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.

so much more than soccer

{haiti day 4}
Dear Candice,
Today I went to soccer camp. There were about 100 kids there who were anywhere from the age of 6 to 14. What we did was we took a group of about 10 kids to different stations where we did things like pass the ball, race, and stretch. Then we sat them all down, fed them cookies and kool aid and shared the Gospel with them. For the afternoon session, I got to share the Gospel. I told the story of the women at the well. I wasn't sure what to say when I went up to share, but I know that God blessed what I had to say. The Gospel is not just something that you can mess up. At the end, I asked who wanted to have the Living Water that Jesus offered the woman at the well. 5 kids came to Christ. I'm looking forward to seeing them one day.
After soccer camp was finished we came home and ate dinner and had a devotion. One of our translators named Isaiah did our devotion. He talked about Jonah. His speech was beautiful and sure did inspire me. It's good to have reasurance that I need to do God's will on a daily basis.
4 days down. I'm loving it.
I love you.
Love,
Sara
