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. ☺️

It’s been a hard week/month. An emotionally draining one. I have been restless, and it’s taken every bit of work to be still. 🌱 Injustice is a pot of rotten beans. I hate it, and I especially hate the feeling of powerlessness. Why is this okay? When is enough, enough? 🌱 But I have found hope in His words, and peace in knowing that He is just as invested in justice, even more so than you and I. Like righteousness, it flows out of Him. He is a God of justice, and He says “vengeance is mine.” 🌱 I am praying for the families that have lost sons this past month for being as God created them, black. It’s maddening. It’s painful. It hurts...so much. I am also praying for the world, because dear Lord, we have a ways to go, but there is no giving up in this fight. #nope. Amos 5:24 🌱 #wateredseed #Jesus #Salvation #Jesusgirl #wordoftheday #gospeltruth #selfreminder #dailyinspiration #desiringGod #perspective #godlyquotes #godlyliving #livingonpurpose #graceandgrit #blacklivesmatter #icantbreathe

This truth anchors my soul, even (and especially) when I am in my feelings. 🌱 #wateredseed #Jesus #Salvation #Jesusgirl #wordoftheday #gospeltruth #selfreminder #dailyinspiration #desiringGod #perspective #godlyquotes #godlyliving #livingonpurpose #graceandgrit

Just incase you forgot, here is your reminder. 🌱 Whatever ‘it’ is, the one that lives in you is GREATER. You have what it takes to OVERCOME, right there in you. 🤎 🌱 #wateredseed #Jesus #Salvation #Jesusgirl #wordoftheday #gospeltruth #selfreminder #dailyinspiration #desiringGod #perspective #godlyquotes #godlyliving #livingonpurpose #graceandgrit

Everytime doubt tries to creep in, I ask myself this question, and the answer is always the same...nope absolutely nothing. Genesis 18:4. 🌱 #wateredseed #Jesus #Salvation #Jesusgirl #wordoftheday #gospeltruth #selfreminder #dailyinspiration #desiringGod #perspective #godlyquotes #godlyliving #livingonpurpose #graceandgrit #faith #life #faithmovesmountains

This week, quiet time for me has looked like cozying up under my blanky, with a cup of lemon water, listening to the @jenniesallen “Get Out Of Your Head” devotional. 🌱 It’s been a real kick in the gut. A much needed reminder that “to live is Christ”, and that my contentment is found laser focused on Him, in service to others (in His name). She reminded me of something I already knew, but forgot — it’s not about me. 🌱 But something about these words hit a home run for me. I think it’s because I see (all the more) just how much I need Jesus. 🤎 🌱 #wateredseed #Jesus #Salvation #Jesusgirl #wordoftheday #gospeltruth #selfreminder #dailyinspiration #desiringGod #perspective #godlyquotes #godlyliving #livingonpurpose #graceandgrit #jennieallen
