knew I felt something from this soul, and I really didn't mind being the messenger.
I will overcome my addiction, just a matter of pushing my ego out of the way. Reading the book James suggested in his last experience is very eye opening.
Have a wonderful day and continue to be the loving person that is you!
