Please Pray For Me!

July 28, 2006 I went back to my surgeon *****moved my thyroid 11 days ago. He says my vocal chords have been traumatized and there is a chance I will never get my voice back to normal. I can talk but my voice sounds like a thirteen year old boys does when his voice is changing. So the doctor says the airway might have damaged my vocal chords permanently. For most people that might be OK, not a bad trade off for no cancer. But you see I have a call of God on my life to sing and praise him. I use to do it all the time. I have had some bumps in my life that, to make a long story short, have gotten me out of the Christian lifestyle. Out of church and fellowship with other Christians. It has been a long time since I sang for him. The call and the gift was still there and I have always known I would someday be back there in fellowship with HIM and leading others into a deeper understanding and relationship of praise and worship with HIM. Now it looks as though that gift might be stolen. I have prayed and promised God that if he delivers me from this attack of the enemy that I will go back to doing what he has called me to do . I will sing anywhere anytime no matter if I have just walked back into church in the last five minutes or been back there for twenty years. I will go back and ask to sing whereever I go. I will sing if I weigh 300 lbs or 112 lbs. I will sing if I'm scared or not. I will sing if I have the right clothes or not. I will sing if everyone else in the building is a singer and sings better than I do. I will sing if there are only two or three there that need to have a personal touch from the Lord. I will get busy going about the masters business. Just as soon as he lets me. I've wasted YEARS now, it's time. I need some people that know how to pray to set themselves in agreement with me that I will be able to sing again. If you want more of the story you can check out me profile. There are several posts there concerning the condition that led up to them removing the thyroid. Thanks to my Christian family and to my OH family for all the support you give.

Dear Linda, I will pray that God's will is done in your life, no matter how that looks. God is a God of miracles, and He can heal your vocal chords and restore your voice, if He deems that His will. However, I also believe that God can use you just as you are, because the gift of the Holy Spirit does not depend on the voice, but on the message and the messenger being in obedience to God's will. Moses was not an orator, but God used Him to go to Pharoah and to lead His people through the wilderness, YET, Moses did not enter the Promised Land. Joshua was the one that led the people across the Jordan after Moses died only being able to see the Promised Land prior to His death. Therefore, I am praying His will be done in your life and your body. Hugs, Trish

Thanks Patricia for praying for me! I know that God has called me to the ministry of singing and that is HIS will for me. So I'm sure that in His time I will be restored to health. God didn't call me to do something else or I could go along with that. I believe people can know what God wants from them and follow it . But praying His will be done is good because that is His will.
