Sing along, don’t sing alone!

March 8, pass 10pm.

I took a much needed rest on the sofa, putting the headphone on my ears and just feel like enjoying to hear the praise and worship songs on my phone. After it plays a few lines, I caught myself singing along. I enjoyed the music, the lyrics, the beat… The moment swept me off my feet. I couldn’t help but be moved. My heart felt the passion over the songs of praise.

Moments after, I somehow got conscious. Am I singing too loud? How’s my voice? And so, I removed one of the earphones and continued on singing praise for my Lord.

After some time, I felt like wanting to hear myself sing, just me on acapella. Ha! There I found myself greatly discouraged. I heard my offbeat voice, and it’s just not pleasing to my ears. Almost immediately, I wondered if my neighbors heard me singing. Am I singing too loud? It is so embarrassing. It took me a while to recover.

What’s my Jordan River?

Joshua, son of  nun, and the Israelites are commanded by the Lord to cross the Jordan River.

(8)Tell the priests who carry the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the Jordan’s waters, go and stand in the river.”…

(15)Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, (16) the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea ) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho. (17) The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.
