Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have
put together some of my favorite radio moments here to
share with you on our daily podcast. Hey it's Delilah.
Maybe you're a young person. Maybe you're in grade school
(00:23):
or junior high, or high school or college. I used
to think people in college were adults. That's when I
was young, and I was you know, that young person.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Now that I'm old, I think college kids as kids
because I'm old.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
But I love young people. I love young adults. I
love my kids who are young adults. I only have
two children that are still minor children. One is about
to turn eight and one just turned fifteen.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It's weird. I tell you.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I'm used to having seven or eight kids in the
house and now I have four, two young adults and
my two kids. So if you are a young person,
I welcome you. Annabella, Welcome to the Delilah Show.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I wanted to dedicate a song to my mom. Her
names of Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You sound like you're about to have a heart attack.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Take a deep breath.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Here, deep breath, shake it out. Okay, now tell me
what you want to tell me.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Well, my mom she.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Listens to your show every night and I dedicated sold her.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Hi, Mama, what do you want to tell her? Annabella?
By the way, I love your name. Are you as
beautiful as your name implies? Thank you? That is a
beautiful name. I picture you with like this.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Sweet, almost carved looking, beautiful face, like you're just very
very tenderhearted.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I mean, I don't know if that's really you.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
You could be a big goofball like me, but that's
just what your name and your voice implies.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Tell me what I can do for you? And Mama?
What do you want to hear?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Oh? Well, I just kind of want to like Dedicade's song.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I just kind of want to hear a song.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
She's always just been there for me, and she's always.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Just supported me. And she's always just been there for me,
and she's really helped me.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
How old are you eleven?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Oh my gosh, you are so sweet. What a good
kid you are. I will play a song for you
and Mama, thank you for listening.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Is this Chris, Yes, it is Chris. This is Delilah.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
I just wanted to call about that. There's a special
person in my life and her name's Beth. We met
in high school, which is where we're still at. But
we kind of started off kind of weird, where it
was hard to talk to each other and things like that,
and we've slowly gotten over that. And she's just I mean,
(03:08):
she's an awesome person. She's one of those girls that
the second she walks in the room, your heart's either
beaten twice as fast or it's skipping a beat. You
just can't tell because you're so busy looking at how
beautiful she really is.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Now, now, do you think that happens to everybody or
is it just a special effect she has on you?
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Oh, it's just a special effects she has on me.
She I mean, we've hung out a lot lately, and
I mean, she's absolutely amazing. I couldn't ask for somebody
more special.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So what can I do for this wonderful woman, young
lady who has captured your imagination and makes your heart
go whoo woo woo every time she bogs by?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Yeah, if you could play a song, maybe just give
us a little song. Maybe we can every time we
hear it, we'll think of each other. That'd be awesome.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Now, are you going to different colleges next year? What
are you doing.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Well, she'll still be in high school and then I'll
be an incoming senior, so we'll sell one more year
together in college.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
So you've got to make the most of the song.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
But you're not going to let that throw you off
track with your studies.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Oh, hopefully not.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Raise your right hand and repeat after me. All right, I, Chris,
do solemnly swear Hi, Chris.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Do not to let this little love.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Thing, not to let this little love thing.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Take my focus off my studying, take.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
My focus off my studying.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
You promise, I promise to the best of your ability. Anyway, Yeah, Haylee,
what can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I want to play a song for my mom and
my people who are like helping me right now. Completely.
I've been having depression. Then I have an eating and
stuff like that, and I'm having a really hard time,
and I just want to plans of all the people
who've been praying for me and who have been out
there just help me.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
So are you in a treatment program now?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah? I'm thinking you know, the doctors right now are
thinking about an intensive treatment program.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
And you recognize that you have a problem, yeh, And
you recognize that you need help there.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
You know, it took me a long time.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I was probably in my late twenties before I made
the connection in my mind that it doesn't matter what
other people think of me. It doesn't matter if they
think I'm pretty, it doesn't matter if they think I'm thin.
I need to be in good shape for my health's
sake and my heart's sake, not for what other people
(05:46):
think of me. But I was, like you, consumed with
what other people thought. And then I realized that the
one who created the mountains and the earth and everything
beautiful created me perfectly. Yeah, and I don't have to
measure up to anyone else's expectations. All of a sudden,
(06:09):
everything became perfectly clear. Just the way you are is
the way that God made you, and you are good enough. Then,
all of a sudden, you can stop fussing so much
about trying to appeal to others.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Don't try to.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Find solace or joy in what other people think. Find
your joy in what God says. And he says he
loves you just the way you are. Okay, Hi, you
focus on trying to understand that, and I'll find a
song for you. By bye, honey, Hi, who is this
(06:52):
this is Mike.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Mike, welcome. What can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
First of all, I just want to say that I
love your program. I've been listening to it since I
was about twelve years old and telling me there's some
really tough times.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
And how old are you now, Mike, I'm eighteen. So
what can I do for you tonight?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'd like to.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Talk to you about the strongest, biggest inspiration in my life,
which has been my mother. Let's see start from the beginning.
When I was four, my mother adopted me and my
two sisters because she wasn't able to have kids of
her own, so she adopted me and my biological sisters
all at the same time.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
And so how many siblings?
Speaker 6 (07:31):
I have two sisters?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Wow? Yeah, So mom took on a whole lot of responsibility.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And I'm guessing if you were in foster care that
means you had come from a bad situation.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Yes, very bad situation.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
So you came with a little bit of baggage, I.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Have to say a lot. For the next couple of
years of my.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Life, I blew them off and just started doing all
types of illegal juvenile acts. And because of her, now
I'm going to college. I have a steady job, I'm working,
I live in my own place, and I haven't touched
any type of drugs or alcohol and months, and most
(08:13):
of them in a year. And because of this woman,
I'm finally living life and loving life instead of dead.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
So what was the turnaround for you? What happened in
your heart that you decided that wasn't the life you wanted.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
She taught me how to love myself. I never knew
what love was, and she came into my life no
matter how hard I tried to push her away.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And what's your mama's name, Christine? I will play a
song to honor her.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
I think that'd be great.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as
much as I enjoy bringing them to you.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
