I'm sitting here struggling to figure out how to start this post. I've got the title just fine, but it's the intro I'm have trouble with.You see...Over the weekend we received quite an email. Not a negative one, but one that just makes you say, "That's why it all matters." I'll stop blabbing and let the email speak for itself. I have removed the name for privacy's sake, and I'm not posting this for shock value or anything, I just think it's a good reminder about how God can work through the ministry of music and what we do here at JQ99.
Only thing I would say is this. We didn't save this person, we were just part of a bigger orchestrated operation by God. Thanks God!
I hope I am sending this to the right place. First time E-mailing you guys.
I just want to thank you guys. I was starting to slip in my faith, I began questioning everything I grew up on. I didn't want anything to do with God, Jesus, the Bible.. Nothing.
I came to 99.3 shortly after LPI, a camp through the Salvation Army...I've listened to you since then. But back to the point, even though I wanted nothing with my faith, I kept listening to you.
That's when I heard "Monster" by Skillet for the first time. I came into my room, storming mad. I had a bad day at school, and my mom was yelling. My friend was shoving religion in my face, and I had enough. I was sick of life.
I have a history of suicidal thoughts, and it was coming back to haunt me. I heard "Monster", and it nailed what I thought at the time to a "T".
I sat on my floor, and cried. For over an hour. I wanted to thank you from keeping me from going back to the old ways, and maybe taking it a step farther.
I think you saved me from killing myself that night by playing Skillet... Thank you so much.
