This is Me: Finding My Voice

Hi God,

Today’s song was the voice of God. Whew, thank you Lord that I have the privilege of hearing your voice anywhere. That I don’t have to always go to an altar to feel your presence.

Because you do. You live in me through the Holy Spirit.

Today was odd. Not in a bad way, just neutral. I had a substitute teaching opportunity this morning and my plan was to do my fast from 7am to 6pm and eat beforehand. Well, jokes on me because I woke up late and barely had any time to get ready before catching my train. So I guess I honored the 6-6 (actually more like a 6-7 but will get there later). And then guess what? The train was delayed…for 30 minutes. I had to take another train and uber to get there on time.

While I was there, I wasn’t even subbing. I was just proctoring which meant signing kids in when they went to the bathroom and watching them take their standardized test. Without a phone. For 9 hours. It was excruciatingly boring.

But the good thing is, I got closer to you. I read a great book about the prodigal son’s brother (The Faithful Ones: Lessons for the Prodigal’s Older Brother, you should check it out). The book reminded me about how God’s favor and grace is an infinite well and how I should not be jealous when other people receive things I desire because God loves me and God has favored me everyday even if I don’t consider those favor (example Cain got to live a long life, something Abel never did). It also encouraged me to be my brother’s keeper as Jesus is the ultimate keeper.

So yea. Ended working at 5. I was trying to get something to eat for 6 before prayer meeting. The buses were being slow so I ended up getting to the restaurant at 645 and ate at 7.

Prayer team was good. It was interesting- the song being Voice of God because I heard it through other people’s dream, tv shows, and your word. But it was still loud.

After that I had a really good chat with a friend and actually ended really late (hence why the late post)

Something I noticed is that there was a radio today of your songs speaking to me in my head. And although I wasn’t in the bible explicitly, you were still speaking through books and others. I’m glad you don’t have one medium that we’re limited to hearing your voice.

Thanks God!

I don’t have much else to say. I’m going to sleep.

Gn!
