She used to hate her voice and wanted to be like others. But she finally realized she couldn’t do what she was doing with a sweet, timid voice.
comparing yourself with other people is
just so totally completely useless it’s
just it’s unbelievably useless you know
how many years did I not like my
personality because it was so aggressive
and bold and straightforward and I
couldn’t seem like I could open my mouth
without sounding like I was barking at
somebody and I wanted to be so sweet
nice and I would try to lower my voice
and sound meek and even have a more
humble walk I’m not exaggerating but now
I finally get it could you imagine me
trying to do what I’m doing
could you imagine me trying to do what
I’m doing or going into some of these
nations that I go into that are full of
devil worshippers and people who men who
hate women to start with going in there
and see why I’m just so happy to be here
in your country praise the Lord I just
want you to know and I hated my voice
and I understand now why God gave me my
voice if nothing else people listen
because it’s unique how many times do I
hear when I’m not I didn’t recognize you
but I heard that voice I love always I
always say I’m a mouthpiece and the
kingdom of God I may not have much else
going for me but I can talk and you’ve
heard all my stories I mean I’ve had
some of the dumbest stupidest stuff
happen concerning my voice called the
spa to make an appointment to get a
facial and the lady on the other end
said do you have any facial hair
[Applause]
Wow
[Music]
I didn’t get it I wasn’t you I’m liking
myself you know I’m fearful and
wonderfully made I’m okay and so
honestly I thought yeah I got eyebrows
and eyelashes that’s what I thought and
I said trusted wait yeah I got eyebrows
and eyelashes and she said no I mean do
you have a beard or a goatee and I said
I am a woman I am a woman with a deep
voice and I tell you what I have had so
many laughs about that I think it is the
funniest thing and you know why there
would have been a day when that would
have put me in the bathroom floor for
three days Logano says that was it the
road what you gave out boys I don’t know
what’s the matter with you God why do I
have to be a woman inside like this is
just so embarrassing god it’s so
embarrassing I think it’s hysterical
come on you are gonna be amazed how
things are going to change for you the
torment you’re gonna lose when you
finally say I am fearfully and
wonderfully made I am NOT an accident I
am NOT a mistake
God has got something for me to do
matter of fact God has got something for
you to do that only you can do so get
over yourself
[Applause]
