First of all, one of my favorite ...You are amazing! First of all, one of my favorite songs of all time!!! second, this seems to happen on my worship team also and I don't quite understand it. People think certain songs belong to certain people. Kinda weird.<br />And lastly, a couple years ago I had nodules on my vocal chords and was put on indefinite voice rest {NO SINGING} or I would possible have to have surgery which could altar my voice permanently. I cried and cried and didn't sing for 4 months. IT was so hard but God used it to bring me closer to Him and to show me that everything comes from Him. I shouldn't take any of my talents and treasures for granted. He is good, all the time! xoxoJamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983047509423347037noreply@blogger.com
