I feel it’s only appropriate to post a blog about the song of my heart
while watching High School Musical with some fellow apprentices.
I’ve heard it said time and time again that
names are prophetic and can really tell a lot about a person.
My name is Daina-Lithuanian for song.
I find it ironic that my name means song,
given the season I’m currently in.
One of my first weeks down here, I had the privilege of attending a
prophetic conference held here at AIM called Stirred. That Saturday afternoon, I found myself
in an incredible breakout session led by Jonathan David Helser and his wife
Melissa. Throughout this session
we were each encouraged to find our voice, the song contained deep within our
soul.
I’ve recently found myself thinking about
that moment-that moment of freedom in just being myself. You see, for me, it wasn’t simply
finding some melody or singing some note; it was finding something even deeper.
I’ve been working in Admissions for over a
month now. I’ve sent emails and made
phone calls, answered questions and posted blogs. To some, the work I do may seem trivial, maybe even
pointless. But the reality is, this
is the song of my heart. The
song of my heart is to make a difference, to help mobilize a generation to
start living for more.
There’s a certain satisfaction that comes in
holding an orphan or hearing someone’s story for the first time. Moments like these never leave you
questioning the difference you’re making in this world, even if it’s just one
person. When I leave work each
day, I am blessed to leave with that same satisfaction. I leave knowing the work I do
makes a difference.
As Christmas draws near and this year comes
to an end, I challenge you to ask yourself, “What is the song of my heart?“
May the Lord bless you with greater
revelation and deeper satisfaction as you begin to discover the beauty that is
the song of your heart.
