make a joyful noise!

Singing. You know, I've been singing since I was probably around 5. In church, in the beginners' sunday school! I'm sure it must have been quite cute, judging from the little kids we have in church singing today. it's been almost 20 years. What do I sing for, why do I sing?

An old hymn goes: I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free, for His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

Yesterday we were asked if we were living our lives as we are called to, not just called in a lofty sense of becoming a pastor or anything. But the fact that we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. Different people, same calling, resulting in us living all for a purpose. That God is guiding us to and through. Back to the question now, I sing because God has invited me to, and He's given me joy to do so for Him.

I don't like being in the limelight, I fear many eyes on me. I'm afraid of what will they think, what will they say. I really don't like it. But I've been on stage for 20 years now, singing for God. And funnily enough, I don't notice it. I love singing for Him. I never feel the same joy and same ease, singing for anything else (which I enjoy too, mostly in my own room, to myself. haha.). So, I want to live out the call. I will sing and make a joyful noise to my Lord and God, till the day I can't anymore.

Btdubs, friends who recognise the singing bunny, don't tell others where he's from. haha.
