This is such a cool theme to me and I hope I am able to squeeze in a few tidbits about peace before the month ends! If you'd like to share your own heart and thoughts with us regarding peace, please send me an email at hillary.thequietplace@gmail.com. I would love to walk along side you as a fellow blogger and sister in Christ. So send your post on peace my way!  On that note, I'd like to leave you with this...

John 14:27 Be at peace sister, God's got this, and he's not going to let us down.
