One Voice

Yesterday began the first day of school. I signed up for 6 classes, 18 credits.... Goodbye social life.

More on this to come later.

But Mondays at school, we take a break from classes and have a chapel service. This looks different all the time, but most of the time we have an AMAZING song portion and a speaker. Sometimes we take trips to other churches, other religious places of worship... Sometimes we only have songs, sometimes we have guest speakers, sometimes students preach. It is a fantastic time.

Yesterday, I began to feel overwhelmed thinking about the load of classes I had signed myself up for. I began to think of the youth group stuff I had to do also, things for Sundays, possibly needing to find a job, etc. But as we began to sing, I heard something.

Everyone in the room with me was singing. We were all singing together. For an hour, life stopped, and we focused on God. With one voice, we surrendered our lives, our ministries, our hearts, our families, our school work, our everything to our Creator, and worshiped Him alone.

There is absolutely nothing like being in a place with people who love Jesus all singing as one voice.
