That girl is gone again????

Well, yes. She is. Er--I am. It's happened again. But this time I caught it quicker... ok...backing up.

Last year about this time I was exhausted, my migraines were at an all time high, and I was getting sicker and sicker. After going to the doctor I ended up on short term disability for nine months. It was hard being away from my KTSY Morning Show family. But I knew it was what I had to do.

I ended up having gastric sleeve surgery in June because there was research that showed that my migraines could go away as well as not carrying around an extra 100 pounds MIGHT help with the exhaustion (which ended up being Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

In August I came back to work and I was so excited! I was feeling great! No headaches! My energy was awesome! But since then, like a bad dream, it's all coming back. I'm not as bad as I was last year, but if I keep going, I will be.

So, with a lot of prayer and consultation, I have made the painful choice to resign from the KTSY Morning Show. Please trust me when I say this is not an easy decision. This is my dream job. With my dream co-host. God brought me to this job and has allowed me to have so much fun and be able to do ministry and I have loved every minute of it! But I feel He is telling me that He has another way for me to do ministry for Him.

Today was my last show with Dave. If you listened, you heard my heart. If you didn't, here's what you missed. I am passionate about Jesus and if I have to praise Him from my bed, I will do that. :) Whatever way He wants me to bring Him glory, I'm going to do it.

Personally? Yes, I trust God. Yes, I know He has a plan. Yes, I know I will be just fine. But I'm sad. I love the morning show. I have been on it with Dave for the last three years and those have been some of my best years in radio. I cried most of the morning because it's done.

I am reciting 'My God shall supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory' like a mantra. :) My kids like to eat. lol. I'm not sure how our budget will balance. We are not extravagant. We live in a modest house and will cut where we can but I still need to make a significant amount of money. And. You may not know this. But. In our house? I AM THE WORRIER!!!  Maybe that's too subtle...I am the OBSESSOR!!! lol. This? God is working on with me. :) Again...'My God shall supply ALL of your needs according to His riches in glory'. And I will praise Him. No. Matter. What. We will not starve.

Everyone likes to ask, "Have they figured out what causes your migraines?" No. No answers. They just are. And "What can they do with the Chronic Fatigue?" Nope. No cure. It just is. Managing the symptoms is how it works.

What now? Welp. At this point I will be heard on 88.7 KOAY throughout the Christmas season. That's where we will be playing our traditional worship music while we have Christmas music on KTSY. After that, God willing I will be heard at some point on KTSY and The Bridge (in Twin Falls). I'm not sure when that will happen but I'm not going far away from you. :)

So for now, that's about all I know. Well, and this. I love you all deeply and God loves us and has all of this figured out. And if we could see the beginning and the end, we wouldn't change anything.

Hanging onto what I know and keeping my eyes on Him... Michelle
