New Design on the Way
*UPDATE*
I absolutely love it! Thank you so much, Fabulous K!
Our new blog design is on its way! I think it's safe to say that it'll be up by morning. Yeah! So if you stop by tonight and every time you click things look a little different, that's why. Our designer may be in the middle of installing it.
This design will be somewhat temporary since we are switching over to a new blog platform soon and we won't get to keep this design (since it has been particularly designed for Blogger), but we want to get something fresh and fun on here in the meantime. (No worries. When we make the switch, all the old posts and comments will still be with us.)
Also, Melissa is getting packed and running all her last-minute errands. She leaves for India tomorrow!

Melissa,
Praying for safe travel for you and your group and that you will have a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit as you minister to the people of India.

Safe travels and abundant blessings, Melissa!
Oh fun, I love to see new blog makeovers! Can't wait til tomorrow!
Yeah Melissa,
Be Safe and
Be a Blessing.
Praying for Melissa (and the rest of the group) as ya'll head out.
The words "new platform" worry me. Does that mean no more blogging? Or does it mean website/ blogging?
Even so, I look forward to the new look!
And I'm praying all day for Melissa (and your entire family), as she prepares.
I am excited to see it! I am praying for Melissa in every area of her mission!!
Praying for you sweet siesta!!!
Praying for you Melissa!
Praying for you Melissa!
With love,
Definitely in prayer for Melissa.
I look forward to seeing the new blog design. Although, I am still amazed at the paint bucket picture. I'm just not all up on technology and design. It does not take a lot to please me. I have always and still think the current design is awesome. I am curious about the new design though. I'm sure it will be really great.
Melissa:
CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR TRIP WHEN YOU GET BACK. I AM REALLY EXCITED FOR ALL OF YOU!!!!!
Ooooh, can't wait to see it! I love makeovers! :)
Praying for Melissa...
Melissa-I am praying for you and your group. India is a tough ground to sow in, but with God all things are possible!! (also praying for your hubby!)
Hi!
I am at a new church where we are introducing Beth Moore studies from 7-9 on a weeknight.
We are kicking off this women's study by offering Beth's "Wising Up" (a summer study with no homework) and then want to do Beth's Esther study in the fall.
Wondered if anyone has advice on facilitating the Wising Up series? When I called Living Proof, they were very nice, but didn't have any info to give me on this...so I thought I would reach out here.
Thank you in advance
K
Praying for Melissa and all the others, too. And for Colin :)
Look forward to the new blog makeover. Also, I'm praying for Melissa and looking forward to reading her thoughts when she gets back.
I've shared this with some mighty prayer warriors in Georgia, even at the capitol. We are all praying for Melissa and her fellow travelers...plus those who will be awaiting her return.
Grace and peace!
Will we be able to access archives of the old blog still?
Safe travels Melissa. My grandfather made 20 missionary trips there in his lifetime.
Hugs,
Melinda
Can't wait! Awesome!
Praying for a safe and AMAZING trip for Melissa! I know she will be such a blessing to the people of India, and I can't wait to hear how she is also blessed by them!
Robyn
Praying for you, sweet Melissa!
I heard Beth on Focus on the Family this morning! She was speaking on marriage! It was awesome and I can't wait to hear more tomorrow!
Love you guys!
Kristi :o)
I want to go too!! I've been following the different blogs of the people going, and it's fun to see each of their different viewpoints and things they're trusting God with.
On a sidenote, we started the Esther study 4 weeks ago. I expected to have 5-6 women, and we've ended up with 32! Love it, love the study, love the ladies, love it!
Praying for Melissa as she goes exactly where she is supposed to be for such a time as this!

