Open and Shut Doors

I have been hosting a radio show on KWXC 88.9 in Grove, Ok which can also be heard live at www.kwxcradio.com, every Friday at noon since April 2016.  The show is called Proverbs 31:30 Woman to Woman.  I invite Christian women to share what God has done in their life, what they are doing for the Him, or how they came to know Jesus as Lord.  Each woman that I have interviewed has had something valuable to share with me, and with all who listen to their story.  Some women step on my toes while others have opened my eyes and blessed my heart.  It has been exciting to watch these women light up with God’s love as they share about Him.

Recently, I had the privilege of sharing my testimony on the show.  The station owner, Debbie Martin, interviewed me about when I gave my life to the Lord, how I began writing, and the new door that has opened to host my own radio show.

After sharing my story, it’s hard to believe that it’s real.  There have been times in my Christian life that I felt stagnant, unproductive, and useless.  There have been things I have done that didn’t seem that they would ever be accomplished.  I think I wrote and re-wrote my first Bible study, “Rebekah’s Confidence”, three times over a period of two years.  I was afraid to publish it, scared to call myself an author, and terrified that others would hate it.  For me to now say that I have written and published three Bible studies is a long way from where I started 8 years ago. 

I am thankful for the doors that God has opened for me, and I am just as thankful for the doors He has shut in my face.  This year has been a pivotal year in my life with many doors opening to me and I am excited to be walking through those doors with His guidance each step of the way.

Remember to be thankful for the doors God shuts, they are blessings too.
