I am currently waiting for the phone to do an update on TikTok. Unfortunately it is not letting me join until it is done. I will see you as soon as it is!

BEFORE Someone asks about the dream they used to talk about all the time. They smile, shrug it off, and say, "Life happened." But later that night, they wonder when they stopped believing that dream was still meant for them. AFTER A song meets them in that quiet place. They listen to it again before going to bed, and the next morning they take one small step toward the dream they thought they had left behind. For the first time in a long time, they believe that dream still belongs to them.

DAY 4 — Core Content Thesis Being by yourself doesn’t mean you’re alone. I document the journey from carrying life like you have no help to remembering that God is with you, loving you, leading you, and holding what feels too heavy to carry on your own. The buried thing: I thought I was doing life alone because I didn’t have someone beside me to help me carry it. Day 5 — "FOR YOU" BEFORE She comes home after a long day of work, kicks off her shoes, and drops her purse on the table. The apartment is quiet in a way that makes everything feel heavier. She checks her phone, hoping he finally reached out. Nothing. “Day three,” she thinks. She plops down on the couch and sinks into desperation, feeling the weight of wanting someone beside her - not just to help carry life, but to share the little moments, the hard days, the quiet nights, and the future she keeps trying to figure out by herself. AFTER A song begins to play. A minute in, the weight begins to lift. The music sings to her like a love song from the Savior, speaking straight to her pain. She takes a deep breath. Her shoulders relax. She leans back on the couch and closes her eyes. For the first time in a long time, it occurs to her that she is not alone - that God is with her, loving her, leading her, and taking care of what feels too heavy for her to carry on her own. A soft smile spreads across her face. She’s still all by herself, but she feels surrounded by love.

Every artist you admire once created something they never released. Not every song, design, idea, or project is meant for the world. Sometimes the work you never share is the work that prepares you for what comes next. Keep learning. Keep creating. Every project has a purpose. 😉

Hey everyone, I'm sharing a song that I wrote and performed a few years back. I've always had a hard time identifying my sound...stuck in between Alternative Gospel and Neo-Soul Gospel (this is the direction I want to go in, but don't know if my vocals are there yet). Anyway, I attached the lyrics and hope it speaks... Compass - By Melodie Shekia In the middle of the night You open up your eyes You open up your eyes In the middle of the day Somebody made a way Somebody made a way It musta been you, Father It musta been your Son Still interceding ‘til the break of dawn When I don’t know what to do You’re my compass in the night When I’m losing my way You are my light It musta been you, Father It musta been your Son Still interceding ‘til the break of dawn In the middle of the night You open up your eyes You open up your eyes In the middle of the day Somebody made a way Somebody made a way Even though I never talk about it The white elephant in my soul You already know enough about The white elephant in my... It musta been you, Father It musta been your Son Still interceding ‘til the break of dawn When I don’t know what to do You’re my compass in the night When I’m losing my way You are my light It musta been you, Father It musta been your Son Still interceding ‘til the break of dawn When I look back over my life I know it was You all the time Before I wake up You have ordered my footsteps Before I get up When I don’t know what to do You’re my compass in the night When I’m losing my way You are my light It musta been you, Father It musta been your Son Still interceding ‘til the break of dawn
