i fell out of faith when i was 18. i had been through alot by then and i just couldn't help but think why is God doing this to me of all people. my parents divorced when i was 9 and i was shattered by 14 i was hospitalized for bi-polar and adhd. i was doing so much better by 18 till i stopped all medication. at 20 i was hospilized again and thought that i had no one till i asked my cousin if i could go live with him and i prayed every night till he gave me the answer of yes. i knew God was there and holding my hand through all of this. i started to attend church and help out there. i met many new people who have really touched my life. i was going to move to downers grove to be a live in nanny but there were alot of people out here who didn't want me to go. these people have really been there for me and i have a huge support system out here that i didn't have before. i don't know where i would be in life if these few people didn't step into my life. i am so grateful to have the second chance in life. to come from rock bottom to back on top i am so thankful that God has put these things in my life and he watches me every day.

I just found you'r station and I am so glad. I just recently came back to the Lord. I have been through alot of struggles and lost my husband of seventeen years in 2008 and six months later I lost my mother. I have no immediate family because my sister died in 2002 and my father died in 1991. I guess you could say that I got angry for awhile and turned my back on God. I never gave Him completely up because I knew somewhere deep inside that I needed Him and He would always be there for me. I had to go through some things before it got better. I am pleased to say that I am now happily married to a wonderful man and my children are happy and healthy and I was blessed with 2 step children. God is slowly restoring my life but it took me hitting bottom to finally realize that I needed God to help me through things. I couldn't do it on my own. I tried and failed miserably. God doesn't promise us and easy life but He does promise to help us through the storms of our lives if we trust Him. I give Him all the Glory and Honor. Thank You Lord for never giving up on me.

Surely each one can attest to a moment which may have precariously balanced on a razors edge of disaster, only to be saved by the sheer grace of a all might loving merciful God. In 1998, I lived in Minnesota with my husband & 2 young sons. I had started working the nightshirt as a security guard at a nearby factory. I had to leave around 3:30pm to be there by 4pm, right before my youngest son Michael came home from school. I had gone into work, it was not long before I received a call from my oldest son informing me that a teacher had called home to inform me of what she had witness my youngest son do. Michael had missed saying goodbye to me before i left & his urge to come home that day overwhelmed his sense of good judgment. A teacher had seen him crawl beneath a moving freight train to get home, he must have been only eight years old. when I heard this a overwhelming sickness gripped my heart, I cried uncontrollably that night & for the next three days just thinking of what might have been. God saved my son that day, there is no doubt in my mind, & because of his mercy I have a beautiful granddaughter & another grandchild on the way. But 13 years later, to just entertain the thought of that day still brings tears to my eyes. God is awesome in His mercy!

Story:
Because of serveral things that happened to me last year I was shown that my life was not right with God and so on 7 Oct 2010 I rededicated my life to Jesus. Things were going great until Jan 2010 when a friend was brutally murdered in his home. It hit me very hard and started a spiral of events that put me in the worst storm of my life. The Devil truly worked me over for most of the first 6 months. I was not sleeping, overworking trying to keep my mind off of the negative and just all around in the dumps. I found my self not taking up my bible or have daily quite time with God and that is when it hit me that I was not asking for comfort and strength nor the guidance to get me through. One thing that I know for sure is this. Because of your station I did not fall too far away. Because of your station all though I did not get personal with God through prayer I was still able to praise Him through song all day every day. I love you guys for what you have and continue to do for me. KLOVE is AWESOME Christians serving an AWESOME GOD!

Dear K love
I listen to your station everyday as much as I can. I have been married for 14 years and I am facing a divorce. I really do love my husband and he really does love me and our children. While facing this horribile tragady I have come to hear that my husband has give his life to God and wants with everything in him to save our marriage. He stated that he has always loved me more than anything," but as he gave his heart to Jesus he now knows that he must first love Jesus more than anyone in order to have a blessed life as well as marriage. I write this to you because your station and your stories is where he finally found Jesus.. Thank You....

I just want to thank K Love for the spiritual uplift that I received from you this summer. My Mother, who was very healthy, suddenly became very ill during the month of May this year and I had complete responsibility for her care. She was in the hospital three times from June 1 through July 30 and she went home to be with the Lord on August 5. While she was in and out of the hospital, which was 50 miles from our home, I was running over there and then coming back and trying to take care of my full time job, while taking care of my family including my 17 year old grandson. In the middle of all this my 35 year old nephew was in a very bad motorcycle wreck and was in the hospital for 13 days after which he came to my home to finish his recuperation. There were times when I feel that if I hadn't had K Love to listen to I wouldn't have made it home from the hospital at night and also I listened online at work. Not only the music but the stories and interviews helped me make it through what at times felt like an impossible summer. I would turn on K love and listen and let the peace of God just sweep over me. God is Great and he always provides what we need!

I thought that since you are talking about the Katrina anniverisary, I would share a story with you. A very dear friend of mine Betty Downs of Conway AR went above and beyond to help during that time. She opened her house not only to her family but to many others. Betty took in families she had never meet and not only them also thier pets. Race nor size of pet was any question to her bring them all. Betty made these people feel at home. It was like a big family reunion even though they weren't all family. They cooked and kids played as they watched the news and saw the damage of their homes, which most of them lost. After they were able to go back, she kept the animals for many months after. Some were not able to take their pets back so Betty found good homes for them all. Then she volunteered with her church to go help clean up. Betty would never ask to be recognized for this but I just felt she should be. She is definetly one of God's workers with a very big heart.

Hi KLOVE, just wanted to say thank you for being there when I am in need. I don't have any dramatic stories to tell. I'm just an everyday guy that has done many bad things in my life. I struggle with everyday sins and recently gave my life to Christ. The music KLOVE plays always inspires me to follow Christ and reminds me of the good that God does for people. Keep up the good work and once again Thank You!

Story:
I came to Christ during a party while I was in the Navy. The Lord was dealing with me for months about turning to Him and now was the time. It was a ship's party annually held at a water park in south eastern Alabama. The water park was situated on a river named Styx; if you are famiar with your Greek mythology, that's the mythical river leading to the underworld. The name of the water park was Styx River Water World, and during the drinking, loud music,and all that other stuff that goes on, Christ showed me that "now is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation" I came to Jesus on the Styx river...I was given life on the river leading to death. Amazing!
