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.
