Happy Music Monday and A-Z to you, readers!
Today's MM is brought to you by one of my favorite artists, who - very coincidentally- has a 'B' name!
Here is Francesca Battistelli singing "Beautiful, Beautiful". Enjoy!

THANK YOU!!!
JOY FM Friendraiser update:
We did it, fellow listeners! The Friendraiser ended two hours early on Friday and the goal was met 100%!!!
The goal starting last Monday morning was 1000 More than Music Mission Partners (people who donate $30 or more a month), and $360,000.
At just before 5 p.m. Friday, the grand total was 1,007 new MMMPs, and a total of $362,356!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving and helping to keep such a wonderful ministry going!
If you didn't get the chance to join in the Friendraiser fun, but still want to give, you can do that on the website!
I love listening to the JOY FM every single day! From me personally:

Bring Someone JOY!
If you're just getting to know me through The Modest Peacock, it should be immediately obvious how important music is to me. Music that affirms my faith and lifts my spirits is that much more valuable. Here in Atlanta, the radio station that more than meets my daily need for uplifting and encouraging music is WVFJ, The JOYFM at 93.3.
The JOY FM transferred to not-for-profit status just last year, which means they are LISTENER SUPPORTED. They can't operate without the support of the community. Twice a year the station holds a Friendraiser- a week of asking for your commitment to support them and keep them on the air as a blessing to as many people as the airwaves can reach!
My family is on a super tight budget. Husband's job, while we are grateful that he has one, leaves us reallllyyy reaching to make those ends meet. But here is something super cool and utterly amazing- they always do. Somehow or another, God pulls out all the stops and the money is there. (Very often down to the penny. So awesome!) Last fall during the first fundraiser week, I felt the Lord moving my heart to give. I was sitting in the van on my way to a temporary job that I had taken. I had J93 on the radio, of course, and this is how the conversation with the Lord went:
"Jenny. Call the station and give."
"Lord? You know we don't have the money."
"Yes, you will. Call."
"I don't understand."
He was so patient with my doubt. "You don't have to understand. Watch what I'll do. Call."
I fought and I struggled with the math in my head. We had enough for a one time gift, though. (I mean, we keep some in the account. We're not broke at a zero balance. We just have to manage what is there very carefully.) I balked and resisted. He just held my heart and kept insisting. I knew I had to obey. It was hard. But I knew I needed to.
So I dialed the number. 1-888-933-9330.
As the volunteer answered, the prompting in my heart was super strong.
I didn't give a one time gift. I obeyed the Lord and set up $30.00 a month. I knew we had it for about 3 months- after that I didn't know where it would come from. But you know what?? We have been SO BLESSED. It's been 6 months, and the money is not only there to give at the first of every month, we've had MORE than enough to cover it. The Lord comes through in so many ways- more hours for Husband at work. A seasonal job for me. Our tax refund. GOD PROVIDES! It has been amazing!!!
What can you give? Will you take that leap of faith and give? They need us to stay on the air and bring not only the encouraging music, but prayer time and the message of hope and Jesus' love to a hurting world. Please call them right now, or GIVE ONLINE. This is so important!
Husband's job has kept him in South Carolina for 6 weeks now. The kids and I haven't seen him for a month and a half. This is on top of our already very serious marriage problems that need help. February and March have been SO lonely. I can't tell you how The JOY FM has been a constant reminder of God's presence and love. I'm NOT alone and I am so loved! The music on The JOY FM has kept me praising and trusting Him. I don't know what's going to happen with Husband's job in the next while. It's not bringing in enough to get us back on our feet in the way that needs to happen, and I am often on my knees in prayer for something to change and heal our broken family. EVERY time I turn on The JOY FM, there is a song that addresses the very need I am struggling with. That's not a coincidence! That is the Lord God Almighty!
PLEASE, PLEASE give whatever you can. Maybe you can give $30 a month like I did. Maybe you only have $10 for a one time gift. Whatever it is, please call them or donate online!

Frank Goes to September Saturdays
Back in September, Douglasville put on a festival called September Saturdays. Saturday the 17th was "Heroes Day" and Frank came along to see the cool stuff on display from the Police and Fire Departments. Paige from J93.3 was there too, and we finally got to meet her! :)

Remembering Shelia

Today I want to share a video that J93.3's Jerry Williams made, to go with the tribute song for Shelia Richards. Shelia went to be with the Lord earlier this week.
We love you, Shelia, and we will see you again someday.

