About Mel.

I am a tough nut to crack! Nah not really…lol! I am simply a woman living life on the edge, learning daily the simple yet complex languages of love, faith, hope and everything in between as I walk hand in hand with my God. I’ve been told I’m kinda cool, and you can trust that I wear my ‘kinda’ coolness like stacked gold chains. Call me icy. Nah. Please don’t. Mel works just fine. ☺️

A lot is happening, and the lot that is happening is pretty destabilizing. The last few days have been wildly interesting, and ya it’s enough to shake anyone up. 🌱 This morning, I heard the spirit of God say (I read in my Bible), β€œπ“Žπ‘œπ“Š π“ˆπ‘’π‘’, π‘’π“‹π‘’π“‡π“Ž 𝒸𝒽𝒾𝓁𝒹 π‘œπ’» π’’π‘œπ’Ή π‘œπ“‹π‘’π“‡π’Έπ‘œπ“‚π‘’π“ˆ 𝓉𝒽𝑒 π“Œπ‘œπ“‡π“π’Ή, π’»π‘œπ“‡ π“Žπ‘œπ“Šπ“‡ 𝒻𝒢𝒾𝓉𝒽 (𝒾𝓃 π’₯π‘’π“ˆπ“Šπ“ˆ π’žπ’½π“‡π’Ύπ“ˆπ“‰) π’Ύπ“ˆ 𝓉𝒽𝑒 π“‹π’Ύπ’Έπ“‰π‘œπ“‡π’Ύπ‘œπ“Šπ“ˆ π“…π‘œπ“Œπ‘’π“‡ 𝓉𝒽𝒢𝓉 π“‰π“‡π’Ύπ“Šπ“‚π“…π’½π“ˆ π‘œπ“‹π‘’π“‡ 𝓉𝒽𝑒 π“Œπ‘œπ“‡π“π’Ή.” 1 John 5:4 🌱 I am vigilant, and taking all necessary precautions, because there is wisdom in obedience. But the above verse is why I refuse to be pressed by what is happening, and what has kept me from feeding on fear. 🌱 I am washing my hands regularly, but also washing my mind regularly; renewing in God’s word. I have managed to make a habit out of not touching my face, but I have also made it a point to guard my heart. I listen to the news to keep informed, but I have not made it my daily bread. 🌱 I may not understand, but I am standing on God’s word. π’₯π‘œπ“Ž π’Έπ‘œπ“‚π‘’π“ˆ 𝒾𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝑒 π“‚π‘œπ“‡π“ƒπ’Ύπ“ƒπ‘”.

There is no better time than now to abide in His presence. 🌱 There is (the God given gift of) wisdom in taking the necessary precautions to be safe, but here in lies the opportunity to work out your faith, and refuse to fear. Fear is NOT of God. 🌱 Educate yourself, but also guard your heart. Set your boundaries and choose not to buy into what fear is selling. 🌱 We serve a living God. Let His light be seen in your talk, but also in your walk. 🌱 Stay safe. Pray, and trust that this too shall pass. 🀎 🌱 #wateredseed #wordoftheday #gospeltruth #selfreminder #dailyinspiration #desiringGod #perspective #godlyquotes #godlyliving #livingonpurpose #wisdom #faith #graceandgrit #coronavirus
I have been complaining a lot lately. A lot more than usual, and yea, that’s because this season of my life could do with a little bit of seasoning. Maybe a little more than a bit actually. 🌱 But here is the beautiful thing about the Holy Spirit, he guides God’s children into all (of God’s) truth. The truth he convicted me with this AM I found in Phil 4:4 (TPT), 𝐡𝑒 π’Έπ’½π‘’π‘’π“‡π’»π“Šπ“ π“Œπ’Ύπ“‰π’½ π’Ώπ‘œπ“Žπ‘œπ“Šπ“ˆ π’Έπ‘’π“π‘’π’·π“‡π’Άπ“‰π’Ύπ‘œπ“ƒ 𝒾𝓃 π‘’π“‹π‘’π“‡π“Ž π“ˆπ‘’π’Άπ“ˆπ‘œπ“ƒ π‘œπ’» 𝓁𝒾𝒻𝑒.

