Welcome to my blog!

My purpose in creating this blog is to offer inspiration and encouragement to anyone who desires to follow God by living out his or her faith.

I write from the perspective of someone who started out with a complete and childlike faith at the tender age of 4; then lost that faith through various trials by the age of 17.  God restored my faith, but the damage and pain inflicted through the battles lost has meant decades of healing.  Now, I believe it is time to move forward in faith to use those lessons to help others to grow in their faith as well.

I would like to share some of the lessons, insights, and practical applications God has provided through the Holy Spirit, His Word, and the Love that Endures Forever.  He has revealed Himself to me through Bible studies, music, His Holy Word, other people, prayer, and even our pets!

I have included a list of Bible studies I’ve gone through and the purpose of the study, music I’ve found inspirational, and of course, my story through the blog posts.

The most I can hope for is you will find God speaking to you directly and be encouraged!

By His Grace,

Melissa

For in it God’s righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith. Romans 1:17 (HCSB)

In every situation take the shield of faith, and with it you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Ephesians 6:16 (HCSB)
