I wanted to share a testimony. Last Sunday afternoon, I was in my garage on a ladder putting stuff in my rafters. I was on my last load and the ladder went out from under me and I tried to hang onto the rafters and I fell. I landed on my left hip and backside area and then hit my head, neck, and upper back on an industrial printer. I went to the ER and they did a ct scan with contrast and found no breaks of any kind in my head, neck, and spine. The next morning, I woke up without pain! Love lifted me as I was in God's hand. No one can tell me that wasn't a miracle. A fall that far and hard, I could only be protected by His mighty hand! I have bruises in lots of places on my body but nothing hurts from the fall. Isn't He wonderful? You have my permission and hope that you will share this to other believers as it was such an encouragement to me. I have been being attacked by the enemy for quite a while and was feeling really weary. The devil literally tried to take me down but he failed!
Three years ago, I watched my husband's grandma slowly pass away. Nine months later, after caring for my mother in law, she passed away. Six months later, I had a baby die in my arms and six months after that, my husband passed away. I was barely holding on emotionally, physically, and spiritually. But I did for my children, who were struggling with understanding all the death we have witnessed in three years. I was drowning and exhausted from trying to be strong for my children. I went to McDonald's because I had an extra 10 dollars. I don't know where that money came from since my budget was so tight. I got to the front of the line and learned that the person in front of me paid and left a message for me. The message was this: "You are stronger than you understand and you and your children will be ok." I did not recognize the vehicle in front of me. It was in that moment that I felt like I could actually breathe and the tightness in my chest lightened up. Wouldn't you know that the person behind me had a bill for just under 10 dollars! So I was able to do the same for them! I am still struggling, but we are going to be ok!
I love the new song on KLRC, "Running Back to You" by Seph Schlueter. God is waiting for us just as we are! We can run to him and He is ready to wrap his arms around when we get back to him. I know how safe I felt when my own earthly father wrapped his arms around me. God is much better!
I got to meet Kara from KLRC! I had a rough two weeks and the enemy was against me. My husband and I decided to rebuke the enemy and went to Faith and Family Night! When I met Kara her hug was real, and it was the Positive Difference I needed! It’s been a dream to meet Kara as she is like a soul sister! I am thankful that God places the perfect person in your path when you are hurting, I felt like God put Kara standing in that place for me to meet her!
In July of 2018, I lost hearing in my right ear. I went to urgent care and they told me it was just allergies, and they put me on allergy medication. I went to see my doctor, and they put me on for different antibiotics, and I told them that it wasn't working and there was something bigger going on.
In August I saw an ear and nose specialist he went up in my nose and looked, and he told me it looks like it's cancer. He wanted to do the biopsy the next day.
The next day we did the biopsy, and he came back in and told me it was three times bigger than what he thought. He told me it was called nasopharyngeal cancer and I was stage 4. I started chemotherapy and radiation and went from 250 to 180 lbs in 7 months. I lost 90% of my salivary glands, and they said it could come back or it may not. Thank God I had insurance. But I felt alone from the very beginning.
I heard a sermon on Psalms 23. I was walking through my own valley of death. But God was walking with me through the whole thing. Nowhere in the Bible does it say our lives will be a bed of roses when we are with Him. But in all things, He will be with us. When we go through rough times we can dwell in the bad or we can focus on making through it.
Now I am cancer free. I still have some struggles in life. But I know I'm not alone, and God has a purpose for my life. Even if it's to give others hope that if I can make it so can you. No matter if your married or single, a parent or not, you have a reason to fight. Our life affects everyone around us. We are all warriors who have some fight. We just have to remember we are not doing it alone.
The day of my Dad’s funeral, I heard Miracle Child by Brandon Lake three times in a row on the radio! I must admit… I had turned the station because this song broke me. The next two stations I turned to had it playing as well. Now, it’s one of my favorite songs. God takes our shattered pieces and turns our ashes into beauty & allows our tests to become testimonies.
