The house is "done". For the most part. The kids are coping. They really seem fine for the most part, just really love challenging the limits!
I am still processing...there is still a lot to take in. I'm new to this blog thing and this post is generally me playing with how it works.
Love, Baltimore is how God has been preparing my heart for this new thing. We basically have made this move because we felt God telling us to. In part practically through a job opportunity. In other part seeking out community living with good friends up here--we're being intentional about eating meals together and sharing a washer & dryer etc.
It has taken me years to get here. To the place of being able to share my life openly. To the place of being willing to have community living. To the place of letting go of my comfortable suburban house and moving to the City of Baltimore, in an apartment. On the third floor with 2 little ones. It's a journey I am still on, it's an adventure that has ups and downs as I grieve my other life, as I had to say goodbye to many dear dear friends. The comfort I find in this is we are following God. And he is bigger. Much bigger than it all!
I may tell the story from years ago, I may tell it from now. It's my "Getting Out of the Boat" story. Getting to the place where I can let go, and give him everything. HA! It's still a theory and I have a lot to go! I am learning how to hold my life with open hands. Learning to be transformed. Learning to abide.
I feel certain many will be confused by this blog and I probably will be all over the place *as is my Random Brain, much more scattered these days by my mom mentality with little ones. But oh well...it's mostly for me anyways!
