Valiness

Valiness excels in many academic subjects and catches on quickly to learn new things. She especially enjoys math and language arts. Valiness has professed faith in Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior. She is grateful that God forgives all who confess their sins and trust in Him. Valiness finds comfort in the fact that God is trustworthy and all-knowing.
