Living Luxuriously for Less

Back in 2018, we started something that has become so special to me—our monthly prayer gatherings on YouTube. What many of you may not know is that it all began with a simple act of obedience. I truly believe God placed it on my heart to pray, and I simply said "yes." I had no idea where that "yes" would lead, but month after month, year after year, we've prayed together, believed together, cried together, celebrated together, and watched God move in incredible ways.

Today, I get to share something that is very close to my heart.

That same journey of obedience is now taking me beyond YouTube and into my very first women's conference ministry assignment.

I have the incredible honor of speaking at the Chosen Diamonds Women's Conference, where this year's theme is "A Season of Divine Reversals and Miracles." I will be speaking on Thursday, July 23, at 10:30 a.m.

If you're in the Jacksonville area—or if you're looking for a place to worship and be encouraged—I would absolutely love to see you there. The conference is completely free, and I'll leave the registration link below for anyone who would like to attend.

I'm not yet sure if the conference will be streamed live through Joshua Faith Christian Center, but if it is, I'll be sure to share that information and the viewing link with you as soon as it's available.

As excited as I am, I also recognize the weight and responsibility of this assignment. I would sincerely appreciate your continued prayers—that I would decrease so God can increase, that every word spoken would bring Him glory, and that every woman who attends would leave transformed by His presence.

Thank you for walking this journey with me since 2018. Thank you for praying with me, encouraging me, supporting me, and most of all, for trusting the God in me. Your love and faithfulness have meant more than you'll ever know.

I love you all to the moon and back.

Much love and many blessings,

Melanie

“Father, we thank You for bringing us into the month of July. We surrender our hearts to You and ask that You search us, cleanse us, and align us with Your will. Prepare us for every breakthrough, every open door, every miracle, and every divine reversal You have ordained for us. Renew our minds so we will not miss this season of acceleration. Strengthen our faith to believe You for the impossible, and let Your signs, wonders, and miracles follow Your people. We declare that this month will be filled with Your glory, Your favor, and Your divine intervention. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.”

Living Luxuriously for Less

Everybody wants to talk about the bloom season... but lately, I've been thinking a lot about the pruning season.

Before the flowers bloom, there’s cutting. There’s refining. There’s removing what no longer serves the purpose of growth.

The truth is, I’m not interested in a bloom that lasts for a moment. I’m praying for the kind of flourishing that lasts. The kind that is rooted deeply enough to weather every season.

So in this season of my life, I’m embracing the pruning. Strengthening my relationship with God. Investing in my marriage. Cherishing my family. Being intentional about friendships. Creating healthy boundaries. Growing my business with purpose instead of pressure.

Because when pruning is done properly, the bloom is stronger, healthier, and lasts longer.
And maybe that's the lesson I'm learning right now: Don't rush the bloom. Honor the process that prepares you for it.
