Really don't know where to
begin. I was raised up in church, always visiting other churches,
My parents kept us in church continually.
When I married it was to an over the road truck driver-minister.
Thus my serving the Lord still had top priority . I don't know
what I would do without the Lord, because He has always been with
me in raising my family, and in any important decisions that had
to be made in my life.
After 37 years the Lord called my husband home, and I didn't know
how I could make it, because at that time in my life (fear stepped
in, and faith was kind of put on a back burner. The natural
(earthly) part of my mind took over, and I didn't see how I could
continue on my own.
For awhile I wondered "Why Me"? But after a period of time, I
thought "Why Not Me? Was I supposed to be exempt from heartache,
loss, and sorrow. I realized that our Heavenly Father had given up
His Son in our stead, that we might be saved. Jesus didn't have to
do it but He did, and it finally came to my realization that I had
to go on, that my work wasn't completed yet.
I needed something to do. Some type of ministry, to keep me going,
To keep myself from just giving up and not doing anything.
Sister Cyndee Walburn had started a "Prayer Ministry" on the
radio, and had became ill and had to be hospitalized. I went to
see her, and she asked Sis. Evelyn Boyet if we would go by her
home, and tell Bro. Lary that he needed to find someone to do her
radio broadcast. We went by, and we volunteered. Bro. Lary drew a
diagram of the buttons we were to use, and thus my prayer ministry
was born.
I know it was a "God Thing", because I'm still there, and I can be
so tired and sort of down, because of circumstances in my life,
and I can go into the KNLP Studio, and I can feel the presence of
the Lord all around me, and there is such a sweet peace that comes
over me, that I know the Lord is there wrapping His arms of love
around me, telling me to go on, that there are still lost and
hurting people out there needing ministered to.
If I can make a difference in one person's life by witnessing on
the air, and letting people know that Jesus Is Real, and that He
will be there for them, it will be worth it all.
Kevin Spencer sings a song, "It'll Be Worth it after all", and I
know that I know that I know that some day, I will hear the Lord
say, welcome in, you have fought a good fight, you have finished
the course, you have kept the faith, and I will wake up in
Glory and see some of the ones that maybe I have helped win to the
Lord. Some plant the seed, some water and others till, but Thank
God "If I can help to throw out the life-line to some one that is
drifting, feeling like they have no hope, I just want to throw out
the Anchor, and that is Jesus, the source of all our joy, hope and
inspiration.
May God bless you all.
