To my fellow truth-seekers, I would say this: Be careful what you ask for. You just might get it. Often, the truth is more painful than what your perceived reality has always been. But no matter how painful, the truth is what sets you free and allows you to pick yourself up, dust off the… Continue reading Hide and Seek – When Everything You’ve Based Your Life on Falls Apart
Author: Melanie Jeanne
I am the daughter of the MOST HIGH GOD, I am forgiven, I am free to dance (though you may want to move your toes!), and I am forever loved and adored by the One I worship, the Lover of my soul. I am mommy to three angels, who light up the world around them everywhere they go.
Free-falling
... in a season where my deepest, most core beliefs have been knocked out from underneath me, block by block, piece by blessed piece. This is when knowing who we are in Christ is so vitally important. If I did not know that I am a daughter of the most high God, I would be… Continue reading Free-falling
Be Salty. Be Sweet. Shine!
7:20 a.m. YIKES!! I fly out of bed, run around throwing on lights - "TEN MINUTES!!! WE HAVE TO BE OUT IN TEN MINUTES!" Everyone jumps, runs, dresses, grabs, gets to the car, to school on time. Phew! On with the day. To work. Times need to be entered. Internet won't cooperate. Or maybe it's… Continue reading Be Salty. Be Sweet. Shine!

Am I For Real? How to not be a hypocrite
The gifts and the callings of God are without repentance. If He has anointed me to write, I will write, and He will use me. But if I cannot treat people with kindness, value, and worth, if I have a habit of hurting or ignoring others, or treating others as if they are beneath me;… Continue reading Am I For Real? How to not be a hypocrite
Just… Shut Up.
My mouth. Ohhh, my mouth. When I was a little girl, my grandma taught me how to use a needle and thread; how I wish I could take a needle and thread and use it to sew up my own pie-hole. Yes, my very own open trap that doesn’t seem to know when to keep… Continue reading Just… Shut Up.
My take on the Love chapter
God's Word says, "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love,… Continue reading My take on the Love chapter
Love U Mom
Funniest thing... Friday morning, returning from a memorial service (not funny), trudging up the stairs with a heavy heart, I get to the top, open the door, and there are my kids, blocking my way. “You can’t come in!” What? “No no no, please, you can’t come in!! Go away!” Seriously? So I asked if… Continue reading Love U Mom
Where’s my Fairy Godmother?
I give up. I do. I am done. Will somebody please come to my house (while nobody is home), light it on fire (just the inside), and then put it out after the entire interior of my house is gutted? Oh, and let me get out my photos, Bible, and laptop first. The jewelry was… Continue reading Where’s my Fairy Godmother?

Sweet sisters... be very aware of the enemy of your soul - he roams around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour... ...and when he finds a willing victim, he devours her confidence, her dreams, her ambitions, her goals, and her belief in her God-given talents and abilities.
