Get Ready, Get Set, Go!

I am getting ready and getting set to go! We leave for Maryland in a couple of days.

My girl and I are going together. She will sing and I will speak. (I'm singing, too.)

My girl and me...5/10
LaDon & Steve
We'll be staying with them. LaDon and I go waaaaay back. She and Steve are a great couple. Steve is the pastor of the church where I'll be speaking. He has invited me to speak with him in the Sunday a.m. services.

My boy, Avery and me...6/10
I'll be missing this boy while I'm gone.
And this man.

My One Fine Man and me...7/10

Sleepy Head Ted
 And this pup.

This boy I never leave behind because he is always in my heart. But I'm always missing him.


Andrew and his passion ~ skateboarding
Today marks nine months since Andrew left Earth for Heaven.
Nine Months.

  3. Melanie, I pray that the Lord would prepare the hearts of the people who will hear your story. May the Lord give you His words to speak and that you will have such a peace about this. Andrew is always in your heart wherever you go. Your speaking is also Andrew's ministry.

    Thinking of you and praying for you Melanie.

    Love,
    Debbie

  8. I'll be praying too Melanie, for each one who hears you speak and both of you sing, and for your own hearts as you minister, that He would also minister to you.

  12. So happy to see you going with your daughter. I have a boy Andrew's age who likes skateboarding as well. I admire your strength and I know it is the Lord holding you all up. When I lost my brother many years ago, I felt I lost my mother as well. It was hard to get her going again after the trauma even though her faith had always been great. She has since passed on to be with the Lord and there are no resentments because I know how difficult it is to lose a child. Even so, It's good to see you strengthening your relationships with those you love. God bless! You are always in my prayers and know that you and Andrew are a great inspiration. God bless, Lisa

  16. First off, I'm LOVING your new look!! The blog is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Next, I'm excited, thrilled and so blessed about your first speaking engagement after so long.

    I'll continue praying you through, and also for the ladies that will hear your words. I just know their lives will never be the same.

    Breakthroughs are coming for many who will attend. (yes Lord!)

    My prayer for you right now:


    And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8

    Love you♥
