Mel – I too am one who had no idea of the journey you’ve been through. When I see you, I see a beautiful woman, wife and mom who is crazy in love with Jesus. No smoke on you – just love! Thanking God that in this season many who are lost or suffering will indeed turn their hearts toward their salvation and be transformed. Keep writing! Keep sharing! Good job.

I knew you were a special lady, but this confirms it. God had His hand on you even then. What a lonely time that must have been for you. Looking at you now, you wouldn’t have a clue that you’d been through so much. You are an amazing woman and I’m glad to know you

Melissa, your story made my heart grieve, bring tears, and rejoice. I had no idea. I assumed alot about you and and had no idea what you had gone through. The honesty, humility and reverence in this blog is convicting. I truly cannot tell you how blessed I am to learn more about you.

I have mentored young moms, and found many times such a brick wall. The truth is there is not much Christian support for these teen moms, or those of us who serve them. I can’t tell you how hopeless it feels to wonder if anyone faces this within the church. So many cast them out or ignore them. They are left hopeless and confused. They have no idea where to find simple answers.

Your post reminded me why I do this. You don’t know how much I needed to hear your words. I remember now, why I do this. Thank you for being my blessing today.

I will sending this link to the girls I mentor. I don’t know if they will comment, but I know they will read. Let’s pray for them now that God will touch there heart before I post this.

There is hope.

You made me cry….Not an easy thing to do. I hate that you had even one bad Christmas, but I’m glad it was an opening to restore your life and God’s plan to bring us together! I’m very blessed by our “whole” (pun intended) family! Even the crazy Mexicans! Love you Mel! Great job!
