A great deal of change has sprung up recently. It hasn't been surprising, just difficult to swallow sometimes. In the past I've always welcomed change. I think because I was younger, without a family. I hadn't planted roots. Now I live in a town I adore, with a remarkable husband, three precious children, lots of wonderful friends, am part of a moving church.....it seems perfect. I don't want change, but it's happening. So in my freak out moments of "I don't want things to change," I do all I know to do which is pray. I'm praying for peace.....
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27 I'm reminded each day how faithful God is. He hears my heart, knows my needs and answers my prayers. I feel thankful today, I feel His peace. I feel equip for change; the words from Isaiah 26:12 resonating in my heart...LORD, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us.

Hey girl,
I am curious, what kind of change? More bambinos?
Love,
Mary
Mary, I just love you.
Three really close friends of ours have moved, and/or are in the process of moving. Friends that have been a huge part of our Wilmington life. No more babies. Goodness that would be too soon. My poor body needs a bit of a break. Thanks for being curious. I miss you so much. Talk about good friends being too far away. Man, now Im sad again. Why don't you and Matt come spend the summer with us.
Whats funny is when we were reading it I told Justin maybe you guys were moving. I didn't know it was your friends and he freaked and had to call you. He really misses your family and we do too. Things will work out. I'm sure there are plenty of moms out there looking for a friend like you. Your such a great person to be around.
