Welcome to Our Goodwin Journey

A place of resources, tips and encouragement.

We’re sharing stories of real experiences, faith moments and difficult paths.

Wherever in the world your story takes you, we’re praying that our story can resource, encourage and help you along the way.

You’ll find that and more here at Our Goodwin Journey.

 

“My husband found your blog and it proved to be quite helpful! Thank you for documenting and passing on your wisdom as you’ve traveled through your journey.” – new overseas worker

“Thank you for what you share. You have such a gift of describing the thoughts, feelings, difficulties, and joys of following Him despite the uncertainties of life.” – blog reader

 

You aren’t alone on this path.

Your story matters to all of us who are journeying with you.

We’d love to connect our story to yours through our email community.

Be sure to reply to that first email and say hello!

We believe that God writes every single page of the journey with love, purpose and great design.

Each page of Our Goodwin Journey contains lessons of faith, growth, hope and joy through the challenges, difficulties and struggles of life.
