Happy Monday!

Happy Monday folks!

I hope you all have been having a wonderful day thus far! I just wanted to say THANK YOU for reading the blog! It's greatly appreciated!

Today, guard your heart. Believe in the beauty of your dreams. You can do anything when God is backing you up!

I am filled with so much unexplainable joy right now! When you truly put God ahead of your own demands and desires, He takes care of you and gives you treasures that can't be bought. No amount of money, material thing, or person can fill that void (that we will all experience) like the love of Jesus can!

We will have good days, bad days, blah days, super exciting days....in the midst of it all GOD is good! Be encouraged no matter what situation you find yourself in today. God will never give you more than you can bear!

One more thing before I go....send up a prayer for me please! Seriously need to start this personal writing project but sometimes fear of the unknown and procrastination stop up my flow. I will continue to pray for you guys too! Thanks much!

"If I can see it, then I can do it. If I just believe it, there's nothing to it."

Day 27: My Thankful

I'm thankful that I'm slowly, but surely, learning how to save my money and not let it burn a hole in my pocket. We all need financial wisdom. If you don't know how to handle $10, what makes you think you can handle $100--let alone $100,000?? We have to "get it" at the level we are at now, and then we can be blessed with more (including more responsibilities).

I'm thankful that I have two sinks in my bathroom. My bathroom joins my bedroom and the guest bedroom together, and there happens to be two sinks to satisfy both occupants in those rooms. However, I feel really blessed to have that extra sink. The sink I usually use just recently got clogged up. Some hair probably got down in there or something. But until I get that situated, I have an extra sink! And I don't have to go down the hall to wash my face, hands, etc. Yay! =)

I'm thankful for the guy who cheated on me a few years ago. Without that event, I wouldn't be who I am today. I wouldn't be on this journey of self-discovery/purpose and learning who CANDICE is. I wouldn't have realized my soul's desperate desire to be closer to God than I had been to you. I wouldn't have known how to live without you. But it is possible, and I made it out alive and well and filled with so much JOY! So, thank you! :)

Day 22: My Thankful

Hey beautiful people! I'm gonna make this short and sweet, since I have to be at work in a few hours.

I'm thankful that today was a perfect Thanksgiving, just what I was hoping for. I thoroughly enjoyed all the time spent with family members I rarely see. The food was great, and there were no awkward moments. That's always a plus in my book.

I'm thankful that my dad's side of the family is coming together more and more. I just wish we would've been doing more prior to my grandpa's passing last December. Everything happens for a reason though.

I have so much to be thankful for! I'm filled with so much joy, and I love it!

Thanks for reading! What did you enjoy most this Thanksgiving?

Day 6: My Thankful

I'm thankful that prayer really works. Sometimes I find myself praying for things, and then I realize that what I've prayed for has actually come to pass. It amazes me. I know God hears my prayers, but sometimes I feel that I'm not doing something right when I talk to Him. Like I'm talking to air or something. But, NOT so!

I'm thankful that I'm finally through with a group project I had been stressing over.

I'm thankful for joy.

I'm thankful for LIFE!

I'm thankful that I have at least 3 good friends in the world.

I'm thankful that my Netflix bill will actually come out next week's check. So, extra cash pocketed! Whoot Whoot! =)

I Feel GOOD!

"I feel GOOD and I know it. Don't hate me if I show it. The joy I feel on the inside will show up on the outside."

Make it a GREAT day ladies and gents and feel GOOD while you're at it!

Turning Over A New Leaf

Ok, folks! I think I'm ready to change now. 


You may notice a trend in my postings, and I don't like it.  To me, I feel as if I complain and just broadcast my problems without even attempting to change anything.  I've really been thinking on these two phrases today--->If nothing changes, nothing changes.  You have to change to change.  


I have a surge of energy, and I have asked God to give me inspiration, motivation, and creativity to make my days brand new.  I'm literally SICK of complaining and making excuses.


This week, I am scheduled to take 3 finals.  Sad to say, this will be the most effort/study time I will put into my classes for this semester.  I may have to take a few classes over, mainly from lack on my part.  However, I am determined not to fail in life.  I will be grateful.  I will be productive.  I will find the good in every situation.  I will embrace knowledge and wisdom.  I will NOT sleep my life away, and I will NEVER allow my mind to be idle again. I will embrace my childhood love of reading and writing.  I will NOT be afraid to live anymore.  I will NOT worry about anything.


I really enjoy this quote from the movie Last Holiday, "Next time, we'll laugh more.  We'll love more; we just won't be so afraid."

It seems as if fear has been trying to pierce my dreams a lot lately.  Maybe you've felt the same.  However, just know it is only an attack planted for your demise.  There is SO much to live for.  There is a unique purpose you must fulfill while you are still breathing on this Earth.  My constant prayer is for everyone [including myself] to quickly realize what that calling is and just Walk It Out.


Seriously, keep God #1.  "One night with the King changes everything.  One moment in His courts will forever change your course..."  You will be amazed at the results.
