I am a reformed shy kid. Most people who know me would be surprised by that, I think. I am a middle child, a third born. My two older sisters have the same initials, and my younger sister is 5 years younger than me – and always adorable and memorable.

I also see a deepening knowledge and understanding of who God is and His character. He is a good and faithful God who never leaves us or forsakes us. He is completely trustworthy. He hears our cries for help, collects our tears, knows us intimately, provides for us, and is with us as our constant companion. He bore the guilt and punishment for our sins, willingly and graciously. When I pause, I see the many ways He has been good and faithful to me.
