The time has arrived. We will soon change into our "choir clothes" and celebrate the birth of the Messiah! As we stand on the risers, hold microphones and lift our voices to Him, I realize what an incredible responsibility and opportunity God has placed before us.
Honestly, I am amazed and grateful that the LCC family allowed me to be a part of this journey. I am an ordinary gal...with an ordinary life...an ordinary voice...and an ordinary passion for music. Yet somehow, these precious people made a way for ordinary me to join in praise to an extraordinary God!
When my feet carry me up those steps and onto the risers, I will surrender my ordinary abilities to Him! Thankfully, He is fully aware of my limits and my faults. But He still has a purpose for my life. Obviously, I will totally depend on Him for every breath, heartbeat and word delivered.
Isn't that how life unfolds? God gives each of us talents and abilities, which vary greatly. Some are in the spotlight. Some are in the shadows. Some are acknowledged. Others are quietly noticed by Him. By His wonderful design, they blend together to bring honor, glory and praise to the King of Kings, the Great I Am, our Father.
The time had arrived. The young couple prepared to parent the Son of God. Their response to God's plan brought opportunity for the precious Baby to become our Saviour. He was first wrapped in swaddling cloths. He later bore the sins of this world. He was then wrapped in grave cloths but soon left them behind. Because He arose, He gives ordinary people like me an extraordinary way to spend eternity with Him. I am quite amazed and very grateful. Through Him, my ordinary life has purpose. By His design, I pray each breath, heartbeat and word I share...will bring honor, glory and praise to my Audience of One. May I reflect Him...above all.<3~thl
