So I--I listen to all kinds of different music and I was just getting to the point where nothing was motivating me. Sure, the dance songs were great and the old 70's rock I grew up with is awesome and everything, but I'm like I need something fresh. I need something new. So I was scrolling around stations and honestly I can't even remember. What song it was, but it might have been, you say. And I'm like Ohh, I love this song, but I don't really want to listen to another pop station cause I only ever heard it on a pop station. Right? So I left it cause I love the song. And then another faith-based song came on. I'm like ohh. This is Christian rock. Yes. Finally something different and then it's been there ever since, like two months now. And every time I think, oh, maybe I'll go back to some Top 40 just to, you know, dance around the house or whatever. Something like don't stop praying comes on. I'm like. Oh, it's OK. I'll dance to this. It's bizarre. I go to bed at night and I'm singing one of the songs I wake up in the morning. It's in my head. I'm like this is why I listen to it. This is why.

I don't know where I'd be. You know, without some support. Like, you know, it's just the encouragement that I can turn on the radio at home and in my vehicle here--Christian Radio--and and just tune the world out and remember the stories in the Bible. Like you know, everything there. When I'm sitting here, just kind of observing, I open [TWFYT] up and the word there, the message there just gives me strength. It gives me hope and it constantly takes me back to God's word and it helps me with issues. We tend to get down so easy sometimes. I believe that it's not God's way to let that happen.

Father we thank you for your goodness and your grace in our lives. We thank you for your love and as school approaches I think of my grandkids going to school. I bring each one before your throne of grace. I pray that you would be honoured in their hearts and in their minds as they do school work, as they do extra curricular activities. I also pray that you would help them to each find a close friend that has similar values. And help them to be children of integrity. I pray this all in your name, amen.
