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.

dear candice,
God said He would never leave us or forsake us. He is always with us- even if we dont necisarily see Him. in joshua 1, God tells joshua, "be strong and corageous; do not be terrified. for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." fear is a lack of faith. we all have our conserns and doubts but if we are just flat out afraid of life, we dont have faith. God is in charge for very good reasons. God knows our hearts and our intentions. as Dana says, "its such a relief to know that He is in charge and has a plan."
i personally find it very dificult to compleatly and totally surrender to God. to be like matthew and to get up drop everything and follow Jesus. Jesus says in matthew 10 "whoever loves father and mother more than me is not worthy of being My disciple. and whoever does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy to be My disciple." i have to get up and drop everything...everything....EVERYTHING and follow Jesus. and i am willing to do it. i want to shine the light of Christ that im willing to give up everything to follow Him. are you?
thank God He is in control.... literally.
i love you.
love,
sara