But the mature me knows this to be true. Joy can be found in every season; and the secret is in the latter part of the verse β€” π’»π‘œπ“‡ π“Žπ‘œπ“Š 𝒢𝓇𝑒 π“Šπ“ƒπ’Ύπ“‰π‘’π’Ή π“Œπ’Ύπ“‰π’½ 𝓉𝒽𝑒 π’œπ“ƒπ‘œπ’Ύπ“ƒπ“‰π‘’π’Ή π‘œπ“ƒπ‘’! Note exclamation for emphasis.πŸ™ƒ 🌱 I don’t know what season of life you are in, but know this, your joy is found not in the things we hope for, but in the one who is our hope β€” Jesus. 🌱 #wateredseed #wordoftheday #gospeltruth #selfreminder #dailyinspiration #desiringGod #perspective #godlyquotes #godlyliving #livingonpurpose #graceandgrit #seasons
In a world filled with options, choose to walk the narrow path of contentment. You may not have it all, and you may very well have it all. In both seasons, let joy abide. Aspire for greater heights, but not at the expense of your soul. Yes, your peace is worth more than gold, and yes, what you have (in the) now is always enough. 🌱 #wateredseed #wordoftheday #gospeltruth #selfreminder #dailyinspiration #desiringGod #perspective #godlyquotes #godlyliving #livingonpurpose #graceandgrit #contentment #lifehacks
There is no mistake, sin or oops-y under the sun that hasn’t already been covered by the blood of Jesus. Why stay in bondage, when you have been set free? 🌱 Don’t let your mistakes be the reason you live life unfulfilled. You are confirmed worthy. Your purpose remains, no matter how many wrong turns you make. His goodness is not dependent on you. He is good regardless, and ever ready, willing and able. 🌱 #wateredseed #wordoftheday #gospeltruth #selfreminder #dailyinspiration #desiringGod #perspective #godlyquotes #godlyliving #purposedriven #livingonpurpose #free #lisabevere
A friend and I were having a heart to heart today, talking about relationships and love. We talked about how detrimental romanticizing love can be because the sacrificial aspects are so often excluded. 🌱 I believe that at its core, love is sacrifice. π’Ÿπ‘œπ’Ύπ“ƒπ‘” 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒽𝒢𝓇𝒹 π“‰π’½π’Ύπ“ƒπ‘”π“ˆ. Things that kill the flesh, shift perspectives and disrupt routines. It could be something as β€˜simple’ as saying NO to a once in a life time opportunity for the sake of family time, or as hard as giving an organ to, or taking care of a parent that chronically abused you. Then, there is everything in between. All the things in the ebbs and flow of life that will no doubt test you beyond what you thought possible. 🌱 I often have to remind myself that love isn’t meant to be comfortable. It is meant to stretch me beyond the walls of self. It is meant to be light in darkness. Hope in hopelessness. Peace in chaos. Humility in triumph, and compassion in pain. It is also meant to be rest in the wait, and patience in pursuit, forgiveness even when it hurts. It is joy in the valley, and gratitude on the mountain top. 🌱 Love is so much more than nice words and gifts. Love dwells, it remains, is always present, and is never afraid to give in exchange for nothing. 🌱 Love blooms in expression, in word and deed (service). Love is stable and consistent. It covers a multitude of sins. 🌱 This is my why. Why I cannot be without God. He is love. His love makes me wholeβ€” the fruits of which those around me get to enjoy. 🌱 #wateredseed #wordoftheday #gospeltruth #selfreminder #dailyinspiration #desiringGod #perspective #godlyquotes #godlyliving #purposedriven #livingonpurpose
