About Me
Hey! My name is Candace.
I'm a wife, mom, encourager, prophetic voice, aspiring author, seeker of truth, freedom fighter, deep thinker, straight shooter, reformer and recovering perfectionist.
I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 20 years and we have 3 children together. For the last 18 years, I have worn many different hats; wife, mom, administrative assistant, prayer warrior, women's ministry leader, and homeschool mom to name a few.
I love real, vulnerable conversations and hate small talk.
If you are looking for more, want to be challenged in your life, against the current cultural narratives and in your walk with God, then I'm your girl!
I love pointing people back to the word of God and using it as the plumb line that we measure everything with, allowing it to bring us back into alignment.
I love seeing the word of God transform people's lives and meeting them right where they are!
My Story
I was raised in a Christian home and have loved the Lord as far back as I can remember. I always knew in my head that God loved me and tried my best to be a "good Christian," but I always found myself falling short. My heart was longing to feel loved, to be seen, heard, valued and accepted.
Because of the brokenness, abuse, unmet needs and perfectionism I experienced growing up, I believed the lies of the enemy, which led to me trying to get the deepest needs of my heart met through other people and things.
I blamed everyone, numbed my pain through overspending, overeating, performance, relationships, and never felt like I fit anywhere or was enough. Other times I felt like I was too much, too outspoken, too “spiritual,” and felt rejection everywhere I turned.
I was angry, bitter, resentful, prideful, legalistic and eventually hit my lowest point, knowing that something had to change....and that something was ME!
It wasn't until I took a very sobering look in the mirror and allowed God to go to the deep, dark places in my heart and reveal the truth to me that I learned how to forgive myself, others and began to overcome negative mindsets & wrong beliefs.
When I finally took responsibility for my life, stopped blaming others, allowed God's word to come alive and heal me at a heart level, I began the healing journey of finding my way back into the father's arms and allowed his love to heal me, renew me and restore me from the inside out!
My Experience
My life is proof that no matter how far you think you've gone, what you've been through, or how broken you feel, you are never too far gone.
God will go to any length to reveal himself to you.
If you seek him, you WILL find him.
He will be with you when you walk through the fire.
He will pick you up wen you fall, cheer you on to keep going and keep pushing when you want to give up.
He will literally love the hell out of you and love you into wholeness.
He will always keep his promises.
His word will never fail.
His word can take what's broken and make it whole.
He will renew restore everything that's been lost, stolen or forfeited.
How do I know?
Because I've experienced all of these things first hand.
If you're finally ready to break free from the things that have been holding your heart and mind captive, to take responsibility for where your life currently is, and allow the word to challenge and ultimately set you free, then join me on this journey of finding health and wholeness through the word of God!
