One could argue that the world doesn't need another poem, song, or book. But what the world DOES need are more fully alive people. That describes Melissa when she writes, and her longing in this work is to inspire others to be more fully alive themselves. To lean into more of the person they were created to be, including their unique calling to be creative in this world. Each poem includes a blank page where the reader is encouraged to create and respond themselves, whether with words written or with images drawn or painted. Or maybe your creative medium doesn't fit on a page, and that's wonderful, too! You are invited on this deep dive into life experience, beginning with the death of her grandmother, and including reflections on nature, relationships, and the heart. You'll find prayers filled with longing, gratitude, immense need, and abundant authenticity. Our prayer for you through this journey is that you will encounter the deep love of Jesus, hope, and the knowledge that you have never been alone.
