What's Your Story?
What's Your Story?

"There are still hard days. I long to see Nicole and hear her voice. I think about her every day. Even when it doesn't show on the outside, she is on my mind. I am still a work in progress, and you are too. I don't know what depths of grief your heart has experienced, whether it is the loss of a child in death, the loss of someone you never imagined living without, or if it is the loss of a dream. But I will tell you that you will make it through this. The scars, on your heart or on your body, are reminders. They are reminders to others and to us. We are more than survivors. We are conquerors in our battles. We are Victorious." Victorious Heart by Kim Peacock

I Didn't See it Coming

Then there came the moment I didn’t see coming. I felt tears stream down my face. My throat seemed to close, and my heart felt like it was on fire. I realized I was one of the ten that needed to ask for forgiveness and give my heart to Christ. I ran down the aisle for prayer. As the pastor prayed with me, I felt the weight of my sin dissipate. I felt the love of God for the first time in my life. I didn’t see it coming but my life changed that night.

My guest on the Bridges set this particular day was a petite, natural beauty, with gorgeous hair. I’m going to protect her privacy here so for the sake of this article we will call her Christy.

Dad-Your Kids Need You

Dads, your children need you. They need your leadership. They need your love. They need your approval. Even when you can’t affirm their behavior – you can affirm them. You can affirm your love and support even when you must discipline them. Especially when you discipline them. They need to know you still love them – and that you love them enough to teach them the difference between right and wrong.

A Friend is Always Loyal
A Friend is Always Loyal

About 25 years ago I met Herman and Sharron Bailey. Herman was sent by CTN’s Headquarters to serve as the General Manager at WHTN – CTN's Nashville affiliate station. At that time WHTN was a struggling station, and Herman was selected to turn things around. When I met the Bailey’s, I knew they were special people. What started as a great working relationship, became a loyal and trusted friendship.

She was nervous about being a guest on Bridges, but agreed to share her story with the hope that it would encourage other Moms. Mary’s “mom” story is filled with prayers and adversity. While she prayed for a happy, faith-filled family, her oldest son struggled with depression and anxiety. Despite the loving and supportive family, Blake felt like an outcast. Sadly, by his teen years he regarded himself a lost cause. This didn’t stop Mary from praying.
