Hi, I'm Melissa, owner and author of The Rippling Brook, theripplingbrook.com.

I've experienced several difficult seasons in my life and learned some valuable lessons along the way that I would like to share with you.

Whatever you are facing today, remember that you are not alone and that this season in life has a purpose.

God does not waste pain. He will grow you through it if you allow it, and he can use the ripples that disturb the peacefulness in your life to push you into a life you never dreamed of.
