I guess it was 1987, I was new to this small town in Virginia called Bluefield. It was my first day in school, strange faces, different dialect, new feeling of no friends. Well this bubbly girl was the first to approach me and make me feel welcomed. I never forgot this girl, even some 25 plus years. Her name , Candice Beavers. We have remained friends, yet, slightly out of touch via distance, lack of technology as of today. Well Facebook came about and my old friend and myself had become reacquainted. She had become a devout Christian, and myself; an alcoholic. I'd chastise her post and question her belief in Christ until one day I fell upon wounded knee and asked her advice.

Candice gave me so much more than advice. She gave me a direction, a path, and the courage to break down the walls I had built myself. It was a slow walk, yet, a walk. Thru the humbled advice of a caring friend, unfortunate circumstance at my job, and the birth of my beautiful daughter, August 3rd 2016 will be my second year of sobriety. Thru Christ we have strength, Phil. 4:13

I just want to give a shout out to a lady who inspires me every time I encounter her in any way. It doesn't matter if it is on facebook or face-to-face, she makes me feel so good inside. She has the Holy Sprit all over her. She also has health problems but you would never know it. Even on her worst days she is an inspiration. She reminds me that I am so lucky to be a child of God. She will go out of her way to make you understand Gods love. I feel so blessed to call her friend. Thank you Candice Waller for sharing Gods love with all of us. You rock my socks sister.

Candice, your obedience to the Lord is what touches my heart and drives me in my own ministry quest. The strength and drive that you exhibit as you joyfully post words of strength and encouragement in midst of your own battles with pain and life drives me to be a better man of God and look past excuses and just do what the Lord has called me and others to do. Thank you for always being willing to step out of your comfort zone to do what the Lord has laid on your heart and to help other to find FREEDOM in Jesus. I'm excited in what Lord has planned for you and can't wait to get to minister alongside you and your family. God Bless my sister in Christ and dear friend!