Well, since tomorrow is my b-day, I will consider the new blog design a present just for me. Aww, you shouldn't have!
Can't wait to see it!
Praying for Melissa!
Melana in Wyoming (where it is supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow!)
Praying for Melissa and her group, and for the whole LPM ministry...and all the ladies on here!
What a blessing!
My prayers will be covering Melissa. Excited about the new look!!
Leah
It appears as though we'll still have the opportunity to go back to old posts and re-read, right? Otherwise, I should have printed some of those off!
I can't wait to hear about the nation and peoples of India, through Melissa's God-given 'eyes'!! Godspeed
P.S. Wondering if Sandy found her Siesta Scripture Memory verses?
love this new site :)
Well, I love it so far!
Melissa,
Praying for your trip. Left a comment the other day, but didn't see it. Anyway, praying for you and hoping you'll keep on your traveling roll and come to LPL in Laramie in a few weeks. Please!
Have a wonderful trip and remember everything so you can share it all with us!
Love,
Joanne
The new design is so pretty - can't wait to see all the changes! "Blessed are the FLEXIBLE, for they shall not break." It will be wonderful.
I've had Melissa on my heart and mind all afternoon and am so excited about her trip to India.
She's a good girl, that Melissa, as are you, sweet Amanda!
Much Love,
Georgia Jan
Blog looks adorable!! I love it!
Praying for Melissa and friends safety and their Divine appointments as they travel to and from India.
Praying for Melissa and her blog buddies as they begin their adventure! For safe travel and a heart ready to receive all that God has planned for them. When you hug the kids, tell them there are LOTS of families praying for them on this blog!
Can't wait to see the new blog site! It'll be fun to have a change.
I know change is okay but I really liked the paint bucket! :) I like this too!
Cute blog.
Gasp! The blog pulled up and I thought it was the wrong page! It looks GREAT! Very fun.
Melissa,
Praying for safe travel for you and the mission team and that God does amazing things through you.
Amanda,
I love the fluer de lis they rock!!!
The makeover looks fabulous already!
Look out India- God is bringing a fresh work with the Spirit filled women on the way!
Love love love it!! Super cute!
And of course praying for the India team!! :)
Loving the new look so far!!
WOW! It looks so great and bright! Love the new look. Safe travels Melissa.
I do like this temporary template really well! I'm looking forward to seeing the new format to come!
Take care,
Karen
Praying safe travel for you, Melissa, and that the annointing of the Lord will just rest upon you through your entire time in India!
I like the new design, but loved the paint bucket as well... :)
Heather in NH
Have a safe trip Melissa!!! May God bless ya during your travels.
Keeping you all in prayer!!!
p.s.
Loving the new look so far on the blog.
Rachel
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new design!
And for Melissa, I will be praying for you. Can't wait to hear about the trip!
Melissa,
Covering you in prayer on this trip, girly girl. Have a blessed experience and may God show up BIG as you work so selflessly in India.
Amanda,
LOVE the new format! The colors and designs are so cute! Great job, y'all!
Love,
Kristen
Melissa, May you be covered by the love and power of Christ.
I love it too!
I'm praying for Melissa and the group traveling to India.
Yep, it's very pretty. (bye, little paint brushes and bucket)
Is there a significance for the Fleur de Lis?
Melana
Godspeed, Melissa!!
The site is beautiful and very girlie :) Just perfect :)
Melana, there is no significance for the fleur de lis... we just wanted something new. We are planning on moving over to Wordpress sometime in the near future and we will have an entirely new set-up but we wanted a new/fresh design to hold us over until we can get all the logistics figured out for our switch to Wordpress in the future.
You had to know we'd be in here - and thinkin we were lost ;)
Thanks for the update on the update.
Blessings and travel mercies to Mellie - thanks for keeping us in the look Amanda.
Anne
Well, this is very fun! I'm getting a blog makeover too- it should be done in a week or so- and now I'm even more excited since I've seen this one. We're praying for Melissa!
Like the new look.
Have a safe trip Melissa. I will be praying for you.

I love it, i love it, I love it! This is a wonderful site and I love the changes. It is refreshing and very girly which I love.

LOVE THE NEW LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Melissa,
I am going to be praying for you and your family during your trip to India. You may have already told us, but how long will you be gone? Lifting you up!
Susan
The new design is very pretty. Ecclesiastes 3 has really been on my heart today and here again is another example. It's a new season for the LPM blog. It's a new season for Melissa as she prepares for her trip. Blessings to all.
i just love it too. Great job!!!!!
Praying for Melissa and the entire team!
Love y'all,
Fran

Love blasting Travis in my car! When you said Christians could wear pink lipstick, I looked at my husband (yes he was at the event-both days!) and said I guessmy Hummer H3 is ok too! I want to get alicense plate "ONHSMSN" On His Mission!
Love ya,

Came over to offer up prayer for Melissa, and wow at the fun design!
Praying for safe travel, for every detail to yield to the will of our sovereign Lord, and for the physical health of the entire team. Praying other things as well, but this list is a start. :)
Love the new design! Praying for Melissa as she leaves for India.
Love the new design for the LPM Blog. It's so fresh and fun looking! Great job and kudos to the web designer.
Prayers going up for Melissa and all the Compassion Team going on mission. It will be exciting to get to hear directly from Melissa while in India.

