So last week for a bit I was recovering my voice.
You probably would ask how in the world I lost my voice. Was it excess talking, yelling, me getting sick?
However when I first lost it, I felt just great and so basically I've told people that my voice just straight up and left me.
Well the lack of a voice has kept things quite interesting. While the only way to regain my voice meant not using it for periods of time. Therefore resorting to miming/charades which kept things oh so amusing.
I'm sure all of you have heard how you never know how much you need something until you lose it. Well the same goes for one's voice and well for me it stunk quite a bit. Granted I wasn't able to converse freely with people, it just limited most everyday actions revolving around talking (which we all do and happens all the time).
Now though unfortunate for myself, it proved hard for others when I was trying to tell people things. Some people were quite adept in interpreting my charading and reading my lips, while others were just completely awful it and a translator would've been most beneficial.
With my lack of speech it made me wonder why all of a sudden this would happen to me? What lesson am I supposed to glean from this experience? As one of my friends suggested perhaps God is trying to tell me something. So thinking about that I began to debate what I needed to get out of this situation. Thinking to myself I began to wonder am I becoming a person who just talks and talks and doesn't listen at all? I'd like to think that I have not but I can't really judge myself. But besides what I've come to take from this is that the Lord once again trying to enforce that He is in control and that He is always there. Just like in 1 Kings 19:11-12 when God appears to Elijah
Well think thats it for this post. Hopefully I get around to a better posting schedule soon :-)

11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.I felt that the Lord was reminding me of this and how easily distracted I become by my daily life. So once again a shift in my life is needed.
Well think thats it for this post. Hopefully I get around to a better posting schedule soon :-)
