{paul:timothy::me:you}
dear candice,
"i hope to come to you soon but i am writing these things to you so that if i delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God." {1 timothy 3:14-15}
paul, who wrote 1st and 2nd timothy along with many other books of the Bible, and i have alot in common. for starters, we both are/were disciples of Jesus Chirst. we also wrote letters to younger people who we didnt have easy access to talk to- me to you and paul to timothy. both of us have published our letters- me on a blog and paul in the Bible. i admire pauls increadible insight and wisdomin his writing to timothy. i only wish i could give you such great advice and encouragement as paul gave to timothy.  so although im not an expert- im far from one- when it comes to giving life changing advice, i just like to share with you and whoever else reads this that my God is so good and so amazing.
i have been reading through 1st and 2nd timothy and i personaly am talking away alot from what paul writes. and i compleatly agree with everything he says. like in 2 timothy 2:22 when he writes, "flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness along with those who call on the Lord with a pure heart." thats one of my favorites.
"oh timothy [candice], guard the deposit entrusted yo you. avoid the irrelovent babble and cointradictions of what is falsely called "knowlge," for by professing it, some have swerved from the faith. grace be with you." {1 timothy 6:20-21}
i love you.
love,
sara
