This Life Within

Posted by Melody Calhoun on Wednesday, April 15, 2009,

The movements within me of this tiny life are so curiously intriguing! Sometimes I sit amazed that this is my fourth child, yet there is still so much wonder and excitement of this new little person being developed in my womb. Each of our children have different personalities, their own special character traits that are just their own, and my husband and I are eager to meet and know this child to come.

Posted by Melody Calhoun on Sunday, April 5, 2009,

Throughout these days that have been hard, I look to my Jesus for hope so that I may endure for His sake. He IS my Deliverer ~ He has saved my soul from death and hell. And every day, from moment to moment, He saves me from despair, despite my situation and my surroundings.

Obviously, I love to write. Words have always been intriguing to me, especially when they are eloquently put together to convey to others one's personality, as well as their veiwpoint on life all around them. I believe that writing is very theraputical, as you get to put some order to the thoughts that crowd our minds and lay heavy on our hearts. As a Christian who wants all that I write to be pleasing and acceptable unto the Lord, my works become even more than that, because I know that He has purposes I cannot even perceive or comprehend in all things done for Him. Other than writing, I like to spend time with my family. We're an odd little bunch! and we like to have fun together. Unfortunately, just like all other families, we don't always get along, but the Lord IS gracious and reminds us all of the Love He gives us to share. Hmmm,,, I love chocolate cocoanut bars; fish and chicken are my favorite foods; purple and green interwoven into and out of one another are my preffered colors; I have always felt blessed by the ministry that God has given Billy Graham; music is essential, and Jeremy Camp is my favorite Christian artist; I love Ansal Adams photography; and I absolutely Love the writings of Paul in the New Testament. Other than that, I'm pretty mellow. Smile,,, at least sometimes.
