In a course about the physics of music I learned about each individual's unique voiceprint. Even the best impersonators cannot fool science. The lesson reminded me of an occurence (a God-vision?) which happened many years before.
It was late at night and I couldn't sleep for the sheer joy of my blessings. I was beside the greatest husband ever. My amazing toddler was asleep in the adjoining room. A precious about-to-be-born child wriggled within me. I was silently singing worship songs and telling God of my thankfulness and joy.
Suddenly, my body rose from the bed, went up into heaven and - plop! I was standing on a circular riser in a spot which I knew had been designated just for me. The risers went up as far as I could see and went down to a bright light. All around me were various creatures, angels and people praising God together. I couldn't understand what they were singing, but the song I was singing fit right in.
Overwhelmed by the sights and sounds, my singing wavered. Until, in the midst of the bright light, God turned his head to the right and said,
"Do you hear that voice? That's my daughter, Leah. Isn't she beautiful?"
I couldn't believe it! He noticed when my voice joined the throng!
I threw my shoulders back and lifted my head! I sang as loud and strong as I could! My God was paying attention to my voice!
I love this life!!!
