I'm Melissa Edgington, a thirty-seven year old Baptist pastor's wife and mother of three. I write about whatever comes to my mind, which is probably not how a blog should work, but if you stick with me for awhile you'll see my two passions coming through: Christianity and motherhood.

I was born in the year 1977. As a child of the 80s, I was a major target of television advertising, and I can still sing jingles and rattle off different slogans that were written for kids just like me. Let’s face it: advertising works. We were all constantly begging our parents for the latest...

Lately the baby and I have been engaged in one of those epic battles that two year olds tend to wage with their mothers. She wants to do what she wants to do, and I want her to do what I want her to do. Case in point: we both want her to walk instead...

“God has been so good to me.” Her eyes were closed, her hand pressed to her heart in an expression of complete sincerity. She sat in her cozy living room, where in every corner you’ll find evidence of her flair for all things pink. She has always believed that beautiful things bring glory to her...

The dress hung there like an underrated work of art in a hushed gallery–the type of art that a younger person may just glance at in passing, quickly moving on to something more provocative. But I stood there and took it in. It spoke to me in some strange way, not offering philosophies of living...

Lately the kids and I have been watching one of these wedding dress shows. You know the kind: mother is a nightmare, bride is in tears, but in the end the perfect wedding dress magically appears and they all skip out of the salon holding hands. At the end of each show, they choose one...

Sometimes Christian parents feel a bit lost in the culture while raising kids. You wonder how to handle the internet, social media, shows, and music. You wonder how much to tell your kids about some of the things they’re encountering in their social circles, like gender and sexuality. You aren’t even sure what you think...

I’ll admit I’ve had some days in the past year and a half when I have said to someone, “I feel like I’ll never be rested again.” I have been bone-tired, weary. Some days it’s more than just sleep deprivation. It’s a type of heaviness that comes from holding too tightly to the things I...

On Sunday Chad and I left our small town and traveled to a slightly smaller town about 35 miles away. These little places are out in parts of the state of Texas where few people go unless they’re passing through to someplace larger. Yet, our towns are filled with a few thousand souls who need...

When I stop thinking about your goodness, this world terrifies me.
