An update and a few photos

Hey Everyone,

It has been a while since anything has been updated on Lead Love Unite and I want to give you an update as to why.

Here is the reason:

Andyn Kate Small

Andyn Kate Small

Kelly and I are so excited that Andyn has made her arrival into our family! She is incredible! We are in a new season as our family grows and could not be happier. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of activity as we prepared for Andyn's arrival and then we spent some time figuring out what it looked like for us to be a family following her arrival. 

Andyn is already teaching us so much about each other, life, and God. I have been told time and time again by many different people that having a baby changes everything, and we are in the process of continually finding new things that are changing. 

I am blown away by the goodness of God and his faithfulness as a loving Dad to walk with us through every moment we encounter in our lives. I am learning a lot in this season, some things I love and some things I am not excited about. A couple examples are:

I am learning that I have a capacity to love that I never knew existed.
I am learning how incredibly selfish I can be at times.
I am learning that I haven't arrived in my journey to look and act like Jesus.
I am learning how much I love and cherish my beautiful bride.
I am learning that I have a lot to learn about the Father heart of God.
I am learning that there truly is a youtube video that explains everything!

As we continue to figure out what life looks like I want to let you know that there are some exciting things in the works for Lead Love Unite. I have been working with our collaborators on putting together our next series of posts that will focus around Matthew 5, 6, and 7, "The Sermon on the Mount."

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for new content and some exciting new additions to our group of collaborators! 

Thanks so much for leading in, loving on, and uniting the local church!
