  • So glad you defeated the evil one! Glad you are better. Prayers and much love.

  • Amen. God is Great! Thankful for your faithfulness to each other!

  • You were hit with a “whammy” on Thanksgiving Day and for days that followed. I’m thankful Dr. Redcross found the issue and did the surgery! I knew, you, if anyone would get through this trial with flying colors! Our faith assures us of victory over all the trials that come our way. That is why studying the Bible daily and letting those words become who we are is so important. We are winners over the powerful darts and deceit the Devil uses.

    • Thank you for always believing in me, encouraging me, and praying for me. It means SO MUCH. His Word does become who we are! The enemy can shoot those flaming arrows at us, but I have seen and I KNOW how powerful God’s words are in defeating him.

  • Melony, what a testimony! Thanks for the reminder to stay in His word daily. I am so glad you are better.

  • Before 2019 my answer to every zigzag in life was to not fight at all. It’s a very long story (and my book will talk about all the why’s) but to make it short and sweet, i no longer had the energy, drive or desire to keep fighting. By the end of 2019 I was unchained from a burden I carried my entire life and for the first time truly felt free to fight in life. To fight for what I wanted, needed, desired and God opened doors, so many doors in 2020. So now I move forward when the zigzags in life happen. I am grateful you too kept moving forward.

    • I know you “get it,” girl! Looking forward to reading your journey of encountering zigzags and how you fought to overcome!

  • Who would have ever guessed we would be in the ER on Thanksgiving morning baby? Epically with a DR name DR Redcross!!! God had you all the way thru this Zig Zag! Love you!!

  • What a beautifully written story of your zig-zag! Your faith is so profoundly presented. Mel, we are all very thankful that victory was yours.

    • Thank you, Kathy! I truly believe my faith was tested. And with God fighting with me and for me, the enemy was defeated!!!

  • My journey has been one of giving up as well as overcoming. I’m SO thankful for you, Melony Brown! I hate that you had to go through this battle but I love that you WON!

    • Oh sweet friend, you are a fighter. I know you have wanted to give up and may have for “a while,” but the fighter deep inside of you can’t stay down. You’ve had to fight to overcome many times, and I admire that about you in A BIG WAY! I love you, dear friend!!!

  • Love that you shared this Mel. I’m so glad God carried you through that Valley. You are a powerful voice of encouragement!

Mindset: Is Yours Fixed or Growing?

So often you hear the cliché’ “where the mind leads the heart will follow.” I will not refute that. What I will say is that we often do not truly make the connection. I can honestly say I did not
