Last night we were whisked away by an Amish buggy (can you imagine the hilarity of it in our subdivision?) to a secretive, yet romantic evening planned by our friends from our church community group – lifeSOURCE.
We were greeted at the Stutzman home by 14 dear friends lined up for our arrival. It was quite touching to see them all there waiting for us as we rolled up in the buggy. The evening ensued with a serenade by Kaitlyn the violinist, a 5-course meal, amusing entertainment, and expressions of thankfulness and love by each of our friends as they waited on us.
It’s hard to put into words just how blessed we were by their love and their gratitude. Jon & I have been doing young adult ministry together for 8 years, and this is the first and only group to honor us in such a way. Our hearts were full of emotion, gratitude, and genuine love for this community. All our sharing and caring has made a difference in their lives, and we know that their lives and hearts have been entrusted to us by God. Our prayer is that we continue to impact their lives by setting the example of Christ.

Thank you friends for loving us. We LOVE you all!
and thank you Mom, Gretchen & Luke for your assistance is this romantic evening!!

So we’re in the Goshen News this weekend! Blue Star, Inc. that is. 

The Goshen News is running a Sunday feature article on 30-somethings that have Goshen ties that own a business in downtown Goshen. That’s Jon! so we emailed the reporter covering the feature and asked her about Blue Star becoming one of the stories. She came in on Thursday, sat with Jon for a little while, took our pic, and thanked us for the opportunity to speak about our business.

Jon did a great job describing our business and what we do. And our pic is kinda fun too!

Enjoy the article!
