{love}
dear candice,
love is such a beautiful thing. but the sad thing is, our society has pretty mch corrupted our minds when it comes to love. love is an action. when you you care about a person enough, you can love them by taking acrtion. i cant walk around saying that i love chocolate. it just doesnt work that way. i greatly enjoy eating chocolate, but i cant love it. true love leaves a mark on the person who is loved. love isnt saying, "im thinking about you." what good will thinking do? love isnt having a boyfriend that you like being around. but thats what the world has turned love into. love for someone can be expressed in so many different ways. it doesnt have to be outwardly expressed- simply praying for someone is loving them.
love never fails. in the words of Paul, "love is patient, love is kind, love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. it does not insist on its own way; it is not resentful; it does not rejoice in wrong doing, but it rejoices in truth. love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." thats love for you. i couldnt have put it better myself. love is true and true love leaves a mark.
i love you. this is me leaving a mark on you and the people reading this.
love,
sara.
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.
