In this episode, Melissa Jones will share her journey of how God provided connections, growth, and new directions in her life...how God brought her to places she could not have imagined.  She reminds us that when things are tough or feel meaningless, that this time too has significance and we may never know on this side of heaven what that significance is. Melissa will provide examples of how God does not waste a moment, that every moment counts, including those that seem meaningless.  In wasting nothing,  God comes full circle, but this time with new vision and God centered purposes.

Melissa lives in Christchurch, New Zealand with her husband and has two adult children who also reside in New Zealand. Through M Jones Consultancy, she facilitates professional development by working alongside senior leadership, primary and secondary school teachers to enhance learning programmes. In addition she is a specialist teacher for the New Zealand Centre for Gifted Education and works with the dynamic Computer Science Educational Research Group team at the University of Canterbury. She enjoys scenic walks, bike rides and kayaking around New Zealand where she finds God speaking to her through His magnificent creation that provides a peace as described in Phillipians 4:7 that transcends all understanding.
