Things that make you go Huh???
In a recent post I said that God had sent me a message saying "Did I want to settle for bronze or did I want to wait for the gold?" I said I wanted to wait for the gold. I still want to wait for the gold. Waiting is hard work. Lately there is not a day that goes by where I don't run into someone who asks me if am I still in radio. Some of them think I retired, I had been at the job long enough to retire, but I wasn't old enough to retire.
You get questions like this "How is retirement?" or "I miss you on radio, why doesn't another station hire you" or they want to tell me all of what is going on where I used to work. It is like people have to just talk. I usually cut the conversation short by saying "That it was part of God's plan and I went back to school." Most people are shocked that I would even consider doing something else. I look at it like this, I am not going to stand at a door and beat my fists bloody until someone hires me. I don't want to rekindle "Joy in the Morning" The only program I would even consider rekindling is "Saturday Night Praise" which was a time of the black gospel music. I am looking into a way of doing that over the internet. Not because of ego, there is a need for it. Believe you me, I have tried to let go, but I can't, neither can I afford to use the traditional means of buying air time on one of the stations. Sharon had said a long time ago, right after the situation took place at WJLS to see about doing something with the internet. Well, I am checking into that, but there is some equipment I have to buy. That was one of the main reasons why I wanted to work, to buy the things I needed so I could broadcast on the internet. It is hard when God has you in a holding pattern. All you can do is wait on Him.
I was reading an article in which Della Reese was talking about her life now and she is 81. She said she is in a good place in life now. She sleeps late if she wants and she see only the people she wants to see and takes it easy and enjoys life. I thought for a minute. I am at a good place in life, I sleep late some days and I do only the stuff I want to do. I have schoolwork and class deadlines which I take seriously, but I don't let it stress me out. I like not having to worry about who is in a bad mood and if the boss is happy or you are just handy for him to blow up at because you said or did something that he didn't agree with.
The things that make me go huh, are those people who just keep talking about me and the radio station. I was smart enough to know that I was not indispensible. People could and would do without me. Since they are doing without me, let's just move on and see what else God has in store for me. As in the story of Joseph, in Genesis, God had an awesome plan for him. It didn't happen right away, it took a while. Just pray for God's plan in my life and that I will recognize it when it comes.
