Belief #DecemberWonderings

I sang this week. I allowed a multitude of people into a world where only a few had a pleasure of visiting. I felt exposed because I was sharing something that I didn’t usually share with that many people, only told them of.

And the reaction, well it went well (according to the comments I got back). What struck me most was how much I impacted others when I sung. I was surprised when people said they felt emotional, proud when they heard me sing. So many people told me that they believed in my 'talent' even when I myself still don’t believe. Ive always known that I don’t sing out of tune, but being 'good' is something that never really came to mind. Having people say that they think you are more than good is heart-warming but also scary. I feel that when someone believes in you, you can’t fail them. And to be honest I am scared of failing. Scared of falling... hard. I just pray that God will keep me on my feet.

This week has made me think, how is it that people can believe in you even when they themselves may not benefit? How is it that they believe without expecting anything back?
