He didn’t sing very often but when he did I wanted so desperately to be just like him. I tried to sing along with him but I was not even close to being as gifted as he was, so somewhere along the way I guess that I just stopped trying. I’m sure the fact that I was so shy that I really didn’t want anyone to hear me sing made it even easier to give up trying.
I grew up loving music but never pursued it myself because I was sure that I just didn’t have the gift that other people seemed to have. I was so envious of the people that I heard singing on the radio and I wished that I could sing like them. Unfortunately, I was so sure that I never could that I never really tried. I know that this sounds so pathetic but I’m embarrassed to admit that it is totally true. I was well into my 40s before I ever sang a single note loud enough for another person to hear.
When I reached my mid 40s I took an inventory of my life and realized that I had made a complete mess out of my life. I had not accomplished any of my childhood dreams and unfortunately I had not replaced them with new ones. I was allowing life to just happen to me instead of trying to make a life for myself. I started looking for the true meaning of life but I had no clue where to look. It was during my seeking that I remembered back to when I was very young and how happy I was when my dad and I would go to church and he would sing. I started going to church once in a while but things kept getting in the way from making a true commitment to going regularly. In spite of myself, God kept tugging on my heart and I finally learned the truth about having a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ and I have never looked back since. God has done a major overhaul of my life and I am happy to say that music is now a huge part of it.
I certainly never knew that God had placed a hidden treasure in me that I was supposed to find. I’m sure that I was supposed to have found it years ago, but I refuse to feel sorry for myself for the time lost and I try to concentrate only on the time left. If I do ever start to feel down I just ask myself "what if I had never found God’s gift?" Now that would be a true tragedy. God gave the gift of music, but music is nothing if it is not shared with people. I am using all of my energies to allow as many people as possible hear what I know in my heart came from God. God’s words put to music should never be kept a secret. They h
