Church choir starts again today. As much as I enjoy singing in our choir and singing with worship as the times arise, I also enjoy the time away from this. Kathy and I get to drive to church together. These little things were no big deal in younger years, but they become little treasures as the years continue.

I had a very vivid dream last night where I was to sing a solo which in the middle of doing it, a beautifully voiced soprano in the crowd stood and sang with me at the ending of the song. (This wasn’t something planned). As we finished the crowd cheered her and I sat down ashamed. As I awoke from the dream I knew it was triggered by my anxious heart. Our quartet is singing for our Celebrate Recovery this coming Thursday as I’ve written earlier about. Satan is wanting to have a hayday with me regarding this. Somehow I know God is preparing my heart to know fully this is all about His Grace–and I do know this. I have struggled for so long thinking God could never be seen in my life if the audience knew my story. Well, this group knows my story best. Processing all of this with Jesus helps me see my need to turn my anxious heart into a believing heart. The songs we are singing are ones which give great hope and promise of God’s Love and Grace regardless of our past and/or present. I want people to find the freedom God has given me. Writing all of this makes it very clear why Satan is attacking.

Jesus is the VICTOR!
