I just wanted to share some thoughts with you.
As some of you may be aware, my days have become extremely difficult again. It is difficult each morning to get up and face each day. I have learned to adjust to the conditions I have to face. Many of these issues have taught me more about myself, and the fine-tuning that God is doing in my own life. When my struggles become great, I ask God, what are you needing me to learn through this trial. Reveal your purpose to me so that I might become a better servant for Your Kingdom.
As you also know, I am faced with a difficult road ahead. The thought that continues to go through my head is, if I lose the ability to speak and eat, what do I want to accomplish before that day. The thought is not about food, although I am more grateful for what He provides for me each day, but it is more about my spoken words. How will I use the ability to speak face to face, with everyone I encounter each day. What will I say. Will my words be harsh, or gentle and kind? Will they build them up, or tear them down. Will they be words of truth, or for personal gain. Will they be words of value? Will they be words that will glorify God.

When I sing, will it be songs that fill my heart with hope and faith?
Singing was something I am not necessarily good at, but it truly lifts my heart and adds beauty and solace to my walk with God. I mourn the thought of losing the ability to sing about our Lord. I have come to realize, that while I may be "tone deaf" that even without a tongue to form the words, they are still formed in my head. And while I may not have the ability to speak, my ability to make a noise with my voice is still there.
I know that I will walk this path without the assistance of any of you. You can't take this walk for me. But know that I am not alone. And while some days are difficult, I do know that He is there. One day, I will stand face-to-face before the maker of heaven and earth, and my voice will be clear, concise, and in pitch.
So today, I choose my words carefully, and try to make all choices, ones that glorify Him.
Matthew 22:37. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.
It is only by loving Him entirely, that we can gain "all the blessings" that walking with Him will bring. Even when you face great difficulty.
