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

On this day, 5 years ago, we stood in front of our first house and snapped this photo - the last photo we’d take in front of our house in South Dakota. A few days later, we moved to Springfield. This picture brings back so many memories like a flood. Today is National Spouses Day, and there are very few photos that show just how supportive Dan is than this one. He followed me across the country because he believed in me. He left his comfort zone to encourage me to be my best. That sums up Dan pretty well. He does everything in his power to love me well. I couldn’t be more thankful to be his wife. 💚

Tomorrow night, Moms in the Making - Springfield will kick off again after a winter break. Women will gather in my home and do life together. We will share our journeys, pray together and encourage each other. I love this verse, because it’s such a sweet reminder that the Lord will be there with us!! If you are trying to grow your family, it’s not to late to join us!⁣ ⁣ If you don’t live in the Springfield area, that’s okay! There are groups all over the nation you could join! We even have a couple virtual groups (including a Spanish speaking group)! ⁣ ⁣ If you’d like more information, please let me know! I’d love to help connect you with a group! ⁣ ⁣ #momsinthemaking #momsinthemakingspringfield #ttc #1in8 #1in4 #infertility #pcos #miscarriage #adoption #infantloss #secondaryinfertility #fertilitytreatments #iui #ivf #godisincontrol #andifnotheisstillgood #heisfaithful #takecouragemyheart #hesinthewaiting #believingformiracles

Happy birthday Amanda! So thankful for you and our sweet friendship! Wishing I could teleport to you and hug you today! Praying this next year is filled with blessings!!! If you see my friend today, please give her a hug from me!

I was pretty grateful to leave 2019 behind. It was a year of deep disappointment and a lot of growth in the secret place that hurt. Last night, as I closed my eyes I couldn’t help but be excited because we were finally done with 2019! ⁣ ⁣ In 2014, Dan and I started a thankful jar. During the year we write what we are thankful for and stick it in the jar and then on January 1 we read all the slips. ⁣ ⁣ I couldn’t help but smile today as we read the slips from 2019. Even in the midst of so much hard, we filled the jar more than we have in years past. Such a sweet reminder that He is working all around us, even when we can’t see the big picture. ⁣ ⁣ Okay 2019, maybe you weren’t as bad as I thought! ⁣ ⁣ #livingborderless #faithblogger #christianlife #womenintheword #womenoffaith #ttccommunity #ttcsisters #heisfaithful #godisincontrol #takecouragemyheart #hesinthewaiting #believingformiracles #kingdommindset #cultivatewhatmatters #shereadstruth #confidentlyrooted

We’re ready for you 2020.

Tonight I’m sharing the top five books I read in 2019 on my blog! ⁣ ⁣ Check out the link in my bio to read more! ⁣ ⁣ #livingborderless #faithblogger #christianlife #womenintheword #womenoffaith #ttccommunity #ttcsisters #heisfaithful #godisincontrol #takecouragemyheart #hesinthewaiting #believingformiracles #kingdommindset #cultivatewhatmatters #shereadstruth #confidentlyrooted #goodreads #readwithme #groundedintruth #growinginhim #confidentlyreading2019

Rape, abortion, promiscuity, abusive relationships and divorce are not topics we often talk about. However, this book covered them all. What I loved about this story is the reminder that nothing - absolutely nothing - is too big for the Father to forgive. More than forgiveness, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - too broken for Him to redeem. Such a good book! ⁣ ⁣ #womenintheword #goodreads #readwithme #womenoffaith #groundedintruth #growinginhim #confidentlyreading2019

A full day of birthday adventures with this guy is just what my heart needed. 💚
