small town where he lived now.
The more they talked, Kurt could see that her high fashion, city girl appearance was really just the outer surface of the tender, kindhearted woman that Chelsea really was. Underneath the California girl look was a sweet country girl with a big heart.
He realized there was a lot of depth to Chelsea that he'd never found in another woman before. All of the women that he had spent time with in the past were shallow and superficial. The groupies were always looking for cheap thrills, and he was happy to entertain them for a night. His selfishness had caused him to forget about the important elements in a strong relationship.
Kurt realized that Chelsea was a higher caliber woman than any of the women from his old life, and he was anxious to get to know her better. He wanted to hear about her hopes and dreams, and talk with her about the beauty of life.
Kurt wanted to tell Chelsea about his past, especially because her father had such an impact in helping him to find God again. Taking a deep breath, he decided to share a little bit, and tell her about his experiences and getting to know her father.
" Chelsea , I want you to know how much your father meant to me. I believe that he saved my life, because he helped me to find God again. When I moved away from here, I pursued my music career and made some very bad choices. Those choices created a mess of my life, and it was a very dark time for me. Without going into detail, I found myself in a terrible situation and was forced to move back in with my parents to try to get my life straightened out again.
"After moving back to Idaho , my parents helped me to get cleaned up and I started going back to church. But, I still felt disconnected and without purpose in my life. One day, your dad knocked on my door and invited me to help with the youth choir. That moment was a turning point in my life, because he taught me the beauty of giving up my own selfish motives to focus on charity and service instead.
"Jerry was a mentor to me, he helped me to understand religion on a personal level, and I was able to get my life turned around. He was always there to talk with, and we spent quite a bit of time together. Jerry taught me the true principles of living a Christ-like life, and I will be forever grateful for the many ways that he helped me. His impact in my life is one of the reasons I am so motivated to keep the radio station going."
Chelsea could see that Kurt was being genuine, and his eyes began to water as he talked about her father. He held back the tears, but she could hear the tenderness in his voice as he spoke.
She replied tenderly, "My father was a great man. He taught me a lot of great lessons throughout my life. I’m happy to hear that he was able to help you through your hard times, it sounds like you’re a stronger person because of it."
"Yes, I can honestly say that I am a changed man. I am far from perfect - which you can attest to after the way I treated you last week. But, your father's example taught me that there is more to life than just money and worldly pleasures. He showed me a deeper meaning, and helped me to discover my life’s mission - to share uplifting music in order to help people find hope and peace in life. I feel as though I am living my purpose each time I get in front of the choir to conduct a song."
"Thanks for sharing your story with me. I can see that you’re very passionate about the choir and the radio station. I wish there was more that I could do to help, but I feel as though my hands are tied because of the financial problems."
"I know what you mean," Kurt agreed. "The only way things would ever work would be by a miracle from God. I want to believe that God could save the radio station, but my faith is weak because I don't see how it's possible."
The conversation flowed easily, and neither of them realized how much time had passed. Chelsea looked at her watch and was surprised to see that it was one