I can't believe we have been blogging with you for 2 years! Oh my- I am humbled and most appreciative- God Bless your ministry and thank you for allowing us to participate in a small way.

Melissa: God is before you, behind you, beside you and most of all inside of you. He is surrounding you and your team with HIS love, provision and protection. Be at peace and know He will speak to you is so many ways!
Absolutely beautiful!
Godspeed Melissa.
Praying for Melissa and Colin - it's tough being away from each other, no matter how long you've been married! Praying for Beth and Keith while their baby girl is half-way 'round the world.
So far the new the design is fabulous!

Blessings in abundance Melissa - our prayers and love go with you!

What a feminine design. I love it!

Amen
Angie
Wow! I clicked on to the blog this morning and thought I had landed on another planet. This design will be fun.
Melissa, I am praying for you! May your heart be forever changed by this journey with Christ. I look forward to hearing from you when you get home.
Last night I had the joy of hearing Dr. David Jeremiah and to sing along with Charles Billingsley at the FedEx Forum in Memphis.
Dr. Jeremiah was there to share his latest book, What in the World is Going On? Charles was there to lead us in worship. Let me say the house rocked. The Lord was glorified. My feet are still off the ground.
Have a great day!

I love the colors and the new blog.
I am not a person who likes change very much but I do love color. Good job!
Melissa safe travels
MGMF.howdy you will never BE THE SAME just like Bethy went she went. America loves you MMF.

mrs SueC
Praying for you Melissa!!
The new look is fun.
Charlotte
Is there a way to make the most current post the one that pops up first? I'd rather see it, then the very first post written, albeit a good one! Just a thought...
peace~elaine
Praying for you, Melissa!
J.
The new site is beautiful Amanda! Thanks for keeping us updated.
Also- Melissa, I'm praying for your travels. That Jesus would be evident and His presence known in each child, each adult you encounter.
Love to each of you!!
I love this new Blog makeover! Praying for Melissa!
Much love,
Sharon, NC
Melissa,
Praying for you!! You go girl!! Stay safe. I can hardly wait to hear your stories when you return.
Royana
Woke up early this morning, and the first thing the Lord reminded me of was that, "oh, today is the day Melissa leaves for India."
We don't even know each other and you were brought to my mind. How amazing is the family of God??
Praying for a safe, fruitful journey.
Blessings...
Oh, the blog looks great, too.
Will the new format you are switching to be "user friendly" for folks (LIKE ME) who are not so computer savvy? I hope so.
But the new page is cute!
very cute! Melissa, I can't wait to hear what God does during your trip! Blessings and safe travel!
it!!
SUPER cute blog design!!
Melissa, I'm praying for you, your trip and your family.
I love the color scheme of the new design! It is so easy to read now!
Father please watch over Melissa on her trip. Please keep her and her companions safe and may many lives be changed for your glory.
Amen.
Praying for you Melissa.
Of course, I am praying for Melissa and the team. BUT as the mother of adult children; I am praying for Melissa's Mom. Nobody warned me that this letting go stuff would be so hard. My mind knows that the Lord does but a better job than I do/did, but my heart still enjoyed that illusion of control that I had when they lived under my roof!
Terri
Whoa! thought I in some weird zone with a new look, but change is good and I like it. Praying for Melissa for safe travel...............You go girl!!!!
I'm adding my prayers for Melissa's travels!
And oh, how I like the blog makeover! Isn't it interesting how God made us to enjoy change of scenery? Makes me want to change my blog - or get a new eye shadow - or buy a new couch - or paint my kitchen - or....
Thanks for all of the hard work! :o)
Praying for you!
Praying for Melissa and Colin. Just wondering what Mrs. Beth is up to!
Have a blessed day!
Melissa,
Have a wonderful God Filled trip. You will be blessed for this not to mention all the people you come in contact with. My prayers go with you.
I love the new site design!
I hope everyone has a blessed weekend with lots of sunshine!
It's cute! Prayers and encouraging thoughts to Melissa (with a little bit of envy thrown in).
Happy Birthday Moose Mama! Give that moose a squeeze for me. :)
Melissa!
Praise God for this appointment that the Lord has poured into your life and your blogger friends! The Lord is with you (2 Chronicles 20:1-29). Your Mama shared this on Life Today, and I carry this with me in my heart as I face the enemy - Those that you meet will see the gorgeous Light within you. As the scripture says in 2 Chronicles 20:21 - just sing - "Give thanks to the Lord for his love endures forever." when you are unsure of what to do next. His Almighty Word is powerful! You and your friends with Christ are about to do some ground-shaking changes in the lives of many!
In His beloved care -
Lea - Waxahachie, TX
Also....I love the new blog! Full-of Life!!
Lea
You are covered in prayers, Melissa!
The blog looks so fresh for spring! I needed fresh today as it was forecasted sunny and warm and we are getting a whole lot of clouds instead (again!). It has been a looong winter! Moose Mama, I said a prayer for you in the snow as well. Hang in there, Siesta!
Nicole

