Welcome to my blog!
Haiti did not break my heart in the same way that everyone else did. I don't really miss the kids. I don't like mission trips. I could care less about anything. I did not enjoy Haiti, I loved my team. I was struggling the entire week, mentally and spiritually. I had a lot of great support that I definitely needed. God taught me a lot. However, I can't say I gave my heart to Haiti, because I didn't. I tried and did my best, but the real me came out anyway. I was trying so hard to be “her”. The girl everyone loves. She loves missions, loves Haiti, loves kids. I do not like any of those things. I am not “her” and will never be “her”. I am me, and I think, no, I know, God brought me to Haiti to show me just that. He showed me what I'm not. He told me to stop being someone else. He created me the way I am for a reason, and He loves me just the way I am, because I am exactly Who I am. I learned, realized, I don't have to be like everyone else. I don't have to like Haiti, or missions, or kids. I can just be me, and that's okay. I did love Haiti in the sense of I had a great team, we were unified, I “fell in love” with so many people and so many people “fell in love” with me. In a team kind of way haha. I am in love with God. My home is wherever He is, and wherever He calls me. If God calls me anywhere, I will go. If He calls me to say something, I'll try my best to say it... if He leads me to date a certain person, I will trust Him with it, because I have to, and I want to trust God. I'll leave it all to God, lean back, surrender, and just be glad in who I am. I am Melody Lynn (Grace) Collins. I am the daughter of the King of Kings, and with Him I will have victory, for He is my victory and I can do all things through Him who gives me strength. Thank you and God bless you.
Melody.

Melody C.God has given me the natural talent as a writer. I felt Him encourage me in the direction of using my natural skill in writing for Him, instead of investing in skills that were basically going to waste. I have been writing my whole life. I love to answer questions, give advice, and share experiences. I hope you enjoy it, and I pray that God speaks through me and to you. If there are ever any typos, please ignore them. They will be fixed as soon as I notice them. Archives
