This past Sunday, as with any other times, I would make excuses why I shouldn't sing out, but just sing quietly. So, I made sure I sing out not too loud. At the end of the mass, one of our choir friends came up to me and said that she was glad that I was here at this mass. I put my head down, feeling a little didn't deserve that message because I held back in many areas. I replied and said, "Hmm.. yeah, but I didn't do a good job. I did only about 55% good." She waved her hand at me and said, "No, to me, you were 100% good! I'm so glad you're here." I looked at her with an appreciated smile and said a thank you. She smiled and continued, "You're a good leader." I smiled back and knotted my head with a thank you, appreciating her appreciation and comment. For the rest of the day, I reminded myself to give my 100% and so I did. This is my journey. I must not let any thoughts that would stand in my way to do my good deeds for the Lord in singing praise for Him and to Him.
