So I was told by a certain someone ANITA!! lol that I should write in my blog because this week will be the last time I will be signing my name as "Candace Finley" After Saturday it's going to be "Candace Cross". I have lived with my name as a Finley for 26yrs now and it's going to be a big change to not sign it as that.
Change is always good although I a lot of times do not grasp change as well as most people because I'm comfortable with things the way they are. Ask Jeremiah when he proposed to me instead of saying "Yes I'd love to marry you" I replied with "Oh my gosh are you serious?" lol
But to be honest I can't say I ever would be saying to people I'm getting married, because for a long time I didn't feel good enough to get married or that I'd ever find that special someone everyone talks about. I'd gag at the sight of lovely dovey couples they seriously disgusted me. But now I'm one of those people lol Because I have found the love of my life and I try everyday to show him in one way or another how much I love him.
In a few short days I'm going to have a house of my own where my dog Ace and cat Mr. West will be our kids until God gives us kids(Which isn't right off). There is going to be a lot of changing going on with my living arrangements, how I spend my money, my free time everything will change. But in this circumstance change is a good thing! And I will embrace it full heart!! And can't wait for the next chapter in my life. My next blog I will no longer be a single person but a happy married person.

LOVE...
So I've been told by a certain someone I haven't written in awhile so I guess I should express some of my thoughts now. LOL. So I thought I'd talk about LOVE yes LOVE I mean it is Valentines Day next week and all.
I know all you couples out there will be all gitty on this day and all you single people will be all like "Why did this day have to even come". LOL I use to be in that boat TRUST ME but not this year I have a great guy I not only get to spend a special day with but I get to spend a lot of other time with him as well. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Ok enough about me, so for those of you that hate this Holiday for various reason rather it be you single and you don't have a special someone in your life or you've been hurt on this day or any other reason as to why you might hate this day. I want to brighten your thoughts about this day.
So in the Bible the most talked about thing that is ever mentioned in the bible is LOVE, yes that's correct it is LOVE. Love your Neighbor, Love the Lord your God, Love your Enemy and the list goes on. So lets say you don't have a special someone to spend the day with and you feel depressed every Valentines Day or you hate the day for other reason well this might make you feel better. God LOVES YOU!
Yes you in all your imperfections,quirks and habits he LOVES you! And even though you may not like Valentines Day as a Whole you can still have a peace of mind that there is someone who LOVES you even more than you can even fathom. And that should make you feel even better because God will LOVE you even more than your parents LOVE you.
Take a minute and think about how much your parents,friends or loved ones LOVE you now times that but 1,000 that doesn't even come close to the amount that God LOVES you but it's pretty darn close.
This day can be pretty awful for a,lot of reasons but I hope everyone can see that God LOVES you and for that you should feel great!

**Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away". - 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8*
