I\u2019ve never been shy. And I\u2019m definitely not shy about my faith. I grew up in the Bible Belt, in Oklahoma. I\u2019m a Christian and proud of it. I\u2019ve sung about it, mentioned it on talk shows and it\u2019s been an important part of some of the characters I\u2019ve played.<\/p>\n

In the new ABC show Good Christian Belles<\/em>, about a group of women who grew up together in a Dallas church, I play Carlene. She\u2019s a bit of a villain and stirs things up, which is certainly not me (it\u2019s just acting, okay?).<\/p>\n

But just because I\u2019m frank about my faith doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019ve got everything all figured out. I struggle too. We all do. It\u2019s kind of like developing your vocal range when you\u2019re a singer. You\u2019ve got to experience the highs and lows in life to develop your spiritual range and grow in your faith. Stick with me here and I\u2019ll tell you what I mean.<\/p>\n

Keep asking the questions.<\/strong>
\nMy Grandma Chenoweth was one of the most fervent, loving Christians I\u2019ve ever known. She had friends in every denomination. Or as we used to say back home, she was a Southern Baptist who played canasta with the Methodists and dominoes with the Church of Christ-ers. In every tough situation she\u2019d do what I\u2019d call a Jesus test to figure out what was the right thing to do. And this was years before WWJD came along.<\/p>\n

When Grandma died, her friends kept bringing us food to comfort us, lemon bars and shoofly pie and every casserole known to man (church-lady cuisine is something I sure miss out in Hollywood). Later we went through her things: her jewelry, her hats, her purses, her handkerchiefs. But her Bible was the real treasure.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d always heard that you could tell how important the word of God was to a person by looking at their Bible. Grandma\u2019s had a crocheted cover she made herself (it needed a cover because it had gotten so worn and dog-eared over the years) and had notes in her handwriting on practically every page.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t understand this verse and need some help,” Grandma would write or “I tried to do this and it\u2019s hard for me” or “This is my cross to bear” or “I need to pray about this” or “I\u2019m not sure I\u2019m in 100 percent agreement here.” Sometimes she had questions for her minister, sometimes for God, and all of her questions and notes showed what a real relationship she had with the Lord. Nothing was taken for granted. Belief was something she worked at and lived.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got my own questions for God, everything from “Why is forgiveness so hard?” and “Why do people get cancer?” to “Where on earth do the mates to my socks disappear to?” Sure, I\u2019d love to know the answers one day, but I learned from Grandma that what matters is to keep asking the questions. Write them down, talk to friends and to your minister, and pray your way through them.<\/p>\n

Pray big.<\/strong>
\nI pray all the time. Sometimes I think I pray too much, if that\u2019s possible. I pray for my mom and my dad, my brother and my sister-in-law. I pray if I have to travel (I have the worst travel luck and I just hate to fly). I pray for my friends. I pray for complete strangers.<\/p>\n

Jesus said we\u2019re supposed to pray for those who mistreat us. Not long ago I was feeling mighty mistreated by a flight attendant who bumped me from the seat I\u2019d bought (I got delayed in security) and then wouldn\u2019t help me get my bag in the overhead bin (hey, when you\u2019re not even five feet tall, it\u2019s hard to reach up there!). I told her I\u2019d pray for her. Lord knows, we both needed it.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s really important is to make your prayers big, to ask for things that go deep and seem impossible. You might even get more than you ask for. I\u2019ll tell you a story:<\/p>\n

Some years ago in the town of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, there was a young couple who had a son and longed for a daughter to round out their family. Then the wife was told she needed to have a hysterectomy and wouldn\u2019t be able to conceive again. She and her husband put their names on every adoption list they could find but hadn\u2019t gotten any calls. She knew the wait would be long, maybe forever. Still, she prayed and prayed for a little girl. The day came when she checked into the hospital for surgery.<\/p>\n

At that very same hospital, a young unmarried flight attendant (no connection to the one I just mentioned, of course) was about to give birth to a baby she planned to give up for adoption. Her doctor had helped line up a loving couple to adopt and raise the baby. Then that wife discovered to her surprise that she was pregnant. “Please let the baby go to another couple,” she told her doctor. The ob-gyn consulted the young couple from Broken Arrow. “You mean we could have our new baby now?” they asked. Absolutely, they were told. And wouldn\u2019t you know, that baby turned out to be a girl?<\/p>\n

