Welcome!

Hi! My name is Melissa! I am married to my college sweetheart, Dan. We live in Springfield, Missouri with one very cute (and fat) cat. This blog is a window into my heart. I share the good, the bad, the ugly and how God is using all of it for His glory! Grab a cup of coffee (or whatever your drink of choice is) and let's do some life together!

Life on Instagram

💚 He’s just the best 💚

I have dreamed of hearing babies call me “Mama” for as long as I remember. For ten years, Dan and I have prayed and waited for our sweet miracles. For many years the wait was hard, heavy and almost impossible. ⁣ ⁣⁣ However, nearly four years ago, I found @momsinthemaking and everything changed. This group taught me (and honestly continues to teach me) so much about who God is and how much He loves me. This revelation has impacted more than just my wait to be a Mama. It’s marked me for life. I am a different woman because of this group. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Not only am I different, but I have also formed lifelong friendships because of the connections found in this group. Friendships that are about so much more than our desire to have babies. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Do I still have hard days? Absolutely! However, the days come fewer and far between. Also, I now have tools and friendships that support me through those days. The hard days don’t sink me anymore! ⁣⁣ On October 2-3, Moms in the Making will host the fourth annual conference... and I want to invite YOU! Tickets are on sale now, and there is a Black Friday coupon code that makes the tickets the best price ever! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Head to the Moms in the Making website to learn more about the conference and purchase your ticket. (Or send me a message with your questions) Make sure to use code "blackfriday" to get a regular ticket for $125 or a VIP ticket for $195. Hurry, the coupon code is only valid through Sunday (December 1) at midnight ct!⁣⁣

Kingdom Winds recently shared an article I wrote about a time when my husband's love made me feel brave. It filled me up with encouragement and a sense of boldness, and it made me stop and think about the Father's love. What if Gods affection towards us has the same effect?

Our word of the year in 2018 was “rooted”. In a lot of ways 2018 was a super hard year, however God taught me so much about intimacy with Him! When I saw that this book was called “Rooted” I knew I had to have it. ⁣ ⁣ This book opened with a reminder I hadn’t thought about in a long time. David knew he would become king for twenty years before he actually became king. Think about that for a minute. David knew he would be in a place of authority, however for twenty years he waited. For a lot of those years, he faced extremely hard situations. I can’t imagine waiting for something so big for so long.⁣ ⁣ In this book, Banning Liebscher talks about how God used those twenty years of David’s life to establish deep roots. The book provides guidance into being fully grounded and established in Christ. When we establish those roots, we can produce fruit that lasts. ⁣I read most of the pages of this book in a hospital waiting room, and I found myself incredibly grateful for the roots God established in 2018. ⁣ This book will step on your toes a little (or a lot) but it will also encourage you. It’s a reminder of how important it is to let God establish a root system in our lives. Establishing roots positions us to influence the world around us. ⁣ ⁣ I highly recommend this one friends! ⁣ ⁣ #womenoftheword #goodreads #readwithme #womenoffaith #groundedintruth #growinginhim #confidentlyreading2019

Several months ago, I started knitting a baby blanket. This isn’t uncommon. It seems lately, baby blankets have been my knitting project of choice. Most times when I start a baby blanket, I have a just been told a dear friend is pregnant. Apparently I celebrate pregnancy announcements with yarn because usually, after hearing the sweet news, I go to buy yarn for a new blanket. As I knit, I pray for the pregnant Mama and the sweet miracle she is carrying. I pray for peace. I pray for health. I thank God for a full term healthy pregnancy.⁣ ⁣ To read more, check out the link in my bio! ⁣ ⁣ #livingborderless #faithblogger #christianlife #womenintheword #womenoffaith #ttccommunity #ttcsisters #heisfaithful #godisincontrol #takecouragemyheart #hesinthewaiting #believingformiracles #kingdommindset #cultivatewhatmatters #shereadstruth #confidentlyrooted ⁣

Today my Mooma is having surgery. Please join me in praying for a smooth procedure, wisdom for the doctors, safe travels to and from the hospital and a quicker than expected recovery. Thank you friends!! Today is going to be a good day! 💚

Sweet friends. 💚

I rarely ever travel by myself anymore, and it seems that anytime I do I have some silly story about something I forgot to do simply because I’m usually not the only one that has to remember all the things. A few weeks ago I traveled for work and, sure enough, I have one of those “silly stories” to share with you. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ To read more, check out the link in my bio. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #livingborderless #faithblogger #christianlife #womenintheword #womenoffaith #ttccommunity #ttcsisters #heisfaithful #godisincontrol #takecouragemyheart #hesinthewaiting #believingformiracles #kingdommindset #cultivatewhatmatters #shereadstruth #confidentlyrooted ⁣⁣
