Finding Your Voice

Singing has been a pass time, therapy, worship, amusement, creativity, joy, passion and a creative way to annoy my children!


With all these expression of my voice I discovered that I have an unusual voice print that took me years to own as my gift from God. Every time I sang, somebody was always trying to compare me to another individual of fit me in a particular genre of music.

It took years to grow in confidence to realize that the voice print, depth and resonance in my voice came from the trials, victories, disappointment and pain that I have had to overcome.

In discovering who I am, I discovered I like the pitch, range and depth that my voice carried.

I would write parodies to the songs that were on the radio, be it Christian, Jazz, Broadway or Country. It didn't matter; I would put my own spin on things. This began to spill over when I did worship, or sang hymns in Church. I would sing out of my spirit, and the words would come. People were uplifted, few tried to correct me and let me know in a serious and sometimes harsh tone “That is not the words to that song." My response grew to be “This is my story; this is my song." to some of you that are new to the faith, this is just words, but that is the title to an old school song. My dad use to sing this song almost every day as he was working, or just humming a little tune.

You can discover the power of your voice by, singing, late into the night, driving in your car, walking around the mall or grocery store. 'How?' you ask! By releasing the sound that is trapped within, no one hears the uniqueness of you. The Father, of all living things gave you the voice print that you have, that no one can duplicate it. Only your voice carries the pain, heartache and disappointment that gives depth to the harmony and melody that is in your heart.

Make a joyful noise sometime today and find you voice!

I wait to hear the testimony of the breakthrough that you have discovered and Now I have Found My Voice!
