A Quiet Shift (And Why I’m Pressing Pause on Regular Content)
Hi sweet friend,

I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’ve been reading for a while or just recently found this space, I want to share something important about the direction I’m sensing for this blog.

Over the past few weeks, the Lord has been gently inviting me into a slower rhythm—a season of being intentional, quiet, and deeply present.

Not because anything is wrong. Not because I’m walking away from writing or teaching.

But because I believe He’s asking me to step back from regular content creation for now so that I can focus more fully on becoming the woman He wants me to be—not just the one who teaches others how to be.

I want to be deeply rooted in Him. I want to be the wife my husband needs me to be, and the mom that God has created me to be for my children. 

I want to serve well in the in-person relationships and ministry opportunities He’s already entrusted to me. And I want to listen more than I speak for a little while.

So what does that mean here?

It means I won’t be publishing blog posts on a regular schedule for now.

I may still share things here and there as the Lord leads—especially if I feel called to speak into something specific. But I’m laying down the pressure to keep up with consistent posting, and choosing instead to abide, trust, and follow His pace.

If you’ve been blessed by this space in the past, thank you. Truly. It’s a joy and honor to serve. That hasn’t changed.

I’m still here—and still praying that everything I’ve written, and anything I may write in the future, always points you back to the Word, back to truth, and back to the One who never changes.

Please know that one of my greatest passions is guiding wives to learn how to study God's Word independently, so they are equipped for every season of marriage and life. If you need help with Bible study, if you need prayer, or if you just need some encouragement, please don't hesitate even a moment to reach out to me. 

I'm still here, and I still want to walk alongside you.

With peace and purpose,
Melissa 💕

This is my story!

 
As a Christian, it can be embarrassing to admit I've been married three times. 

As a woman who feels called to teach about marriage and submission, it can be almost unthinkable that God would put this on my heart after two failed marriages.

But God often uses the broken to accomplish His purposes - and He does not clothe us in shame, but in righteousness.

I have lived the life of the controlling wife. I have lived the life of the controlled wife

Neither brings the blessings God has for marriage.

Through my mistakes and failures, I've learned what submission is, and what it is not.

I am learning and growing every day in my role as a biblically submissive wife, a bonus mom, and a homemaker who cares for her home and family in joyful wellness!

Join me on my journey as I share some of my lessons, tips, and ideas to equip you to live in joyful submission and wellness!
