Hey, i’m melissa!

We all have something in life we’re not prepared for, an unexpected challenge. Most often this struggle isn’t immediately resolved and we grow impatient.

Waiting is often the hardest part, but we don’t get to choose what things in life we wait for nor how long our seasons of waiting last.

I’m here to encourage and guide those who find themselves in a period of uncertainty wondering when their wait will end.

I’m here to help you live in the wait.

How Do I Live in the Wait?

Waiting is something we all experience, and yet, we don’t get to choose the things in life we wait for or how long our seasons of waiting last. We all have desires that are unmet. Places we feel God has not listened, answered, or given us what we want.

Melissa’s warm and down-to-earth approach connects with every person who’s weary and worn in the wait. Join her as she invites you to find shelter under The Truth Tree, rooted in principles to encourage, grow, and refine your heart.

In Living in the Wait:
• Discover hope and healing by inviting God into seasons of waiting
• Find clarity and direction about what to do during the in-between times of life
• Learn simple and practical truths to embrace growth when life doesn’t go as planned

Living in the Wait gives us the confidence and courage in times of waiting, ensuring that our deepest desires can be trusted with the one who gave them to us, Jesus. With practical prompts and unmatched vulnerability, Melissa helps us learn to use the delays in life differently.
