Hi, Renee! THANK YOU FOR PRAYING. I know you are one of the many out there who pray for me.

I just couldn't believe it! Vocal fold polyps don't just go away. The "S.O.P." according to throat specialist is to have it removed by surgery. My aunt and grandma recommended that I buy a certain kind of juice (which costs about $60, very expensive for me! $60 is the same cost for a laryngoscopy). So I preferred to buy it, although that keeps me "poor". I believe God used it in some way to help the recovery of my voice without surgery.

Last night, I sang again for the first time with our Bible during our Missions Night! I sang:

God wants to hear you sing, when the waves are crashing round you, when the fiery darts surround you, and despair is all you see. God wants to hear your voice when the wisest man has spoken and says your circumstance is as hopeless as can be; that's when God wants to hear you sing.

I still take a lot of voice rest periods and avoid loud talking. I can't use my voice as much as I wanted to, as was before. I know I still got the polyp inside my throat. But whether it's still there is is gradually going away, it doesn't matter anymore. The Lord has heard all your prayers. My voice is coming back - God wants me to PREACH, TEACH, and SING!
