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...

nothing can stop Him
Dear Candice,
I've started reading this book called Forgotten God. It's by a man named Frances Chan who also read one of my favorite books, Crazy Love. So this book, Forgotten God, is all about the Holy Spirit. It's all about how the Holy Spirit can sometimes be pushed aside in modern Christianity because of the mystery of who He really is and what He does. It's an amazing book and it's definitely worth the read.
So there was a quote that Frances made that really stuck out to me.
"The world is not moved by love or actions that are of human creation."
He basically summed up everything right there.
When you think about it, it's so true. I mean, when's the last time that something was so changed and impacted in this world without the love and actions of the Spirit?
Never.
Honestly, the world would never change if it wasn't for the profound love and grace of God.
A few pages later, he said, "After all, if the Holy Spirit moves, nothing can stop Him."
So so true.
Now what I'm asking myself is where is the Holy Spirit moving in my life?
That's not an easy question either. Don't get me wrong- I haven't been ignoring the Holy Spirit, but I definitely think that I could be paying a whole lot more attetion to Him and what He's moving in my heart.
My question for you is, where is the Holy Spirit moving in your life? What is He doing in your heart? And most of all, are you paying attention?
Think about it.
I love you.
Love,
Sara