I just absolutely 💯 love Christian music. 🎶 I grew up listening to it then got away from it for awhile, but I’m sooooo glad that I get to hear it everyday now whenever I want! I might not always remember the NAME of the song or the artist (as I’m getting to be an “old timer” 😝) but I still will keep on a playing it. It’s great for the soul.
I just want to say thank you Jesus for ALL you've done. Not just for keeping my family and myself safe from this tornado that hit us this past weekend, but for my friends, my co-workers, my neighbors, my town, and my county. God spared us all and kept us safe. Thank you for the many first responders, for those who ran to check on your neighbors, for those who volunteered, for those who came from out of state to lend a hand. The many men and women on the electrical crews, the tree cutters, and the debris clean up crews. When I saw the many electrical trucks parked at the Dixieland mall it brought me to tears. Over 600 men and women working non stop in 16 hour shifts to get power restored to our homes, businesses for all of our necessities. I am eternally grateful. We appreciate you more than you know!
Last night after midnight my door camera took some scary video of several individuals trying to get in my front door. Today as I left the police station to report this, KLRC was playing Lauren Daigle's song “Be Okay.” It was the right song at the right time. Thank you Jesus.
Hi! I’m Carmen, I’m 12 and going through a rough time. I have trichotillomania, a hair pulling condition and I have had it since I was 11. It has greatly affected me in my life and I have struggled with it. I sometimes wonder why I have such a hard life but I know God has a plan for my life so I praise him for everything. It’s crazy that you take things for granted like my hair. I have had to shave my hair multiple times because of it. I just thank God for everything I still have.
Hi, my name is Shelley and I'm a mother of three. I've been struggling with bad things for the last year. I lost my husband and my only sibling within 2 months of each other. I have been struggling ever since, but the last 58 days I've been clean and sober. I'm just going to say that if it wasn't for God I probably wouldn't be here now. I know my babies need me, and I just wanted to thank you guys for all your uplifting stories. I'm listening to Christian music now... I was never really into it, but I love it now. I love you all!
The biggest “God moment” I’ve had was when I was at rock bottom, and Robert shared about an article that explained why just having the courage to get out of bed on your darkest days was an act of worship. That was a major turning point for me, and I still think about that almost daily.
When my grandson was little and would come to visit from Oklahoma City, he would love to stand at my back door which was glass and look outside. He would smear his little hand prints and slobber all over it. I normally wouldn't stand for such a mess but after he would go home I always left those sweet smears and slobbers there until I knew he was coming back. Every time I looked at it, I remembered him standing there and my heart was full.
My half-sister has had mental issues her entire life and because of that, she's had to be institutionalized most of her life. This past week, while my mom was visiting with her, it was as if my sister's mind was clear for the first time in ages. My mom and her had a heart to heart conversation that my sister was fully aware of and in the moment for. It was a special gift from God for my mom to receive this moment. Almost like a glimpse of what heaven will be like.
Our family is so incredibly grateful for KLRC and has been listening for several years, since our oldest son who was probably 4 years old and fell in love with the music and messages shared on KLRC. Not long after, I decided to give a single gift to KLRC during the fundraiser, and I remember a space at the bottom of the online form asking if there was anything I wanted the KLRC team to pray for. I can distinctly recall typing my request "for the spiritual growth of our family." While at the time, we had a strong faith, we did not have a church home, and I knew we had a lot of growing to do spiritually. I had no idea how God would move in our lives, work through KLRC and answer that prayer in the years to follow. But it brings tears to my eyes now to share that we have come so far in our spiritual journey. A little over a year ago, we found our church home. And last fall, our entire family: myself, my husband and our 2 boys (ages 6 and 9) were all baptized. KLRC has been a HUGE part of our spiritual journey, impacts our lives daily, and I know our spiritual growth is in such large part due to that prayer request years ago that continues to be answered today. THANK YOU SO MUCH to all at KLRC for the amazing work you do impacting lives everyday!
