I share this story at each Sharathon because it is important to share how God moves in our lives.
Back in 1991/992 in Jacksonville, Florida, my kids were young and I was a single mother. I began listening to the Christian radio station 88.1 The Promise. They were holding their Share-A-thon and I was lead to stop in, with my kdis on my hips, and tell them how they have blessed me. I was so moved at the warmth and friendliness of that radio station. I couldn't give at the time, a caller called in and made a one time pledge under my name. I was very grateful that day for someone giving a donation The Promise so God could share his love with me.
Now, eleven or twelve years later, I am working in a Christian radio station. God knew that day that I would be here working at HOPE FM today. It is because of listeners like yourself that donate that allow others the opportunity to praise God daily, worship Him through songs, and learn from him through the programs.
God is so good isn't he? What has God done for you lately? What has he done for you this past year?
He gave me a job that I absolutely love, he puts food on my table daily, and he allows me the opportunity to be a missionary in my own backyard. He keeps me safe, he gave me new friends, rekindled friendships with old friends, came and took my dad home to praise Him, these are just a few. So how about you? what has He done for you lately?
What are you listening to good or bad song lyrics? What type of programs are you listening to? Dog's gone, lost your house, spouse is cheating on you? The WORD says:
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Proverbs 18:21
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2
"For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was." James 1:23-24
So, what are you plugged into? I encourage you to plug into what is good, acceptable, and perfect will of God for your life. How about starting with what you listen to? If you need a place start here and listen online http://www.whif.org/.
It will be worth it, I promise.
