When Melissa offered the first Creative Weekend back during the summertime, God had pricked my heart to go, and it was clear. At the time, I swallowed it, buried it, and thought well enough that it would go away; I was scared to take that leap. “What if I’m not a great artist like the others? What if I can’t grasp the idea of opening a business? What if this is where the Lord wants me to go? What if I fail?” I mean the “what-ifs” overflowed. I’d see her post on socials about the weekend and would get so excited,...

I have followed @melissalyonsart on her inspiring life’s journey, just watching her grow and change as an artist.   She is so full of life and encouragement.  God’s goodness shines through her and her work.   When she started creative weekends in Cali it was too far and I had babies.  When she moved to S.C. I had more babies and excuses.  I was finally ready to commit in 2020 and planned on going...

Creative Weekend Testimonials : Olivia Megargle

I’ve known Jesus since I can remember but I had found myself in a very lukewarm place with my faith in the years leading up to 2020. With tumultuous times I found my faith so watered down it couldn’t sustain me against the fear and doubt that had crept in.  When I stumbled across Melissa Lyons ( Art)  on Instagram I was searching for faithful inspiration. Examples of living boldly with hope, joy and truth in the midst of hard times. I needed to see it lived out as I drew back to my first love. Her posts encouraged me...
