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.

{ready to live}
Dear Candice,


I’ve got to admit it-sometimes I get tired of life. As weird as it sounds, life sometimes gets in my way of living. Let me explain.

Life has so many rules and restrictions. Can I not just live? Life’s too short to color in the lines, sing in key, or raise your hand when you have something to say. Why can’t I just express myself OUTSIDE the lines? Sing in whatever key I please? Or just talk whether or not anyone is listening? I just want to live to show the glory of my Creator. Did He create me to make a perfect picture or be different? I want to live! I want to shout His name on a rooftop WITHOUT getting arrested.

Life is sooooo much more than being perfect. True life is only possible when you sing of no other but the name of Jesus.

So don’t worry about coloring in the lines. Sing sing sing! God doesn’t care about how you sing- but what you sing. Talk away. Speak about the great joys of life and of His name. our purpose in life isn’t having everything we want it’s about glorifying God!

I love you.

Love,

Sara
