the gist

I'm not normal. I think you'll begin to see that when you start reading.
Normal girls my age are caught up in their new boyfriend or pair of frye boots. But me? I'm caught up in the grace that saved me from eternal destruction and the Man who gave me that grace. To put it simply, I'm crazy about my God.
And that's not normal.

Behind every action, lies motivation. So what's my motivation?
I want to provide everyone with access to see that God loves them. I want people to know the thoughts and conflicts that cloud my naive mind...


...and I like to blog.

As you read these letters, Candice is you. I am writing these letters to you- whoever you may be.

So when you see her name, say your name.

{long week}
Dear Candice,


I can’t believe it has been a whole week. it feels like I haven’t seen you in years. But still I wont forget you and I’m praying for you.

Candice, God will use you in so many ways. Despite your age, condition, and experience, God can and will still use you. Take it from me. Here is how I have experienced God:

The few short years I have lived consist of struggle pain suffering joy peace and love. The pain of every day for the past year has somehow been overcome by the joy of a love greater than this world. My life and what is left of it is, in a way, a sea of unforgiving circumstances that result in letting small things defeat me. This is how my entire life was until that seemingly ordinary day when God placed you in my life. I am changed forever. Through all of the pain and suffering, somehow there was still love. Love is the result of care and compassion and is expressed in profoundly diverse ways. Love is an action- not an emotion. One cannot feel love toward someone else. Instead, he or she cares about this person enough to take action and not just let their feeling sit. The action taken in this situation is the love. This is why I am able to say to you that I love you- because I care about you enough to pray for you and write you letters.

You Candice can love because He first loved us.

I love you.

Love,

sara
