My 23 seconds of insane courage

If you have been a listener to The House FM for a while, you might have noticed that I am not on your morning show anymore.  If you haven't heard that news, then read this.

I hope I haven't disappointed you with moving on.  Please know that I still have a voice and God still wants to use it.  The truth is God is not calling me away, He's calling me out.  The enemy can't steal this voice that God is growing.

God has promised to use my voice still and has reassured me that this voice, the words spoken and written, are what's in my hands, so to speak, and He wants to take them to many places.    

At least this is what I understand for now.  

His voice came not in a burning bush or like a neon sign, but in the intimate conversations God and I have about voices.  This new faith journey all started and continues in faith conversations with God.  

"God lead me to where my trust is without borders."  ~ me
"How about you let me make a big splash with your written voice." ~ God
Blink....blink...says my heart as I absorb those words.  
Few and simple words.  
"How about letting Me take your words where your trust hasn't been before."  ~ God
"Yes, God please do..." ~ me, speechless.

Those few words from God where enough to
...kick start my passion,  
...fan the flame of faith, 
...gave me 23 seconds of insane courage.  

What's in my hands?  Only words that God has given and really that is all I have to start with. So with a heart full of trust, I have put them on His altar of praise and said with a trembling voice, "Let Your heart lead mine." 

So how can I be sure this is my new now?  Because... 

This is my faith.  This is my trust.  I must trust and obey.  I'm not that gifted of a writer.  But God is the Giver of all words, so I seek Him in all words and more.

Now?  It's time to see where my 23 seconds of insane courage leads my heart as I wander through His.   

Simply Put

Get on the horn and make your pledge!  Come 'on!

Many of you know that we are in the middle of our annual Pledge Drive for The House FM and My Praise FM.  There are a lot of words I could say to compel you to give.  But really... just a few are needed.


Today...we prayed for you.


That's it in a nutshell.  As a staff...we prayed for you.  We thanked God for those of you who have already pledged.  We prayed for those who hadn't pledged yet.  We prayed that you would to listen to what God was telling you give.  We prayed for you to be obedient to His voice.  We prayed for new pledgers that you wouldn't let fear get in the way of making a pledge.  Yes, we stopped and prayed for you.


We prayed "Surprise Us God".  


We are not worried, fretting or wringing our hands wondering if we will meet our goal.  There is no need.  God has provided in the past and God will again provide.  But how He provides is the exciting part.  He wants to involve you.  


When you support the ministry, you are supporting His work.  His work in your home, your family, your community, your church, your neighborhood, your school, in you.  You are doing what God has called us all to do and that is to go and make disciples of all nations.  

When you support, you are involved in His holy work, God's holy calling.  

Simply put you have the opportunity to get involved in something holy, in changed lives, in making a difference, for what matters most.    

Yesterday, a caller asked for prayer.  Pat accepted Christ by phone.  Today Heaven is still celebrating over Pat's decision.  You can be involved in God's plan for pledge drive today.  Simply put...God has holy plans.  Please call and pledge your support.  Will you?  800-324-8488.

We are praying for you.
