Hope and Confidence

To say today was exciting would be a grave understatement. Today, after work, I went to a concert with For King & Country and to meet some of the staff of The Joy FM, a radio station that has helped me through many difficulties. The station has been a constant throughout my five hospitalizations in the past year. No matter what happens each day, I know that I can turn on the radio and feel better.

For King & Country sang a few songs but they said some things that really meant a lot to me. They talked about our worth as human beings and being the man or woman that we were made to be. At one point, they said to hold our head high and be confident.

That meant a lot. As someone who has been treated less than I'm told I deserve through abusive situations, it meant a lot to hear them talk about our worth in God. Sometimes it's so difficult to move forward in confidence, but if we believe in God, we can truly weather any storm that life throws at us.

I met with the band afterwards and briefly told them what it meant to me.

Afterwards, I talked to some of the staff of The Joy FM, a Christian radio station here. Meeting them meant more than words I can write or express. They have helped me through so many storms this past year by making me laugh and by speaking truth into my life when I most need to hear it. They feel a lot like family. It was a blessing to be able to tell them what the station means to me.

I want to end this post with my new favorite song by For King & Country called Crave.

Hope is what it's all about.
