A New Song...

It's been 9 months since my surgery & finding out that I had....HAD.....cancer. Hard to believe, but thankful for God's healing hand.
In that time I have not been able to sing........at least not in church with the praise team. I have struggled with my voice, getting hoarse & even losing it from time to time. I was told by my doctor that it could take up to a year for it to feel "normal" again.
Well, last night, for the 1st time since last November, I gave it a try again. I sang with the praise team at practice. WOW - what an awesome feeling! The music & words in the songs spoke so clearly in my heart. But by the end of the night, I was pretty hoarse again. I drank plenty of water through the night & did NOT strain my voice to try & reach notes that I knew were too high.
I just want to praise God for all that He has given me. He is the ultimate healer and I know that He has walked along side of me through this journey.

Hi Patti! It's my first time in your blog and was surprised you HAD cancer. That's huge and good to hear it was a "HAD" and glad you're able to sing again. God heals all wounds. I totally agree with you. God Bless! :)
