HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY TO CHIP!!

Proverbs 23:15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

We are excited for we are going on a weekend trip. We are leaving out this afternoon to go see Chip in North Alabama. This will be our first time to visit him since he went on the pastoral staff at the church on November 1. We will get to see his rental house (he says it is the smallest house in the county!), his church, and visit some of his favorite restaurants as I doubt he will be cooking for us! The reason we are most excited is that tomorrow (Saturday, January 5) is Chip's 30th birthday and we will be there to celebrate that milestone with him. We are so blessed to be Chip's parents and are so thankful for God's blessing upon Chip's life as a youth pastor. He is touching a lot of young lives at a crucial time and is making a difference for the Kingdom of God. He is a faithful servant of Jesus Christ, a wise man, and a loving son. Surely doth my mother's heart rejoice!!

I am going to post some pics of Chip in celebration of this special time. Happy Birthday, Son ~~ and many more!

Love & Prayers Always,
Mom

Chip was a loving grandson to his 4 grandparents. Each of them contributed to Chip's Godly heritage though at a young age he learned he couldn't wing it on anyone else's coat-tails and gave his heart to Jesus Christ.


He graduated from Baptist Bible College and then went on to this happy day of graduating from Seminary with his M-Div.


He has a wonderful relationship with sister Amy~~ his only sibling.


He is a wonderful Uncle and loves Jarrett, Isabella, Josh and Jaden.


And we are proud to be his parents.


Chip, you will always be in our prayers as you pastor your teens and seek God in your personal life.
