This week has just been a fantastic week for me in choir and private voice lessons, so today I am especially thankful for music, and what a big part of my life it has been! I have always been in choir and band (at least since 5th grade, when our school starts those), and I have always had incredible opportunities because of that. I have learned so much through my high school and college's music programs, and I have even gotten to perform in some pretty amazing places (The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and the Disney stage in Orlando, to name a few!). Music has definitely boosted my confidence in so many ways as well, and challenged me to get out of my comfort zone. Three or four years ago, I never, ever would have done a solo in front of people. Now, I have performed solos in several solo competitions and I have even done solos in front of audiences of approximately 10,000 people. I now know how much I actually LOVE performing in front of people!!
Not only has music given me many amazing opportunities, it has given me the chance to really worship God! Before I came to know Christ personally, I really didn't appreciate music or singing. Now, however, I see that He gave me my talent for music for a reason! I love being able to use my voice to sing His praise and share that with others as well! So I am very thankful that I have a voice to use for that!
