hearing voices...

this sunday seemed to be like any usual sunday. I would do my dad's powerpoint in the morning, check the dancers' outfit and make up for the day, and take charge of the slide show for the songs to be sung during praise and worship.

as the people were singing and my mind was somehow drifting off somewhere, i started to hear a very beautiful voice singing. she was doing a second voice on a very high-pitched melody that made the song even more beautiful to my ears.

I tried to look for the person singing. As I hear it, it came from my right side, which happens to be the stage and the speakers whose sounds all heads toward me. I looked at the back-up singers, Jhing, Ate Rona and Ate Beth. Knowing them, not one of them could sing such high pitch melody. However, Jhing was trained to do second voice but she wasn't singing at that time.

Should this sound scary, I think not. In the first place, I was in church.

I tried shrudding off the idea, thinking that this might only be a product of my imagination. But the voice gets louder. As the instruments were getting louder and the singers already worshipping in tongues, I could hear the same voice louder, singing again in higher octaves, the song sounding as if in tribal tongues doing a second voice.

This was not the first time I heard voices in church. A few weeks ago, I was hearing a voice of child singing the same song, full of happiness.

That same afternoon, getting quite excited of the idea, I was once more in church for the youth services. We were singing worship songs. I felt like my right ear suddenly stopped hearing the sounds I hear from my left ear. If I were to hear the same sounds, it's as if everything that comes in my right ear was only in the background music and for a few seconds, I once more heard the same voice I heard that morning.

I may be right, I may be wrong. But it didn't matter really because I knew the situation felt different and I knew God was coming closer to me than He had been before.

I may be quite sure of this, but I think I just heard angels singing.
