UPDATE: Chip is HOME!!! He arrived at about 9:50. Amy came flying out of her house and beat me to the car to welcome Chip. :) After our hugs and greetings in the front yard, he walked over with Brian and Amy to see the kids. They were sleeping but all four woke up to see their Uncle Chip. Jaden ran into his arms and said, "Hi, Uncle Chip!" All is well with my Mama heart tonight. Thank you God for family and for the bonds of love that keep us close.
UPDATE: Chip called at 7:15 to let us know he was leaving Montgomery and would be here in about 2-1/2 hours!! There are storms (tornado watches and warnings) to our northwest so we will keep an eye on the weather reports and alert him to anything he needs to be made aware of. We are praying for his safety as his completed this last leg of his trip home!
UPDATE: Chip called at 4:00 p.m to say that he had stopped in Huntsville to take care of some business regarding his apartment there~~ making deposits on utilities and that sort of thing. He let us know that he was going to stop in Montgomery to visit his dear friend and ministry-buddy, Steve R.
UPDATE: After posting this morning at 8:30, Chip called at 9:15 to say he is hitting the road....
This picture was made last Christmas~~~ the last time that Chip has been home due to ministry constraints and the miles that have separated us with him in Indiana and us way down here. Richard and I visited Chip in May but Brian, Amy, and the kids haven't seen him since last December!
Chip completed his ministry in Indiana yesterday and is pulling out of there soon to arrive here sometime tonight to spend the week before reporting to his new ministry in the Huntsville area. It will be raining all the way down so we will be in prayer for his safety as he drives those some 11 hours. If you read this at anytime today, we would appreciate your prayers for him as well.
Godspeed, Chip. Be safe and we'll see you tonight, the Lord willing.
Love
Mom for the family
(Dad, Amy, Brian, Jarrett, Isabella, Joshua and Jaden!)
