“Are you hiding your gift Miss?” one of my students asked me last friday! 

Truth comes from the mouth of babes (Psalm 8:2) but last Friday I was caught by surprise especially because it was coming from one of my own. I wanted to dodge the question so badly with many excuses but I could not because it revealed so much about the lies I was believing in my heart about this particular matter. I love to sing but for many years, I believed that I could not carry a note in a bucket to be honest. However, lately it seems that many people have been using their hammer to shatter this lie and destroy it. 

Right before the Pep Rally last Friday during my last period, I was teaching my Spanish 1 Honors class. As the habit goes, I was singing I don’t remember what and two of my students began to suggest that I join the liturgical choir for Mass at school. Frankly, I had thought about it and I had even talked to the teacher in charge but I had yet made the step to join for choir practice. So you can imagine when my students insisted that I join the choir, it was simply an affirmation for me to pursue what I was dragging my feet on. In spite of all I shared with them, they were convinced that I must join in backing up their claim with solid arguments so there was not even room for debate. Before I left, I made sure to email the music teacher to follow through. 

So my dear One, someone is waiting on you because your gift is important. What gift or talent have you not been sharing with the rest of the world?

Be bold! I am cheering you on and without a doubt, G01 is also cheering you. 

In the Eucahrist,