J93.3 Update and Prayer Request
Here's an update on the Share-a-thon! Remember my "Go Here Thursday" post from last week? (click the link if you don't or haven't seen it!)
When the Share-a-thon ended at 7 PM on Friday, the station had added "over 865 brand new MMMP's and over $311,000 raised!" (via j93.3's Facebook page) WOW! God is awesome! :) If you missed the Share-a-thon but still want to give and/or become an MMMP (More than Music Mission Partner), you can donate online any time.
While this is wonderful news, there was some news from the station this morning that is very sad. Sheila from the morning show (Sheila and Jerry) has been fighting cancer for some time now, and has been admitted to hospice. I love her spirit and her personality always got me up and going in the mornings when I was dragging. (Love you too, Jerry, but you know what I mean!) Sheila's husband, Jimmy, called in this morning with the news (praise God for giving him the strength for that call! I know that was hard!) and I just cried. You can hear it for yourself here at Jerry's blog.
Please pray for Sheila, her husband, her whole family, Jerry, her doctors, and all of her listeners as we wait for the Lord to show us His glory, no matter what that may be. If He heals her, we will praise Him! He is still the God of miracles! If He calls her home to be with Him, we will praise Him, because she will not be suffering! His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9) and we must trust Him.
Sheila has already left a precious legacy and shown the light of Christ to so many people. I hope she has more time with us, but we just have to wait and find out what the Lord is going to do. Sheila, my family and I love you, and we are praying hard for God's hand to be on you and give you His mighty peace.

Please Help!
It's GO HERE THURSDAY!
Tomorrow is the last day of J93.3's (WVFJ) fall Share-a-thon! Please show your support for this radio ministry by calling 888-933-9330 or donating online.
"Wait," you may be saying, "I don't live in Atlanta! Why should I partner with YOUR station??" Well guess what! You don't have to be an Atlanta resident to listen and enjoy the benefits of this wonderful ministry! You can listen online on your computer or with your smartphone from anywhere!
Y'all, this listener supported radio station has, on some of my darker days, been the glue that holds me together. Prayers on the air. A prayer hotline with real people on the other end who listen and believe God with you to ask Him for miracles in whatever you may be dealing with in your life. They do so many community outreach works that it's just incredible to see God move in a mighty way! (If you are wondering, this is the station I heard the ad for the Love Worth Fighting For Conference on last year.)
(For my experiences at it, see this post and this post.)
And, oh yeah! The music! They keep a steady stream of uplifting, positive music by great Christian artists going that just wraps around your soul and you are so encouraged and can't help but praise God's Holy name!!! It's amazing! I cannot say enough good things about this radio ministry.
As a not for profit, they need the financial support of listeners. I have heard wonderful stories from people whose lives have been changed and blessed because of this station. You can catch the latest happenings on their Facebook page and see what the Lord is doing! PLEASE call them or go online and make a donation.
This morning I called to become an MMMP (More than Music Mission Partner) with $30 a month. Yes, the economy is uncertain. Yes, we work hard to make the ends meet and sometimes can't seem to even find the ends. But God's resources are not limited and when He laid it on my heart to step out in faith and then I DID, I can't begin to tell you what kind of positive changes I see happening with my life - all over the place- just today! We don't have much, but He has always provided and I am so happy to have given just $1 a day to help keep that music coming. And you know what else? When I called, it was part of a $5,000 challenge, meaning that someone was offering up a $5,000 IF and only IF enough listeners called in within an hour to make up the $5,000. And you know what? We did! That challenge gave the station a total of $10,630!!!! WOW! We helped "match it, meet it and EXCEED it!"
If you're a regular reader of my blog, you know I have never championed a cause like this or asked you for one thin dime. But this is SO important! Just one $30 a month donation helps the station reach 200 listeners! When was the last time your generosity impacted that many people??! The station currently (as of 9 pm tonight) needs 980 more MMMPs to make their Share-a-thon goal. I think they've had over 500 sign up so far, so it shouldn't take long to make it happen!
Please help by giving them a gift. They have loads of volunteers at the phones, so it only takes a couple of minutes. 888-933-9330. Thank you so so so much and God Bless!
