About Me

Hello, I'm Melissa Andress, Singer / Songwriter. I hope my lyrics will touch you as they have touched my life. Through my songs, I have found growth and healing. I have been raised from a depressed spirit into a lilly of the field through God's love. Music can open the door to healing wounds and emotions from our past. God is the God of second chances..He is a God of Love and Compassion! Through my mistakes, i have found forgiveness, grace, and mercy. If you are going through a tough time in your life right now..know that God wants you to cast all your cares on him. When we give him everything ,we win. As long as we love people, God will do the rest! It's all about LOVE!God is trustworthy in everything (Psalm 33:4) – He is love (1 John 4:16b), and therefore patient and kind; he's never rude or self-seeking; he's not easily angered, and he keeps no record of wrongs; he does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth; he always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres; he never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8) He is always fair (Deuteronomy 32:4), and he's never failed to fulfill one of his promises. (Joshua 21:45)· Meditate on God's faithfulness – When you struggle to trust God, meditate upon his faithfulness and love. Remember that, for now, we "know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled." (1 Corinthians 13:9-10, MSG) "Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way." (Proverbs 3:5-6) God is calling you to grow up in your faith and to trust steadily in him. (1 Corinthians 13:11-13, MSG)· Take your fears (lack of trust) to him – God's perfect love casts out all fear, and that means you can safely tell him about your doubts and fears. He isn't angry when you struggle with your faith. Imagine a father watching his child take those first baby steps. Like a father overjoyed that his child is learning to walk, your Heavenly Father encourages you to take small steps of obedience Get this FREE MySpace layout and more at MySpaceOrYours.net

As long as we love people, God will do the rest! It's all about LOVE!All of these lines across my face Tell you the story of who I am So many stories of where I've been And how I got to where I am But these stories don't mean anything When you've got no one to tell them to It's true...I was made for you I climbed across the mountain tops Swam all across the ocean blue I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules But baby I broke them all for you Because even when I was flat broke You made me feel like a million bucks Yeah you do and I was made for you You see the smile that's on my mouth Is hiding the words that don't come out And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed They don't know my head is a mess No, they don't know who I really am And they don't know what I've been through but you do And I was made for you... -Brandi Carlile
