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.

omnicient


Dear Candice,
Today, I was reminded of how great of a God I belong to. I read this in Isaiah.
"So why didn't anyone come when I knocked? Why didn't anyone answer when I called?
Do you think I've forgotten how to help? Am I so decrepit that I can't deliver?
I'm as powerful as ever. I can reverse what I once did.
I can dry up the sea with a word, turning river water into desert sand, leaving the fish stinking in the sun.
I can turn all the lights out in the sky and pull down the curtian." {isaiah50:2-3}

WOW. Just wow.
It hurts my little human to head to try to think about how holy my Father is.
We've all heard the cliche that "God has a plan."
Candice, let me give you some perspective.
Before anyone knew you would be here, He planned your whole life.
If that's not enough, before the Savior of the world, in His divine power hung the sun in the sky, He planned that right here, right now, you would be who you are- unlike anything else He has ever, or will ever create.
He really is as powerful as ever. He's God. He can do whatever the heck He wants.
God is omnicient. He knows everything.
EVERYTHING.
Don't forget that. When you're struggling and you don't think anyone understands, He knows.
When you succeed, theres no need to shove it down anyone's throat. He knows. And let's get real here. He is the only One who really matters.
Candice, He knows you.
I love you.
Love,
Sara
