When the Words You Need Find You

6/18/2026

Where This Started

Authentic Conversations came out of a season marked by rejection, ridicule, and deep self-doubt. There were many nights when I sat on the edge of my bed and asked God, “Are you sure you still have me in the palm of your hand?”

The Reminder I Needed

Recently, I received an email filled with kind words of encouragement, along with a simple but thoughtful search for words. What stayed with me most was the note attached to it: “Melody loved creating what she called ‘Cryptic Meditations,’ with messages that could become mini self-help manuals.” The first three words I found were victory, God, and quiet.

I smiled when I saw them, because those three words spoke directly about what I had been living through. They reflected my present reality—quiet; the hope I was holding onto—victory; and what I needed most in that moment—more of God.

A Word for Anyone in the Middle of It

I’m sharing this as a reminder—to you and to myself—that it does not matter when you start, how many times you are overlooked, or how many people fail to understand what has been placed in your heart. If you write the vision down, stay committed to the process, and keep moving with purpose, more is possible than you can see right now.
