About Me


I'm Melissa Dingfield, starving artist/youth volunteer/waitress. Someday I will even get around to posting some pictures.
"When I get honest I admit I am a bundle of paradoxes. I believe and I doubt, I hope and get discouraged, I love and I hate, I feel bad about feeling good, I feel guilty about not feeling guilty. I am trusting and suspicious. I am honest and I still play games. Aristotle said I am a rational animal; I say I am an angel with an incredible (Incredibly small!) capacity for beer" -Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel
"When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

My Interests


You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult

You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.

Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?My puppy, Hazel;

It happens so gradually, so carefully, that I never even see it coming.  I think I'm different, that I'm stronger, less susceptible, I must have learned something last time.  But then next t...

Monday. A new Week. Another chance. Last week's failures gone with the passing of time. Yesterday's resignation into today's resolve. I go on because I choose to. I may not win. I probably won't win. ...

A great friend once told me that he loved me.  He didn't want anything from me, he just hoped that maybe by him loving me I would somehow experience the love of Christ.  He was always there ...
