Voice of Truth

So I don't really know what I'm going to write, but I really wanted to write a blog about the song Voice of Truth. Like so many other songs, it has been a theme song of mine for almost the last year. These are my three favorite verses:

Oh, what I would do
to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
with just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound
of a thousand warriors
shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out
my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
time and time again
"Boy you'll never win,
you'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

When I moved here, I really did feel like I was just a little person up against a "Giant". The sling was my faith and the stone was the Holy Spirit. I was so scared. I wasn't scared about making new friends. I knew I could do that. Other than acting, that is my one talent; making friends. There were two major things I was scared of. 1. Losing my faith. and 2. Losing my friends in Minnesota. I kept telling myself that I couldn't do it. I was convinced I was going to fail. I was so mad at God for making me move here, I was ready to turn my back on Him. I was ready to die. I wanted to die. I would have rather died than move to Papio. But He got my attention. Like He always does when I'm ready to do something stupid. He said "Do not be afraid, for this is for My glory."
I still struggle with the battle between listening to the Giant laughing at me, telling me that there is no use, that I should just give up and listening to the voice of Truth. But at least now, I kind of have just a glimpse of God's plan for me here. The puzzle pieces are starting to fit together. Just like they always do!
With God's love, the Holy Spirit in me, and Jesus by my side,

I will believe the voice of Truth.
