K-LOVE

I love K-LOVE.  For those of you who don’t know, that would be the Christian Radio Station.  I thoroughly enjoy listening to not only their music, but also the different inspiring stories.  To some people, this may not be their cup of tea I owe my being hooked to one of my former co-workers.

   

July 5, 2012 I returned to work after taking time off for the holiday and I was told I would be going into the field.  This wasn't the most uncommon thing, the uncommon part was the fact that it was going to be for nine….NINE, 9, nueve MONTHS!!!!!!!!

Being sent out in the field made little to no sense.  First, there were several people that lived closer, had more experience, and well it was their team’s project.  I digress.   While adding to my drive by more than an hour, being stuck in 100+ degree heat (later single digits), I did get to work with someone new.  Eric.  Eric and I took a little to get to know each other, however I love learning about people.  Going around site with him his radio would play softly in the background.  I would faintly recognize some songs from when I was in high school.

Learning it was K-LOVE I decided to give it a shot listening to it.  This was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.  Starting around the end of October/beginning of November I would only listen to K-LOVE full time.  As stupid as it may sound the “positive and encouraging” station really did change a lot about me.  My moods became better, I was less stressed, and I realized everything happens for a reason.

Today, I listen to K-LOVE as often as possible (I’m not driving nearly as much), but I will even say I do catch my husband singing along! I challenge each person to try a “30-day challenge”.  They typically have this on the start of the New Year, but you can start any time. Go to the following link to locate the radio station closest to you, if you'd like: K-LOVE radio stations

One of my favorite things I've learned from the station (besides the cliche “everything happens for a reason”) is the quote that I try to live by:

“Being offended is a choice YOU make.”

Take a moment to think about this quote and see if you can try to implement it in your daily life.
