Welcome!!!!
Come on in and stay awhile!
I am so thrilled with what Susie has done here that I've just been sitting and contemplating what it would feel like to jump off that cliff and float freely into that water below. I hope that you get that feeling, too.
Yes, it is frightening sometimes to leave what we find comfortable. Yes, it is scary to let go of the safety of the familiar. Yet, with God securely protecting us; we can step out in faith and walk in freedom. Freedom from the fears that bind us and paralyze us at times. Freedom from prejudice. Freedom from all the "shoulds" in our lives.
I am preaching to myself as much as to any of you.
May we all remember today and every day:
So, welcome friends! Pull up a chair, sit down, and relax, knowing this is a safe haven. This is a place with no judgment, no reprimand. This is a place you can comment and relate Without Fear.

Woo-hoo! I'm your first comment! What an honor...
The new home is lovely, and the name is great. I'll go change you on my blogroll now.
Happy housewarming! ;)
Oh wow! I love this template! Inspiring!
A number of years ago, I felt like God laid it on my heart to "jump off the cliff and trust that He would catch me". Obviously, this was not meant literally, but He wanted me to learn that He has always there waiting for me, that I could always expect to land in His arms. The idea of the mother eagle who nugdes her baby out of the nest and follows it down to catch it before it hits the ground is the picture that stands out in my mind. That baby is going to learn to fly at heights greater than other bird, but it has to learn how to do it through a number of free-falls.
God is good and is able to grab us, isn't He?
I know that this is a REALLY long commentand I hope it makes sense, but your blog reminded me of this! Just had to share!
I am so excited to see you stepping out and doing what God has called you to do. I have been so blessed by your posts in the past. I know God has even greater plans for you here with this new blog. Share your heart, share what God is showing you,and don't be afraid... when we are all able to be genuine and real with each other we are able to experience true and lasting spiritual growth.
Looking forward to growing with you as we step out in the confidence that God is with us. I asked Jason and Josh what your picture made them think of... Jason said it makes him think of Jesus coming back. Josh said "I am not afraid because God is with me. Evne if I die God is with me, right momma?" With that thought in mind what do we have lose?
Love,
Kelly
Peach, I love your new home. I love even more that you are following God's words, taking the leap and letting the Spirit lead you without fear.
If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
and
I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Php 4:13
You go girl!
I looooove it! Oh Peach, this just is you! That picture takes my breath away!
Congratulations on your new site! I love it!
Here is something you might want to post, to help people remember what fear is. Our 3 (almost) teens have this memorized!

Peach! Happy bloggy home warming! Those leaps of faith are generally terrifying but ultimately rewarding! LOL Good for you!
Sandy,
That is wonderful. I had that written on a slip of paper that I kept on my dresser until our last move. Thanks for reminding me!
Thanks for visiting today. I'd love to have you come back some time. If you like, you can read my archives over at Just Peachy to get to know me better.
I love your new header, and of course, you have to know the sunset was the first thing I noticed! I'm looking forward to following you on your fearless journey.
This is beautiful, Peach. I love, love your header and as always, Susie did a beautiful job.
I'm so glad you left Typepad. Completely selfish of me, but honestly, I've had trouble commenting on Typepad blogs for two months now. I've even contacted them and nothing works.
So welcome back to good old blogger. The new blogger works sooo much better than the old version.
This is just gorgeous.
By the way, thank you for posting the prayer request for Addie on your old blog. I'm not even going to fight with trying to leave a comment on it but the whole family appreciates all the prayer requests. Waiting to hear from my sister is making this a very long afternoon.
Oh my dear friend... what a breathtakingly beautiful place! And you have no idea what this post and the title alone did for me and my trembling heart today.
Things become very final in our decision making in the next week or so. I'm a little fearful of the unknown, but after this, I am moving forward clinging to the promise from God's Word posted here and walking with you....
Without Fear!
Love your new look,Peach! I struggle with fear and worry at times, so this is a great reminder for me! Every time I come here,I will be reminded of God always there with me.
What a gorgeous picture!!!
Love it~
Kim
I love that verse in Isaiah! I'm a new reader---love the look of your blog!
Blessings~
Lovely new place here Peach! You and Susie have really done a wonderful job. When I first joined my church after arriving at college, we learned these verses as a song. Reading them always brings that song to my mind and heart. "I will uphold you with My rigtheous right hand." - makes me feel safe.
Love your new home!! I'm looking forward to reading many more great posts, friend!!
Beautiful blog design! Susie did mine too, isn't she great?! :)
