I got it!!

I’m so excited!  Just a day before my birthday Chuck Pryor came in while I was filling in for Susan O’Donnell and made the announcement–I’m the new Sunday Night talk show host!  This is a dream come true for me.  It’s funny how God knows our dreams and sets things in motion without us ever really asking.  What a great birthday present!

This all started when Chuck emailed me and asked me if I would consider trying out for the Sunday Night show.  I had been filling in for both the Morning and Afternoon Show for almost two years.  I had never done an hour of live talk before; let alone a call in show!  I was thrilled and a bit nervous.  A friend of mine said, “You go in there and tell him, this is where I shine.”  It’s good to have friends who see things in you that you don’t see.  I thought about that as I went to meet with him.  I got up the courage, said it to him, and as I did I prayed, “Lord, please let that statement be so!”

So my first show was Father’s Day, June 17th.  I chose to do a show on Santa Maria, a great organization here in Houston that helps women get off drugs and alcohol; and allows them to take their kids to the rehab program.  My husband said, “So, you wanted to start with something non-contraversial?” (LOL)  That show was amazing.  We had so many calls and many of the people were so broken.  It made me realize my friend was right; I could do this but it was not me who would shine.  It was Jesus living through me.  Everything I do is for Him.  Not me.

So, here I am, planning show after show.  Every show I do I think about the listeners.  What would they like to know about and learn about?  How would they ask my guests a question if they were in the room?

Then, I was given web blog training.  I will be getting a Sunday Night show page in a couple of weeks.  But until then, I can start my own blog.  They showed us how to do that yesterday.  So here I am, blogging!  What a kick!

Every Sunday is an opportunity to give Houstonians information about things that affect their lives.  I look forward to doing just that!
