My family and I
found HDC over 18 years ago and were all regular attendees. I attended High
School Youth Group every week and TRASH nights once a month, although it wasn't
for Him. Then came college, the Army, marriage, DIVORCE, three little boys and
about 11 years. I realized something a few months ago on one of my horribly
long trips to work. I'm an ER nurse at Riverside County Medical Center in
Moreno Valley and I drive about 90 minutes one way every day. I was listening
to the same station I had been for the last 20 years, getting upset at the
world for all the hatred in it, cursing at the "grandma" driving slow
in the fast lane, and I accidentally hit the channel seek button on the radio.
My radio tuned to Air-1, oh great, I thought. Christian Radio! How awful is
that? I thought it would just be some man screaming on the radio about my sins,
or some off-key hymnal from my childhood. But you know, I was taken aback.
I recently have tried to make my already once failed marriage
work. Things just weren't happening. I've had a huge void in my life and I
thought my ex-husband was it. You know through the next several weeks of
listening to that particular radio station, I realized the absence of God was
my void! I have come back to the church I called home as a child, though now as
an adult and my choice! You know what a wonderful feeling that is? I look
forward to church every week! I getting involved in a small group and being
baptized. Thank you so much HDC, for being such an important vessel for myself,
and my children as well, on our journey back to the Lord. God Bless You!!
