Come Alive with Candace

Last time 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!   If you missed it, check out link below! But today, as we wrap up this series, we are going to touch on these two stories found...

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...

Last time we talked about Understanding God’s Side of Our Trials and how His Discipline Enhances Our Development.  We discussed what discipline truly is and how the proper understanding of God’s discipline can actually grow us!  We learned a lot about growth and discipline through the story of Joseph!  One of my favorites!   We also broke down in the “Food” for Thought segment Romans 5:19-21 .  If...

When I was in college my roommate and I would call Valentine's Day yucky yuck love day! Mostly because neither of us had a special someone to celebrate with.

Last week we kicked-off our ‘But God’ series and talked about how we can acquire wisdom. We looked at a couple passages revealing how God so generously wants to give us this wisdom! And that no matter where you find yourself right now you have the ability and opportunity to see and experience that wisdom! Today, you will see first-hand the power that comes with believing in God’s promises. That po...

Introduction to a 5-Part Series where we will dig deeper into our perspectives when we face trials.  And discover a key factor in experiencing that joy God called us to in the very midst of those trials. God’s hand is on every aspect of our lives and we as His children have an absolute need to change our approach to God when saying (in our whiny voice) ‘but God’ to ‘BUT GOD!’ (in complete awe and...

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 t...

Rut is a habit or pattern of behavior that has become dull and unproductive but is hard to change. Have you been there?  Or maybe currently there right now?  Me too.
