Candi, one of our smallest CVE family members, is our precious baby girl. As I think about the first day she came here, I think of her, nearly hairless, diaperless, listless, in her dirty little onesie. I remember thinking, "maybe if we can clean all that grime off, she might be cute." She didn't walk, crawl or seem to have a personality.

God has been good to this little girl. She has come to life, is quick to smile and her little eyes sparkle. She toddles herself all around campus and has a personality that could charm a porcupine fluffy and a temper that would force a jaguar to back off.

Please pray for Candi. Pray that she will be raised up as a strong woman of God.
Pray that Candi's past can be overcome, that she doesn't repeat the cycle from which she came.

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; " 1 Peter 2:9

I have noticed through your posts that her expressions and appearance have changed over time in a positive way. TLC has really helped Candi.

Keep on Keeping on!

"Show me the big in the small..." well said, bash, well said.
And may we remember that all the kids we work with are as precious as this little one, regardless of what their "outside package" looks like.
