I celebrated my birthday last Monday. I give praise to God for an amazing journey. I have experienced his love, peace, joy, mercy and grace through the years… and many more of his blessings. Here is one blessing that I am so thankful for and that I almost missed.
-------------------------------
Last time I told you about my Uncle Rudolph whose voice touched my young heart and how I lost him at age 6.
Fast forward 19 years. I was now living in NY. Our church was holding a Prayer/Bible Study in someone’s basement and I was bored. Don’t judge me. I was at a place where I questioned my beliefs, my faith, and my future. I wanted desperately to go back to the excitement of my faith.
And then I heard a voice behind me… it was low, vibrant, mellow… sounding much like Uncle Rudolph. My whole being wanted to turn and look, but I had to act cool. I got my chance during the prayer time. I stole a look. It was the brother of a friend of ours who had just come down from Boston. We had met that previous Sunday and I was not impressed. But now I was conflicted, how could a voice like that come from someone who was so not cool? A piece of my heart that died with my uncle was slowly coming back to life. Again my life changed as a new era started.
Fast forward again: Alphonse (the singer) and I just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary in September 2009. And he still sings to me!
