Who doesn’t love a good redemption story?

Hi! I’m Melissa—a wife, mother, author, and follower of Jesus Christ who has walked through a lifetime of chronic illness. My journey has mostly been about the pursuit of joy amid the monotony of day-to-day life, punctuated by baby steps in obedience, major setbacks, and a miraculous healing.

My passion is to encourage women who struggle with chronic illness and to help them connect with Jesus on a deeper, more intimate level, whether that happens through story, testimony, or prayer.
