Introduction	I don't think I can remember a day in my life when I didn't know without a doubt that God loves me...that He really loves me. In recent years, I have even learned I am fearfully and wonderfully made and He knitted me in my mother's womb before she even knew who I was. We are precious to Him-all of us, each and every one of us. This gives me great comfort. My faith is deep. It is what makes me tick. But I am still human and I mess up more than I would like. Each day, I ask the Lord to feed me humble pie. I am learning He calls us to be Holy simply because He is Holy. This is a tough one for me but I am open to His pruning. I love when God gives me the opportunity to be exposed to His concerns of this world. I feel the closest to Him when I am on mission trips. This is where my intimacy with Him grows beyond my imagination. It is there amongst such suffering, in service to Him and His people by stepping outside of my comfort zone - that I sense His presence the strongest. It is a beautiful thing!