Prayers to cover everyone on the trip! Can't wait to get pictures and written blog of all the details!

Hi there,
I will be praying for Melissa's journey/trip to be very safe, plus very fruitful, even if only "good seeds of God's Word" are given.
Trust me, I had tons of seeds planted in me by others before I came to know Christ Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
The new design looks nice, thus far. However, it is hard for me to read black lettering on white back-grounds. Generally, pastel colors like blues, greens, and purples are best for me. On the other hand, I know that this blog is not made "just for me", so if it cannot be changed, I will just have to print out some of the posts on pastel colored paper to read them.
Love, in Christ Jesus,
Jennifer Olmstead [aka: Sparki2003]

CUTE new blog design!
Praying for Melissa!!!
LOVE THE NEW DESIGN!!!!!! It looks great!!!
Hugs to you all
steph.
Praying for Melissa and the family.
Love the new design!
Blessings,
Marita
Jennifer, I'm sorry the black on white is hard for you to read. No matter how we did it, someone would have a hard time with it. I wish it were possible to please everyone.
If anyone has any questions about the blog or matters that need to be addressed, please email us at blog@lproof.org. Thanks, ladies! We are excited to get to blog with you on this fun, new template!
love it!!! so cute and I just think it fits so well! Great job!
Love the new layout... exciting news about the blog changes ahead and I'm praying for Mrs. Melissa. be blesse all!
I love the new look! Much easier to read, too!
Melissa, we will look forward to hearing about India and all that God has in store there!
Very cute the new diggs are.
Wait, I just sounded like Yoda. WHat's with that? Oh, I was still picturing Mrs. Beth in her snuggie.
:)
Donna
Great Blog. Very FUN and FESTIVE!
Hey Siestas - I *adore* the new look.
Did Melissa go with Compassion International Bloggers? w/ Flowerdust Anne?? I wanted so badly to go..i have a sponsered son over there..just want to love on him..
Started Esther last night, and to my surprise..98 women showed up just for the evening session... no idea how many at the earlier one..but God is so awesome!!!! only about 10% of them even knew who you were, and I enjoyed so much them seeing you for the first time..and the way God pulled them all together...
HE is still moving and HE is still moving through you Princess! you know I love you!
Love the new look of the blog!
Sending prayers out for Melissa.
Also, living in the New Orleans area, I love the Fleur de Lis in the new design!
Praying for a safe trip for Melissa. Another blogger friend is going too.

katiegfromtennessee
I love the new look of the blog! Great job on the logo! It's looks very cute and contemporary. Much improved!
Melissa
You and the team will be in my prayers. I will be praying for safe travel there and back home, good health for the entire team, a wonderful spirit of ministry that will lead to many coming to know our Lord, and last, but not least, your husband and the rest of your sweet family. God bless you my siesta, wish I could go too.
Sharon
Pontotoc, MS
Truly delighted by the new look of the blog! It is both beautiful and fun at the same time - just like all the Living Proof ladies! I'm a fleur-de-lis fan too. I like the spiritual significance of it for jewelry (as I do with sand dollars and dogwood flowers too).
Totally unrelated, can Bethmoore or Amandajones please post what presents Melissafitz decided to take to her children?
Thanks, Lynnette
Love the new design...very fresh and exciting.
Great new design!
Love the new graphics...cheery...love the Moon Pie story...
Blessings to you Melissa...prayers going your way.<3
Oh how fun and frrrresssh :-) I love the new design! I will be praying for Melissa.
Love it!! Praying for sweet Melissa and for Colin while she is gone!
LOVE the new design. As a NOLA transplant for 8 years, I still get sentimental when I see the fleur de lis. Beth, NOLA got to you didn't it? It always does, an amazing city in it's own little way!
