I just love to sing.

But I only sing at our church's music ministry.

I admit, sometimes I get inggit when my classmates get a chance to perform on stage at school. There's that longing, but I don't want to try. I'm too intimidated to do so. My classmates are much more of a pro when it comes to it... I might just fail myself.

One time when there was a program at school and my classmates again performed. As usual, I asked myself why can't I go there and sing for everyone? So that people would see that I have a talent also. I got sad actually. Then I felt God speak to me His message.

Then I realized... that God gave me this talent to use it for His glory. He spoke to me and asked me why do I focus on letting people recognize me for my talents? Why do I long to please them? Didn't He give this voice to me so that I could sing to Him and minister through Him?

It was through that moment that I made a vow upon the Lord. I just won't mention it here. God knows it already. :)

And last week, they were calling for auditions for the school chorale. My classmate went and some of my friends told me to go too. Though the longing is still there, I said NO. I want to stand firm to my vow with God. I pray that in the right time He will honor my faith through this decision of mine. It is hard and sometimes painful, but I can do it with His grace guiding me.
