Change

Change is hard.  Change is scary.  Change shakes things up, messes up the safe routine of life.  Change is also necessary and often good.

2012 was a year of huge change in the life of the Williams family.  Guess what?  It was hard, scary and shook things up.  Guess what else?  It was also good.  We survived and even grew from it!

I am so appreciative of all of you who have followed our journey over the Andes in Peru, our year in the jungle, and some of our little adventures there and in our home.  We have heard so many encouraging and kind words about this blog, and it means so much to us.

We are no longer "over the Andes" or in Peru.  God has brought us home to Texas and this is where we will stay until He moves us again.  Texas is very different from Peru, imagine that.  Life in the United States, although familiar to our family, is also different from life in Peru.  We are adjusting, learning and taking it a day at a time.  Oh, we are also enjoying it!  We are part of a loving, kind and giving church family that has welcomed us back unconditionally and this has made the transition so much easier.

We truly hope your prayers will continue for the Peruvian people you have met through this blog.  We hope some of their stories have touched your heart and challenged you in some way.

This post is to sign off of this blog site and direct anyone interested to a new one ~ Musings From Miriam ~ at http://miriamruthwilliams.blogspot.com/ ~ I know, not nearly as exciting as being over the Andes, but it is a good way for me to put into words the thoughts, ideas and experiences God gives me.  Hope to see you there!
