Some Pretty Good News!

“God always acts on behalf of those who wait on Him”

Being a new artist has been quite an experience. Through this journey (recording, releasing my album, releasing my single) I knew I had to trust the process. There were SO many days I just wanted to quit and move on to something else. But deep inside, I knew I needed to complete it and finish well. So to the best of my ability, through many dangers, toils and snares (kinda-sorta) that's what I did.

I'm the melancholy type of artist (lots of emotion haha!) It was so exciting to complete my album something I have been  wanting and dreaming about doing for a really long time (So much emotion!) After the album was released and the single released to radio, it kind of felt like...Ok...um..now what? (more emotion) Then our family took on some MAJOR change, we made the decision to sell our house and move to BC. (Emotion overload) So let's just say this month, is definitely one where I need, a little pick me up. You know?!

I can't express how blown away and completely shocked I was to hear that this month, my song Here I am made it to top 10 on Christian Radio in Canada! Whhhat?!  I mean, I knew it was playing on radio (somewhere) I just had never heard it myself or anything. So this is some pretty good news!

I also found out that Here I am made it on JoyFM top 20 Canadian song countdown on July 1st (Canada Day) among so many amazing artists. Mind. Blown.

I'm so blessed and honoured and could have never done this in my own strength. I am fully aware of that.

The lesson here: always wait on the Lord and trust the process. He's got me, He's got you! He is working on our behalf. Trust the process!

Thank you to all who have bought the album, listened and requested the song on radio. You guys are amazing!

Much Love,

Melody

Wear Love

“ It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.”

— Colossians 3:14

I love this verse! It sounds nice, looks nice, makes you feel good inside. What if we lived in a world where the first thing we put on was love? What would the world be like if we all chose to never be without it?

We have been told...No! we have been COMMANDED to love. This is huge! I post a lot about love and it's because I want to get this right. I want for love to be the first thing I reach for everyday before anything else in my closet. I want to spread the message to everyone about how much they are loved. 

Let's wear love above anything. Not just shirts that say it...I mean those are cool and all, but let's really wear it! Let it be the centre of who we are and what we do everyday, always. Loving God and Loving people!

Know that you ARE loved!

Happy Father's Day!

“Any man can be a father but it takes someone special to be a Dad.” ”

— Anne Geddes

Today is Father's day! Let's celebrate all the good ones out there! Happy Father's Day to my husband and father to our son Noah.  And Happy Father's Day to my daddy in heaven, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. 

I was pretty blessed growing up, my dad was present, loving, dedicated, encouraging, he was basically and still is the best man I know. I know he had his faults (we are all human) but not in his little girls eyes, he could do no wrong. There is so much that he taught me and showed me but the best gift he ever gave me was always pointing me towards my heavenly father and for that, I will be forever grateful.

Be sure to show extra love and appreciation to the father's in your life today! 

If today is a painful day for you, I pray that you feel the love and comfort of our heavenly father surround you today. 

“He is a father to the fatherless...”

— Psalms 68:5

Know that you are loved!
