We thought we'd do some profiles of some of the people we are personally discipling. We'll start with Candy, a talented and vivacious girl who is part of our Thursday night Missions Discipleship Group. Candy grew up in our church, El Centro de Fe "El Carmen," and is the oldest of three sisters. Something that really defines Candy is her creativity - she loves drama, photography and writing.
One of the things that makes our life interesting is the mix of personalities and giftings of the people who surround us. We encourage our peeps to be themselves and to avoid the "cookie cutter" Christian mentality. We are all striving to be imitators of God, as the apostle Paul exhorted us, and it's a beautiful thing to see how each person embodies this in different ways. We are truly fortunate to have Candy in our life and we're encouraged daily by both her godly example and her quirky originality.
Thank you very much for expressing this and I promise not to fool anyone (haha!) and of course you know me FOR EVERYTHING I AM - not just for what I could be. I am grateful to my Father who put you guys in my life and for all the blessings God has brought to me through you. May God bless you.
