There are so many ways I can try to express why my relationship with Christ is important. I think one of the best illustrations from my youth is this. My first Christmas I was barely a year old at that time. I don’t know what it was I was 11 months old, but something about the tree must have looked interesting. I got a piece of the tree in my mouth and had troubles for a couple of days.
The hospital couldn’t do anything, they said I would have to throw it up on my own. Christmas Day I think it was I finally threw it up. Knowing the little I do, medically speaking, I have wondered, how did that not tear up my throat, vocal cords or my esophagus. The piece of tree I swallowed was a chunk. If anything had happened differently would I have been able to sing? Music is so much a part of me and singing, humming I can’t imagine not being able to do that. Did God step in some way to allow me to have this slice of my musical life?
There have been many comments that I have received over the years. From friends, family and fellow church members. It is truly humbling when some friends have actually mentioned the word ‘Angel’ I don’t feel I can fill that very word. However, could that be the reason my voice wasn’t hurt as that 11 month old? God gives us each a unique purpose sometimes many if He deems us capable of doing so for Him. I am not perfect, but I put my all into the purposes He has given me. Showing Christ through what He has done for me is my purpose and why spirituality is important.
