@woogie You are right we all are not gifted the same way gut you are before the Lord and He matters in your life . Maybe you can do something else good that you enjoy ,danceing or humming a beautiful song that makes you happy thats all that is needed . Don't put yourself down because you cant do things others can just enjoy them be happy to see them .

I understand what you are saying. In middle school, I was asked by the choir director to just "mouth the words" and not try to sing. It was a good option. I could still be in the choir and wear the robe, but just not use my voice. We all have different gifts as @lioness said.

@woogie,you most likely have other talents if you look for them. I certainly can relate to your first sentence. I can do none of those things as well. I cannot sing, but do so when I am alone or in the shower. Your "noise " is always joyful to the Lord. No, we are not all gifted in the same way. Just look for your strengths. Best wishes, @joybringer1

Oh, @woogie, you make me laugh because I can relate! I managed to stay in the church and school choirs but more for the body count than voice quality! Have said for yrs that maybe in the "next life" I'll be given voice quality and painting skills. Pretty sure I was chosen cheerleader in a younger life not for ability but because I had a voice that "carried". Smiles

And while it is very true that we are not all created equally in "making a joyful noise" vbg, we each have contributions and gifts that can bring some happiness to others and you just proved that with your humorous post! Thx for my first smile of the day!
