When God Moves Through Story: A Visit to Mercantile on Broadway Earlier today, I stopped by Mercantile on Broadway — a sweet shop that recently began carrying my books — just to check in, see how things were going, and bring a few more journals for the table. I had no plan for anything more than a quick visit. But as I’ve learned time and time again… God often has something more in mind. Within minutes, I was signing copies of Tiny Seeds, Big Faith and Where Does God Live? for two customers who were browsing. My sweet boy stood beside me, holding a wooden folding fence he wanted. His quiet presence and big eyes reminded me exactly who these stories are for — the little ones, and the hearts that guide them. But then something happened that I’ll never forget. The store employee had to tell me that she had actually seen a few customers weeping while reading The Gift of You . I had to pause and catch my breath. As a writer, you pour your heart into the words, praying they’ll someh...

When Darkness Speaks — A Story I Had to Tell There was a time I didn’t think I’d make it. Not just because life felt hard… but because the lies whispered in the dark felt louder than truth. This video, "When Darkness Speaks," was born from a place of deep personal struggle. I created it for anyone who has ever felt hollow, ashamed, or too far gone. Because I’ve been there — and by God’s grace, I’m still here. Now, I see people I love — friends and family — wrestling with the same shadows I once did. This video is for them. And for me. It’s not easy to share something so personal. Just as I imagine it may be difficult for those who love me to hear it. But I share it anyway — because I know I’m not the only one. We, as humans in this fallen world — myself included — so easily forget. We forget that God has already saved us. That we are loved. That we are cherished. That we are held. This video is a visual reminder that when we keep God close — when we cling to H...

A New Chapter Begins – Welcome to My New Home for Faith & Stories At the very beginning of this year, I felt a nudge—a quiet but steady calling to create something rooted in faith and love. I didn’t know exactly where it would lead, but I knew I wanted to share stories that reflect God’s truth and speak to the hearts of children and families. What started with one step of obedience has grown into something I’m deeply grateful for. Today, I’m excited to share the launch of my official website: michellelepitre.com This space is more than just a place to find my books. It’s a home for the heart behind them—for the bedtime prayers that became stories, the lessons whispered in quiet moments, and the faith that continues to guide me. You’ll find: The books I’ve written and the messages they carry. The journey that brought them to life. And the hope of what’s still ahead. Whether you’ve read one story or are just finding your way here, I invite you to explore, share, and walk ...

Music has always been a source of comfort for me, but recently, I’ve found myself drawn to a particular song that resonates deeply in my spirit— God Is a Shelter by Mountains in the Sea. The first time I heard it, I felt an immediate sense of peace. The soothing tones, the simple yet powerful lyrics, and the song’s connection to 444Hz tuning all played a role in why it has become a daily reminder of God’s presence and my need for Him. The Biblical Connection to Healing Frequencies Many people believe that certain sound frequencies carry healing properties. While this idea has been explored in science and music therapy, it also has deep biblical roots. Throughout scripture, sound and music are used as instruments of healing, worship, and spiritual warfare. In the Bible, David played the harp to soothe Saul’s troubled spirit (1 Samuel 16:23). The walls of Jericho fell after the Israelites marched and blew their trumpets (Joshua 6:20). Sound carries power, and I believe that God uses i...
