Following His Path To Something Beautiful
Have you ever thought to yourself "The enemy is too close today."? That happened last week. It was already a heavy week, when I got the text that left me thinking was the enemy got too close. That wasn't the last time it happened last week either. I felt weak. And I had a emotional mix [...]
I have been writing the last couple weeks on the armor of God. And today, we get to the what has probably grown to be my favorite. That is the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. I don’t want any of us to miss the importance of this, because this is [...]
Last week I wrote about how my daughter was afraid to go to school, because a girl had been mean to her. But that story was actually about half of what had happened. When I was getting her ready for school, with only ten minutes to spare before leaving for the bus she asked me [...]

New on Candidly Christian Have you ever missed something? Have you almost missed something that God had before you? An opportunity? A blessing? A gift? I probably miss them more than I would like to. But today on Candidly Christian, I am sharing a time that I didn't miss the opportunity. Read the newest post [...]
Have you ever gotten a perfect gift? I am not a big fan of gifts. I really don’t like to open them, because I am so particular. It is even harder for me to open gifts in a large group. Because I also don’t really know how to control my facial expressions when I don’t [...]
