Winona Lake, Here We Come!

Well, there are a lot of changes in store for the Goodwins. In a week, we will be moving to Winona Lake, Indiana,a part of Warsaw. Marc will be the student ministries director at Christ's Covenant Church. It is of course a mix of emotions for us. Sad to be leaving such wonderful people, but excited to serve at a new place as well. How beautiful is this? This is a picture of where we're headed, taken by a sweet lady named Kari, who I think will be a dear friend of mine. :)


The Lord has been teaching me so much lately, I could write a book! I will refrain, but I WILL tell you about a great book called Friendship for Grownups by Lisa Welchel.



OH.MY.WORD. This book came at a great time for me. I am entering into new friendships here shortly, and I have really learned a lot about friendship this last year since having Caleb. This thought by Lisa sums up my thinking, "Isn't that what we all want? To be seen, in all our glory, for better or for worse, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and still be embraced?" She shares so honestly about her journey in friendships and lessons learned, and so many of them hit home with me. Nothing beats a good book. :)

Can't blog without talking about Caleb. He is well! Not looking forward to finding new doctors, but oh well. :) He is still itty bitty and will walk but not without prompting. We may pursue allergy testing and some physical therapy when we get settled. No worries, just suggestions from our pediatrician. :)
