No More Running
Twenty years. That’s how long I’ve been in radio. I’ve given it my time, my energy, my creativity—my voice. It’s what I’ve known, where I’ve grown, and honestly, it’s where I’ve hidden. Because as much as I’ve loved radio, it’s been my comfort zone. My fall-back plan when life got too real, when GOD started pulling me into something bigger.
Since 2013, I’ve felt it—GOD gently, then not so gently, pushing me out. Every station, every opportunity, every time I thought I found "the one," it wouldn’t last. And I used to think it was people, politics, or just bad timing. But now? I know it was GOD the whole time.
HE was trying to tell me, "Daughter, I have more for you."
When Familiar Feels Safer Than Faith
See, I’ve always known I had a calling outside of radio. Something deeper. But the truth? I ran from it. Every time GOD opened a door that made me stretch, I’d get scared. I’d feel the weight of purpose, the responsibility of the gift HE gave me—and I’d go back to what I knew. Radio was familiar. Radio was safe. It didn’t require me to fully step out on faith.
I kept thinking, What if I fail? What if I’m not enough? What if I just stay where it’s easier?
But let me tell you something about GOD—HE won’t let you stay where HE didn’t call you to build.
Getting fired hit different this time. It wasn’t just about losing income or a title. It was about losing the last crutch I had. It was about GOD finally getting my attention and making me face the truth—I had been placing my gift in the hands of man, expecting them to do what only HE can.
HE was showing me that I don’t need a radio station to speak. I don’t need a platform built by people to use what HE gave me. The same GOD that gave me the voice, gave me the purpose—and HE’S the only one who can open doors no man can shut.I’ve come to realize that I’ve been delaying my own breakthrough. Running from my true calling. Settling for good when GOD wanted to give me great. I’ve been shrinking, afraid to walk in the fullness of what HE put inside of me.
But not anymore.
I’m done looking for man’s approval. I’m done using radio as my security blanket. GOD’s been calling me higher, and I’m finally saying yes—for real this time.
I don’t know exactly what the future looks like, but I know this: I will not place my gift in the hands of man again. My gift belongs to GOD, and HE’S the only one I trust to take it where it’s meant to go.
HE’S been patient with me, but now it’s time to move. Time to walk by faith, not by sight. Time to believe that everything I need is already inside of me, because HE put it there.
“For the gifts and the calling of GOD are irrevocable.” – Romans 11:29 (NKJV)
Are you running from what GOD called you to do? Are you holding onto something because it’s comfortable, even though you know it’s time to let go? Trust me, I get it. But there’s freedom in saying yes to GOD. Your gift doesn’t need man’s hands—it just needs your faith.
