I’m not going to sugar coat it, but Family Life has been a wonderful group that has helped me through my struggles in life for the last year. Before I talk about that, I need to go back to 1993. I was three weeks old at the time, and every night when I was put into bed, my nose would bleed, and when I woke up, I would be laying in a pile of blood soaked sheets. At this time, I was diagnosed with Severe Hemophilia A. Mom said it was a miracle that I was lived after bleeding profusely as a young child. She thanks God daily for keeping her baby boy alive. Moving forward to 2018, I had left the house to live with my ex, someone who i had thought was the one, but God had other plans. For the entire year I was subjected to a relationship of harassment and abuse. By then, I found another girl who I thought also wanted a relationship that cared about me, and wants to have a relationship with God, but it turned out it was all fake. During this time, I got in trouble with local police over something I did (it was about a year since I last went to Church so I was completely turned away from God at this point) I prayed to God that he would help me get through this, and I shared my prayer request with Family Life only recently. The legal battle recently ended with me getting charged lesser, and not receiving jail time, and I thought to myself. “How can I come back to God after all this?” and a song was released by Matthew West called A God who stays. I was a lost cause, and not worth God’s time or effort, but God works differently than that. And nothing i’ve ever done could separate my heart from the God who stays. I now look to renew my relationship with God, and my hope is to be able to bring myself to be a first time donator to Spring Share-athon this year.

This morning I was feeling overwhelmed with the virus fear. My cleaning was not enough, I was exposing myself to others’ germs, my whole family could be wiped out like in New Jersey. Not the first time I felt that what I was doing was not good enough; my work always seems to be just a hair above the line at which I would be tossed out on my ear, humiliated with my lack. Then Lauren Daigle’s song, “You Say” came on, and it was God talking to me. I am His, held and loved, today, right now…Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice for me! And today I will do what I can do, be mindful of my choices and trust that I am enough in Jesus’ care, even if I get the virus.

Family Life Radio is blessing three generations in our family: my hubby and I, our daughter & son, their spouses, and our grandkids (ages 11, 8, 3, & 1) who all enjoy FLN. An amazing experience we had with the power of Christian radio is when our 13-year-old Golden Retriever, Niko, became blind with associated anxiety, and he would cry whenever we left him alone, so we left Family Life playing for him all day and would return home to find a totally chilled dog actually lying by our stereo, obviously enjoying the music, (our Spirit-filled Golden!). Family Life is good spiritual soil in which to plant!

I just heard “Priceless” by For King and Country. It was a song I struggled to understand for a while. Then I lost my mother a week before Christmas in 2017. I was absolutely devastated. I spent the next few months between her service and burial struggling not only with grief but also with regret and heartbreak because our relationship had been so difficult. My mother came from a family of abuse of every kind, and unfortunately carried on the legacy. We spent years repairing the relationship. With God’s help I was able to forgive her a couple of years before she died, but she went home with me still feeling like I was never good enough for her. I heard Priceless again a week before her burial, and I finally got it…she’s not broken anymore. Over the past two years I’ve had time to understand it on deeper and deeper levels, knowing that she sees me for who I am now, and is with her family…who also are not broken anymore. Thank you for playing the songs that helped me to understand and heal in new and deeper ways.

I can’t begin to tell you how thankful I am for Family life radio. Through this pandemic I haven’t got to see many of my friends or family I’m single so 95 percent of my day I’m alone. I do night cleaning for the company I work for so when everyone else goes home to spend time with their families I’m alone I go home alone I sleep alone. But whenever I need that song of hope I can always turn on family life radio and it helps me out a lot. The Lord broke my addiction to gaming (I was using as an escape for loneliness) but I keep listening to this radio station and it keeps me moving forward. God bless Family Life Radio

I want to be an encouragement for any one who is setting on the the fence. To Glorify God and to Praise Jesus. God made us in his likeness but with a free will. (His likeness), He laid his hand on Moses, as they spoke together in the wilderness Moses asked Lord why can I not see you? God replied no man can see me and survive. But tomorrow when we finish speaking to one another as I walk past you, I will place my Hand on You and you will see Me from behind. Did you catch that? God has Hands like you and me. Friend our God made a way for you and me to stand in his Glory. The redemption and atonement that we have through the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our heavenly Father Loves you, In psalm 139 he tells you that he new you at the moment of your conception, He new you as you were knitted and woven together in your mothers womb. (How beautiful). He had a soul prepared for you at the moment of conception. Friend you were no mistake God loves you and He wants YOU! John 14:23 Jesus tells us keep my word Love Me. My Father will Love You and WE Will come and live in you. In Revelation Jesus tells us behold I stand at the door and Knock. Friend, OPEN THE DOOR! Let him into your Heart. In Ephesians we are told it is a Gift of God, it is by Faith that we can stand in God’s Glory. Simply believing (Faith Plus Nothing) it is a Gift in that no man shall boast of His works. As Jesus hung on the Cross, a thief hanging on a cross next to Jesus said you are the Messiah The Son of Man. Will you remember me. Jesus said to Him on this day you will be with me in Paradise. Did you catch that, the moment the man believed he was accepted. He did not not have time to jump down and go do good works. Faith plus nothing. Friend OPEN THE DOOR and Let JESUS In. HE is waiting for you to Open the Door to your HEART!
