Voice

I See Fire - Cora Geiken

My daughter Cora has the most amazing voice!

I know, I'm her Mom, and I'm supposed to think she's awesome (and I do, and she IS!), but really, that girl can sing!

I can't sing.

Seriously, I'm terrible.

I'm so bad, that in High School, my drama club director used to have me be one of the first kids to do the vocal audition for the Spring Musical.  Once everyone heard how horrible I was, they weren't afraid to try out anymore.  I always got a part in the chorus.  I can dance, and as long as I sang quietly it all worked out.

I love to sing. I sing loudly in the car when no one is with me.  I sing in Church when I can follow Cora's voice (she dumbs it down so I can follow her).

My voice is not in my singing.  It appears in other ways.  Sometimes in writing, sometimes in listening, sometimes in speaking, sometimes in touching.

My voice is my own.


P.S. I apologize to those of you who are reading both my blog and Deane's.  I have a feeling there's gonna be a lot of overlap on this Lenten Challenge.  I guess it's a testament to how close we are.  I promise, we're not doing it on purpose!
