My Voice: First Instrument


It is written that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.


To speak a word is to create an existence that we cannot see yet is destined to be.


Speaking words into being using my voice, the first instrument Creating songs full of "it is so" words:

Do Re Mi:

Me using the first instrument to make melody and harmonize with the words from other voices

Words swaying in the minds of readers and listeners; dancing to the rhythm of their heart beats.

Speaking love into lives: DoRe Mi :

Me not speaking of the soft, gushy, mushy love sung in a falsetto found in popular tunes on urban radio shows. But the echoes of a baritone bass pounding long suffering, hard hitting, enduring, tough and you'll even be left standing kind of love.


Speaking forgiveness into lives: Do Re Mi:

Me not speaking in melchanoy first sopranos of "I'm sorry. It won't happen again..I'm so pitiful forgiveness".

Instead I project a crescendo of "in life we all make

mistakes,

it happens,

no one can erase it, let's learn from them and press forward"forgiveness."


Speaking healing into lives:Do Re Mi:

Me not speaking in ordinary alto tones of put on some "Vaseline or antibotic ointment and bandaid" kind of healing.

Instead let me ring shout "it will take time, the scab will come, it will shed the old layer and a new one will come" healing.


In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. And the Word was spoken with the first instrument: Speaking words into being.
