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.

falling in love

{haiti day 2}
Dear Candice,
We went to church today in Haiti. Church in Haiti is different than church in America. 1) The don't speak English 2) There is no personal space so I am squished 3) People in the pews aren't afraid to interject randomly with an "Amen" or "Hallelujah". and 4) Church lasted 2 and a half hours...It's pretty long.
So I just went down to the cretch which is where the orphans stay at the guest house that we are staying at. There is one little girl named Dafka who immediatley attached herself to me. She is one of the most beautiful children I have ever seen. She is two-years-old and speaks no english. She wouldn't let me put her down, so I sang to her. I sang to Dafka the old hymns that my mom used to sing to me when I was little. Dafka had no idea what I was saying, but she fell sleep. She slept and slept until she woke up about an hour later. I love her. She reminds me of you and I love it.
This is amazing.
I love you.
Love,
Sara
