“Far better it is to dare mighty
things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to
take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much,
because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
“Sit down before fact as a little
child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever
and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing. I have only
begun to learn content and peace of mind since I have resolved at all risks to
do this.”
“When you walk to the edge of all
the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown,
you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something
solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly.”
Big changes are coming for the
Baldwin Bungalow. Larry recently was hired by Molina Healthcare which is located in Long Beach. Our San Diego house goes
on the market today and we’ve begun to look for a new home in Orange
County. There is the understandable
mixture of trepidation and anticipation.
One of the things I have always
loved about our family is that we love adventure. And by adventure I don’t mean the
thrill-seeking type… roller coasters, rock climbing, sky diving. I mean the kind of adventure that changes
your story.
God has proven to be faithful time
after time and we know that this will be another opportunity for us to learn to
trust Him and revel in our place in the grander story.
Please keep us in prayer through
this transition. Especially for the
kids.
The plan is for Emma to finish her
junior year here in San Diego. She started
school in July and is well into her FOUR AP classes. Not all AP courses are offered at every
school and we don’t want to waste the time she has already devoted to these
classes. In addition, this is a big year
for her competitive show choir as they are traveling to London in the spring.
For Madeleine and Benjamin this
will all happen right away and we want to make sure we support, encourage and
teach them in a way that will build character and not tear down spirits.
Isaac is living in Escondido with
some young seminary students and working full time and it will definitely be
hard on us as parents to be that far away from him. Pray for wisdom for him as he ventures into
adulthood and takes on new responsibilities and possibilities.
We will be closer to Landen! We are very excited about the opportunity to
be present for more of his productions and see him graduate next year!
So, the ride takes another twist
and turn. Hold on, Baldwins! Here we go!

Wow! Congratulations on the new job, Larry! I will be praying for your family during your transition. Thank goodness for Facebook...it makes the miles seem fewer! Excited for your new adventure!
Awesome! So excited for you all! Congrats on the new Job! Although change is scary, we learn and grow from it. You'll be closer to my parents as well. We'll be in the area in December. Need to plan on getting together!
