“I have a task for you to do. I have things to say and I have chosen you to be my instrument, my voice, my whisperer,” said the Great Whisperer.
The small one replied, “But I am not good at whispering. And, people cannot hear whispers clearly anyway. Surely your message deserves a shout!”
“I have shouters. I have singers. I have artists. I have builders. I have planters. I have sewers. I have reapers. They all have their place. But you, you are to be my whisperer.”
The small voice grew louder in response. “But I can shout! I am small and I have learned to shout. I can speak your wonders from the mountaintop. Being heard is my specialty. It is a skill I have cultivated for many years. Surely it can be of some use to you. It would be a shame to let my experience go to waste.”
“You are to be a whisperer,” the Great One said patiently.
“But they will not hear me . . . ” she said, her voice now quivering.
“They don’t always hear me, dear one.”
Her tears now flowed, “But I don’t know how to whisper. And if I do learn how, what will I say?”
“I am the Great Whisperer. I will tell you.”
“But Your voice is hard for me to hear.”
“Then you must listen closely, little one.”
The She Speaks Conference is an event for women teachers, writers, and ministry leaders to find their voice, learn to communicate their message, and be encouraged by others who have gone before. It is a unique opportunity to learn more about the special gift of women’s ministry. I am just starting on a journey that has been a long time coming. God has been whispering and I have been nervously moving in His direction. He has called me to write.
Today’s post is my application for a scholarship to She Speaks. This conference will be my first opportunity to talk to others who have found their voice, to learn from their experiences, and to begin to communicate the ideas that have been placed in my head and on my heart.
Sincere thanks to Lysa TerKeurst and her ministry team for all that you do. May God continue to bless the work He has started.
