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.

While my circumstances are much different than when I first learned about this week, it doesn’t change how important it is to me. Infertility will always be a part of my story. Therefore, I want to continue raising awareness and having discussions to help others navigate infertility. ⁠ •TEDx• Recently, the opportunity to apply to be a speaker at my local communities @tedxsiouxfalls stage opened up so I applied. Most of us are aware that being a @ted speaker is a pretty big deal!⁠ •⁠Refined Purpose•⁠ We live in a world that does everything it can to beg, buy, or bypass our way out of waiting. It prides itself on providing things instantly. ⁠ •⁠Mourn•⁠ I was talking to a pastor recently who shared a book study he was reading about sorrow. We reflected on some current happenings and he shared, “We all want someone to mourn with us.”⁠
