From one side of the microphone to the other
I did the "Lets Have Church", broadcast this morning on WWNR. It is different being on the other side of the microphone. When I prepare the broadcast, I type a semi script so that the person can follow it and cue up my songs and have them ready when I call for them.
The studio at WWNR is very different from the way I am used to . You are actually in the studio with the person running the control board. The is a clock in front of you and a cough switch, so if you have to cough or sneeze it mutes the sound. I can see the time myself and know how to pace my speaking. I always bring extra music, just in case. Murphy's laws states that if anything can go wrong it will and since we are doing spiritual warfare you always are on guard. I timed this at home, but when you are doing the broadcast you add in things as the Holy Spirit leads and you also forget things. I always acknowledge my dad and remember my mom, because from very early on they helped and encouraged me with my radio dream.
I knew God was preparing to move me from one side f the microphone to the other a few weeks before it happened. I was a guest on several shows and did some fill-in work. My pastor asked if I could do the church program on WWNR, since I had experience. When I asked if I could the powers that be said no and I abided by that decison. Since I was accepting a paycheck from them, I just said OK. When the job ended my pastor asked the person who was doing the scheduling to add me to the schedule.
The first broadcast I did after the whole thing at the other place, I was very nervous. It was like the first day on a new job. All of the feelings I had and the wounds were still raw. It was like pulling a scab off. I was hoping that it would open doors. Nothing happened, except everybody at church asked me why I was so nervous. When you are doing something that represents someone else, you want to do your best, and I was in the frame of mind, that my best wasn't good enough .
I was nervous this morning, because I am not sure what will take place, but it is different being in control of something and have someone else do it. I know it is the Lord that opens and closes doors, not people.
Pray for me, because I have been dealing with some anger issues. I didn't deserve the way I was treated at the old station. When I didn't react, some there proceeded to trash my name and out and out lie about things. I was praying about it and Jesus in His still small voice said they done the same thing to me. That's when you repent and shut up. I know that the Lord is ordering my steps . In the song "Order My Steps," a part of the song says "While You are working, help me be still, satan is busy, God is real. Order my steps in Your Word." That's my prayer.
