As we celebrate Christmas, we are grateful for the gift of Jesus and for each of you who walks alongside us in this season. This time of year reminds us that God is present, faithful, and still at work in the world. We are thankful for His calling on our family and for the community He has placed around us as we continue to follow Him.

We use this phrase quite often in our home; it sums up our experience with God and the church. God is inherently good. He's a loving father full of love, compassion, and mercy. We have experienced His love and presence firsthand.

Though the church is made of imperfect people, it is the conduit God chose to make His name known. Kayla and I are both children of the church.
