Candice Lea (CandiceLea): 23, Female
United States

Hometown:: Missouri

Relationship Status:: Single

About Me:: I am a 23 year old college sophomore. I go to a Christian work college where I work to pay for my tuition. I am studying English, since I hope to someday use my love of writing to glorify God. I was raised on a hoby farm, so I love farmy stuff. I used to raise dairy goats and pigs, etc, both of which I hope to do again someday. I have been blessed by an incredibly supportive family who moved across the country so that my siblings and I could go to college, find jobs, meet spouses, etc. I was homeschooled k-12, which accounts for my eccentricity. Oh, and most importantly, I am a born again Christian who is dedicated to serving God in every aspect of my life. For years I have had myself convinced that I was going to be a "fullfilled single serving God" for the rest of my life. God has been showing me lately that such feelings are not from Him, but from my fleshly fear of rejection. I have disliked the Christian single mantality for years, and God showed me that I had actually become a part of it. Then, I found this amazing website! Talk about God working in a person's life!

Writing my first blog...

It is happening. At this very moment...7:52 pm on March 26, 2008, I am writing my first blog. Well, technically it is already 7:53, but you get the point.

I am currently on spring break. I have been busy, but it has been nice just to be at home. My family has looked at several pieces of property this week, but we have not yet found anything especially promising. We did find a small house in town yesterday that would be perfect for our "city house" that we have been considering. My whole family is seeking God for guidance, as we want to serve Him more than anything else.

It seems like life is uncertain most of the time. The house we are renting right now looks like it might be selling, so where I will be living next month is anybody's guess. My family is trying to open our drive-through espresso business. But...the town we are currently residing in does not allow "temporary" buildings. Where we will be able to open the business is also anybody's guess. As I mentioned, my family is looking to buy over 20 acres of land somewhere to start our homestead. We have not decided where yet. So, I do not know where I will be spending my life. I am single...and at this time with no glaring prospects...so I don't know who I will spend my life with either. To some things up...life is uncertain.

Lest you wonder why we don't just up and move, my brother, sister, and I are attending a local college. As it is one of the only tuition free work-study colleges in the nation, we do not plan to move until after graduation.

So, I am living in the land of Limbo. I am trying to pray boldy for guidance...but at the same time I am trying to practice patience. It is working out okay so far. I have moments when I want scream, and then I have moments when I have total peace. I guess God knows how to grow me.

For now, I am trying to rest in the fact that "God work all things together for good..."
