Come Alive with Candace

Yesterday we talked about Discovering Our Purpose in His Plan and learned how to establish faith in an unfair fight.  We also learned what faith is and spoiler, it’s an ACTION!   We talked about a very well-known story of an unfair fight with a shepherd boy and a giant!   But today, as we wrap up this series, we are going to touch on these two stories found in Exodus 17 & 18.  They go hand-in-...

Today, you will see first-hand the power that comes with believing in God’s promises. That power can be revealed through our own personal testimonies. “Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah.  For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been...

An important part of understanding God’s side of our trials is to first KNOW GOD!  I think too often when we face trials we get so consumed by the trial itself that our perspective is solely on ourselves, not on God.   A vital part of understanding God's side of our trials requires discipline. *DISCLAIMER:  We will never fully understand God nor know the details of everything we endure this s...

What's your attitude like when trials hit? Do you have a ‘whoa is me’ mentality? Or can you see past the trial? Throughout this study, we will transform our thinking from self to Savior . By redirecting the response of (in a whiny voice) ' But God ...Why is this happening to me?' to instead convert our thinking to ' But God ! I trust what You’re going to do.'  The series i...

A question that I’ve been challenged by the past few years has been, ‘ What is my word for the New Year?’ As I began praying over the right word to meditate on, I couldn’t settle on just one. After a few days of wrestling with finding the right word, this thought clearly surfaced.  Why does it need to be just one word? Why not The Word?   I'd love to hear your thoughts!

For many years I often wondered, why is it so important to read the Bible?  I struggled with the head to heart connection.  Over time, however, God's Word became more than just words, but life!  ( Hebrews 4:12 ) I've often related reading the Bible to eating food (Ps. I love food!) But stay with me here. Our physical bodies need food to sustain life - correct?  Well, our spiritual bodies...

It never ceases to amaze me the timeliness of God! I was perusing through what my friend calls ‘my personal library’ and I came across my dusted up copy of ‘ Voices of the Faithful ‘ by Beth Moore and Kim P. Davis. (Sorry its dusted up Beth – please forgive me!) This amazing daily devotional is compiled of inspirional stories from Christian’s serving around the world and it grabbed my attention. S...

Anyone else encompassed with a strong and barely controllable emotion, known as passion ? My hand is waving frantically in the air. My Dad always told me I was very passionate. Gently, he advised me to be careful because what may be my greatest strong suit could also, become my biggest weakness. Whether you have a more openly passionate personality or more controlled I should tell you that, passio...

Back in April 2020, this was a message the Lord laid on my heart. "Food for Thought" ...three years later, it's amazing how God connects the moments of obedience to create a clearer picture!   "Anyone else love food? Like so much it would be your #1 love language if it were an option? No judgement here if you say yes! Because that’s been me! For as long as I can remember! And t...

Mommas, how many times have you found yourself, down on our knees, eye-level with your littles, reassuring them it’s going to be okay? Confidently saying, in a gentle tone, ‘ Trust Mommy, I’ve got this! ’ How did that make you feel? Being the one in charge, to those precious, helpless babes? And yet, they doubted or questioned you? Especially when you knew whatever the situation was, that you were...