“I went into the hospital to have surgery,” my mother liked to tell me, “and I came home with you.” I marvel at how many people\u2019s prayers were answered: my parents\u2019, the couple who was originally going to adopt the baby, my birth mother\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Leave it up to God.<\/strong>
\nRemember I said I have trouble flying? Did I mention it\u2019s partly because I get migraines and I have this disease with a big fancy name called M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s that makes motion sickness seem like a walk in the park?<\/p>\n

The first time it hit me was 15 years ago. I was in New York City, rehearsing a Broadway musical called Steel Pier<\/em>. I woke up that morning with a ringing in my ears, got out of bed and landed on the floor. The ground was tilting at a 90-degree angle and the walls were coming at me. I crawled to the bathroom and got very sick. So sick I was convinced I had a brain tumor or a stroke.<\/p>\n

I peeled myself off of the bathroom floor and called my mom. She came to New York and went with me to countless doctors\u2019 appointments. I had all kinds of tests. Nothing showed up in a CT-scan. The doctors ruled out brain tumors and strokes, but they couldn\u2019t quite figure out the diagnosis. They decided it was some sort of vertigo and it would go away. It did, but then it came back six months later. And again and again after that.<\/p>\n

How could I go on performing with my ears ringing and the floor rolling like the deck of a storm-tossed boat? I prayed hard about it, and I recalled something my beloved voice teacher, Florence Birdwell, said to me back at Oklahoma City University when I had strep throat and wanted to back out of a competition.<\/p>\n

“You can\u2019t make excuses in the real world,” she said. “People will have more respect for you if you sing through it. Just do your best.” So that\u2019s what I did in show after show like You\u2019re a Good Man, Charlie Brown<\/em> and the incredibly popular Wicked<\/em> and as Miss Noodle on Sesame Street<\/em> and in my own short-lived TV show, Kristin<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Finally I got a diagnosis: M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s disease. According to the medical literature, it\u2019s “an inner ear disturbance that causes vertigo,” which sounds so much milder than it is. There is no cure or relief with the possible exception of a surgical procedure called a cochleosacculotomy (another fancy word). I can\u2019t risk that because it could cause hearing loss.<\/p>\n

So I do what I can to control M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s without surgery. I limit the sodium in my diet. I sleep on an incline (you can imagine how popular this makes me with hotel staffs). I take anti-nausea medication. When I\u2019m feeling really sick, I call up my mom and my six aunts and ask them to pray for me, sometimes right there on the phone.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a magnet on my fridge that says, “Good morning, this is God. You don\u2019t need to worry about all your problems. I will be handling them today.” That\u2019s what I do with the terrible brain-churning, room-spinning, think-you\u2019re-gonna-die problem of M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s. If the misery is on a scale of one to 10, I\u2019ve discovered I can still perform at a six or seven.<\/p>\n

Doctors have asked, “How do you do it?” How do you walk onstage, let alone dance, if the ground is swaying beneath you and you think you\u2019re going to throw up? I\u2019ll ask, “Why me?” a hundred times. I\u2019ll say, “This is my cross to bear.” In the end, though, I leave the whole thing in God\u2019s hands. I just hand it over and let it go.<\/p>\n

\n

One of my favorite Bible stories is when Jacob wrestles with the angel. He won\u2019t let go until he gets the angel\u2019s blessing. “You seem so happy” people say to me, and it\u2019s true, I\u2019m usually upbeat. Still, staying positive takes work. It doesn\u2019t always come easy. I get depressed, I gripe, I get into a perfectionist\u2019s funk.<\/p>\n

And yet I\u2019m thankful every day. For my family, my friends, my career, my voice, even for setbacks and struggles like this nasty disease that I wish would go away. I believe in wrestling that angel to the ground until I can claim my blessing.<\/p>\n

Like my grandma, I have lots of questions, but I\u2019ve never doubted that God is listening to me. I know I\u2019ll get the answers to most of my questions someday\u2014and maybe I\u2019ll even find out where all of my missing socks are.<\/p>\n
