Today (well, December 16th technically) is a very special day because it marks the three-year anniversary of Tizzie's Tidbits!

This blog (and life in general!) has changed significantly since December 16, 2015. God has done amazing things for this blog and has provided so many other writing opportunities as well. I'm thankful to Him—and to you—for this amazing journey so far. To celebrate my three-year blogiversary, I want to share some thank-yous and details about a giveaway!

Meanwhile, I stood on the sidewalk beside my sister and a friend. I watched intently. I couldn’t help but ask myself when it would be my turn to dance.
