I have been extremely neglectful to my blog lately, and to my blog I apologize. So sorry blog. I totally have no intention on hurting your feelings.
Last week I started my daily challenge of choosing a different location every day to sing. Tuesday's adventure is highlighted in my previous post, check it or wreck it. Anyway, Wednesday was a work day for me and I ended up only having time to sing at the church before youth night. Thursday's rain prevented me from doing too much, but I was still able to practice in the church's fellowship hall. I know! I know! It was a fail attempt, but it helped me see I have to figure out how to go up against rainy days from now on.
Friday was cool. I decided the beautiful day was worthy of a day spent in Forest Park. After walking around the St Louis Zoo for some excersize, the Grand Basin felt fitting for a place to play music. The moment I sat down I was met by two smiling ladies. The fact that I cannot remember names is another hurdle I really need to have victory over, so I'll just do my best to describe them.
I was met first by an African American lady that had smile worth a thousand words. I want to say her name was Elaine, but I'm not certain. She was small in stature, but her spirit was overflowing. With her was her Voice Therapist, which I am fairly certain was named Laura. She was a much younger, lovely caucasian lady, and very quiet.
The one I'm calling Elaine asked me if I could sing her a song because she had just been given her certificate of graduation from her therapy course! It was a pleasure singing for her and congratulating her for her certificate. It was what happened after me singing that was the real joy; Elaine asked if she could share her voice and began singing A Capella a gospel song that completely blessed my socks off, which is hard to do because that day I was wearing "no shows", which are socks that wrap around your heel and toes and hide in your shoe. So for her to bless my socks off, they had to be pulled off of my feet and out from my Toms. Ok, so back to the story, her spirit that flowed from her soul really opened me up to have a blessed worship experience right there at the basin. We all have our stories, and Elaine will now be Investing her talent in a church choir, singing praises to our Lord! I am so humbled to be part of such a larger picture of the Body of Christ.
How are you investing the talent God has given you to care for?
