A little reminder never hurt nobody. Whether you're taking on the world, tackling projects for school, being super mom, or facing ridiculous obstacles, just remember - you have what it takes.

Elisha just wrapped up a series with our students on being fearless. Fear has such a crippling effect on us and before we even realize it we're ruled by it. Ruled by the fear that we'll never be who we have the potential to be, that we will fail or be unsuccessful, fear that the lie of "I'm just not good enough" might be true. Well, it's not. You have what it takes my friend. Don't be afraid. Push yourself and find joy in the process.

I've been fixated on the idea of  "mountaintop moments". The moments we share with God, where we see Him like never before, and in turn see ourselves and others in new light. I shared something similar via instagram and thought I'd share a new wallpaper for le iPhone. It's a kind reminder that today can, if we allow it to, be the best day. Sometimes we hold ourselves back, sabotage ourselves with useless lies, or simply don't give in to the goodness that God has just waiting for us. So today, give in. Have a mountaintop moment and decide to make today the best!

I'm kind of in love with these wallpapers; they remind me of flashcards and it makes my heart happy. I am constantly checking my phone and I love having something on my screen that can encourage me or lift my spirits - these are just the trick!

lots of love to you. melisa

Change is good. Although it may not always feel that way, I've found that my biggest growing moments are usually during times of change. Instead of having change come upon you, why not embrace it?! Let it be something that you seek out and start living every day trying to change someone's life for the better.

In honor of Easter, I wanted to share some new iPhone wallpapers. I realize that not everyone shares my views, but can I just say, I love God. I love Him for all He has done in my life and all He continues to do. I'm so thankful for Jesus; for His love, for His sacrifice, and His grace. If you think God is a thing of mystery and something not for you, I would love to share my story with you. Because honestly, without the evidence of what He's done in my life and the lives of those I love, I probably wouldn't believe in Him either. I simply cannot deny the truth of His existence. 

These carry the theme of peace; something God has been showing me so much of lately. Hope they inspire you daily. The first is actually a print I'm selling in my shop, but I really wanted to share it with you all!

lots of love to you. melisa

It's been awhile since I shared a download, so I thought I'd change things up a bit and offer an iphone wallpaper! I love sprucing up my wallpaper from time to time; makes me feel like I got a whole new phone! I hope you enjoy these! They're made specifically for the iphone 5, but you can get a variation of sizes via the links above. Enjoy!
