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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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…

    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…

    Redeemed says:

    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!
