New Beginnings

    There was a song that says, "There is always something there to remind me". It is true. This past week I have had all kinds of reminders thrown at me concerning what I used to do.  Yes, I would have to be truthful in the fact that I miss being on radio. The little part that I do isn't enough,, but I will take it. I would like to have a bigger part in things, but no one will let me, so I figured that that door was closed for now.  It is amazing though when you had been doing something for as long as I had done radio, two things happen. The first thing is, people won't let you move on to something else. If God has moved you, why can't they accept it and stop trying to  tell you what is going on. I don't care. Just because you are stuck, don't fence me in. God was in charge, I am not doing that anymore. Secondly, when you do try to do something especially with the contact you made, no one will let you. It is as if you never existed. I have experience that...

     The next few years went very quickly. New staff was added to both stations and new equipment as well. The new equipment was designed to make the job easier. Change is not easy. Theresa found that out with the introduction of the DCS (Digital Commercial System).  Management went to several other radio stations to see how it worked. It was the latest thing in broadcasting, you could put the commercials on computer and some music on computer. This would save space in the control room as well as time dubbing in music and commercials. You could put multiple commercials under one number, all you needed to do was date the information according to when you were going to use it. This was handy for clients like McDonalds who advertised a variety of items and specials.      When the DCS was installed Theresa was on vacation and it wasn't for the AM side. The AM side was to keep using the carts and dubbing in music the way they always did, so...

I finally recieved my evangelist's licence last night. It is such an awesome thing. It didn't really hit me until I saw that paper that said I was a licenced evangelist.  I have a responsibility which makes me feel torn at times. Sometimes I wish I could go back to those days where I could care less if I was Christlike or not, where I didn't feel compelled to get to church and participate. Those days when I wasn't accountable to anyone but me. Of course I have always been accountable to God, but when you are doing your own thing you feel like you just answer to yourself.      What an honor and a priviledge it is to be one of God's chosen. To be called to do His work is awesome. I still can't figure out why He wants to use me.  The world sees me as a libility. I can't drive anywhere. I don't see very well.  I am not sure If I will ever work again, although if God opened the right  door I would be happy to walk through it. ...

It's been a while since I posted anything here. I was busy with school and passing final exams, dealing with graduation and my father-in-law's visit.  All of these things were such a blessing in my life. I appreciate all of the well wishes I received and all of the encouragement. In fact at times I have been moved to tears.  Which is saying a lot, because there was a time I couldn't cry in front of anyone. It was looked upon, especially in the business world as a sign of weakness. The only problem with that was that it made me to appear cold and aloof. As women we accepted this as the way we should act. I find that as I get older that life is to celebrated with emotion, good and bad. Crying is not a sign of weakness.  Once my mom showed me an article in Decision magazene that said that Jesus wept, so can you.   I have said all of this to let you in on a few things that I have experienced lately since the graduation. The $64,000 question is... whats next? Some...
