It’s Friday and you know what that means. It’s a Five Minute Friday post, inspired by none other than Lisa-Jo. Tonight, while we’re all sitting at Allume. The word prompt is given 2 hours earlier than usual. Tonight’s word. Randomly selected from a bag of suggestions? VOICE.
GO:
I was warned. I thought I was prepared. But as I walked in and saw all the moving Twitter, Facebook, Google and WordPress avatars I shrunk back. I panicked. I thought, is it really possible to have a voice in this sea of seasoned writers?
Tonight I’m sitting with some beautiful women at the Allume conference in PA. I’ve just met some of the women who’ve been my greatest encourages and supporters and I’d been feeling very overwhelmed.
Phil spoke. Sara Mae spoke. Then the Holy Spirit spoke. To me.
I have a voice. A voice that will speak the words HE gives me. Nothing more. Nothing less.
If I am up to the challenge, He promises to give me the words. If I lay down my need to be heard, if I lay down the need to pursue My dream ands pursue only His plan for me then my voice will be more powerful and relevant than anything I could try to say on my own.
Day 1 down and He’s already spoken.
May His voice always resound and mine never be heard.

Linking up with Lisa Jo tonight, both on this blog and in real life:)
Learning and Sharing as I journey to KNOW Him,
