THIS FORMER AMERICAN IDOL captivated the hearts of America with her winning smile, powerhouse vocals, and strong testimony of her faith. Her name: Mandisa!
In this music video, “Voice of a Savior,” she sings,
You and I are not that different.
We gotta void, we’re just tryin’ to fill it up.
Something that will give just a little peace.
All we want is a hand to reach to,
Open arms that say “I love you.”
Her words soothed my end-of-the-summer nerves screaming: get the school supplies start a new at-home business because we need money pray pray pray go to church sing sing sing write a blog post switch sub servers for my e-newsletter work work work pray pray pray do the laundry clean up the cat vomit wash the floor grocery shop pay the bills.
Bang my head on the keyboard.
Dream of Tahiti.
When did I breathe?
I didn’t. Then Mandisa reminded me to listen to. . .
a voice of a Savior and I stopped my frenetic crazies. Will you listen too?
This post spoke for so many of us, Lucy! I can definitely relate to the cat vomit (although I’ve taken a stand in my house about the actual OWNER of the cat being the one to clean up – no me!). Thanks for your words.
Wow! What a beautiful reminder that He is all we need!
