“Melissa spoke on a team business call and was outstanding! She delivered her message in ways that were relatable and easy to understand for my team. Was very engaging and kept everyone interested in the conversation. Everyone went away feeling filled and enlightened after our call. I am very appreciative for Melissa taking the time to pour understanding and hope into my team.”

One of my favorite things to do at events is connect. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. ⁠ "Waiting can be so hard, but Melissa teaches us how to wait well, because she’s been there.” Thank you, @adamaweber, for sharing such gracious words about the book, Living in the Wait. You reflect Jesus every day! ❤⁠ To squeeze every lesson out of it⁠ Whoop, whoop! I'm SO excited to be a featured speaker at the 2023 Wildly You Women’s Summit hosted by @livewildlyyou! Join me on October 6th in Brandon, SD for a day of restoration, self discovery and connection in a beautiful country setting. For reals, the event is hosted at The Big Red Barn and it's amazing! ⁠ More like 30 seconds 😉 Allow God to change the way you see yourself and your wait.
