As I write this, it's nearing midnight. Having recently lost my 16 1/2- year job, I don't have a set time to awake in the morning. So staying up late seems like the right thing to do, since I'm on a roll with this blogging stuff.
Yes, I have worked at a Christian radio station for over 16 years, and the church that owned us decided to sell us. I'm so disappointed for the loss of the service the station provided to the community. And, of course, I am so disappointed that I no longer can talk with all the listeners who have come to be my extended family.
I especially missed my job when I awoke the morning after my newest son-in-law became a Christian just recently! I wanted to shout it from the rooftops, and for so long I have had the radio airwaves for my joyous announcements! When grandbabies were born, folks at my husband's shop would know their names, length and weight before he even arrived at work, because I'd already announced it on Radio 91 as soon as my mic was opened!
We were all about good news and we were good at it! We talked candidly about the good news of Jesus and how that applied to our own lives. Our programs were loved by so many - young and old. And the music - boy do I miss it! The genre of Inspirational Christian music is and always will be my favorite!
God has encouraged me throughout this time of transition with a verse in the Old Testament. I learned it while studying with Child Evangelism Fellowship back in my college days. Isaiah 26:3 - "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee." (I memorized it in King James, so that's the only way I can say it now.) Each time I've started to fret, he's reminded me that He always made good on His promises in the past, and He's not about to stop now! You can rest in that truth as well! It's for all of us!
