A Peek into My Heart...

I have dreaded writing this email. It is such bittersweet news. I know you feel like everybody is leaving you and I can’t stand the thought of being another one. But God has opened a door of opportunity for us to move to the South. We will be leaving sometime over the next month. We are still saving the funds for the trip.

We have made such rich friendships here. Your family is so amazing! Totally pulled us in as family and loved us. All of you are so special to us!!! We talk about the LaBeans to everybody!

So anyway, we are packing and preparing. Wanted you to hear the news from us. I am a washing machine of emotion. Happy to be nearer to family (we haven’t picked out a home yet, still looking) and yet so sad to be SO far away from our Alaskan family. Well, I’m gonna go work on supper.

Love you so much,

Jeannie

Oh darling.  I am sure that it was a hard choice.  A lot of moves in such a short time along with a new addition in the midst of them must be wreaking havoc on your heart and soul for sure.

We have treasured your family also.  Thank you so much for pouring all of yourself into our girls at a vital time of their lives.  They will forever remember and hopefully implement the very graceful way of a mothering that you demonstrate.  May you reap what you have sown as others reach out to your children at their life changing stages of their journeys with God.

Blessings as you pack dear.  May you have all the strength you need. 

Do you want to email my girls or would it be easier if I tell them?

We will be by to visit soon.

Jeannie,

We will be there [Sunday - to help with the children during the Harvest Carnival]! You all are so special to Chris and I also and we are very excited for your family to move so freely in God's will. If you need anything through this packing process, please don't hesitate to ask.

See you Sunday Night and I'll talk to Chris to see what we will come as!


Love Ronni
