Take heart–God is greater than your struggle, greater than your strife
When life is hard, obstacles seems overwhelming, you can’t see past the current struggle or situation–take heart! God is greater and more powerful than we can imagine. One of my newest favorite recording artists is Blanca, and her words ring in my ears of her song Greater Is He. (<– click the link to listen) Greater…

When you’re not proud of your choices you want to throw in the towel…
Life is not always easy. And when the going gets tough it IS easy to forget the good things, forget our progress, forget that we’re “human,” get derailed, beat ourselves up mentally and turn on ourselves with nasty self-talk. Why is that? Just yesterday we were proud of ourselves, things were going well, we saw…

God has given you dreams–visions–aspirations. Glimpses of His work played out in your life–of your potential.
So what are you going to do about it? Have you ever heard the saying, “God helps those who help themselves?” Let’s think about this for a second—then ask 1) is it true? And 2) is that statement supported in God’s word–His ultimate guidebook? Does that mean that in order for me to deserve…

“In Christ alone my hope is found…”
I love how God speaks to us through songs and how our bodies and souls are so integrated to respond to music. Given that my name is Melody, it would be easy to surmise that I am musically inclined and wouldn’t be a shame it if wasn’t so? Lol I’m glad it is. I…

The fallacy about Fear…have you been tricked too?
The heart-breaking truth is that every day tragedies happen. Around the globe, in our neighborhoods, and even directly to us. And what are most people’s gut-check responses? Fear. Hate. Revenge. Discord. Violence. Distrust. Do any of these responses ultimately solve the problem? Do any of them change the world or the situation for the better?…

No more ‘playing small’ or apologizing for being YOU!
It’s time to stop filtering yourself. (And when I say you, I also mean me–I’m almost always talking to myself first before I ever give advice to others. No double standards here!) Case in point: I’ve been writing blogs, recipes, health tips and managing my public and private Facebook and other social media for Fit+Faith…

Are you a victim of life or living in the fullness God has available for you?
This is one of my most straight-to-the-heart chats that cuts to the core of the happiness we experience, or lack thereof, in life. I’ve been working through a 30 day personal improvement self-created challenge to really get myself to a better place physically, emotionally and spiritually. Because I know we were created for more. You…

Got caught in an unexpected downpour a mile in to my morning run today. I knew it was humid, but didn’t expect the skies to open up! But let me tell you, it felt so much better afterwards! The humidity had reached a point that the clouds had to form precipitation and release the rain.…

Do you really believe “God will make a way?”
On my walk this morning I was challenged as God put an old song in my head: God will make a way Where there seems to be no way He works in ways we cannot see He will make a way for me He will be my guide Hold me closely to His side With…

“Mine eyes have seen the glory…”
A beautiful fire rainbow appeared over the South Carolina sky this past week, on Sunday August 16, 2015. What a beautiful reminder of God’s covenant with us, made with Noah after the great flood. And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature…
