This last year has been so exciting. The ups and downs have brought my family closer not only in our own personal relationships with eachother but, with our God as well. My husband accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior on January 23, 2011 and it was the best experience for all of us to be around the dining room table with our pastor and friend Aaron, all heads bowed and eyes closed while my husband prayed to God for the first time in his life. It was the sweetest sound I've ever heard. I've prayed for my husband to be saved for a very very long time so my heart was full of joy and thankfulness on this beautiful evening. Now, fast forward to August 7, 2011 my youngest son, Ezrin went to our pastor and told him he wanted to be baptized. Ezrin had already prayed to our Lord and confessed he was a sinner and that he believed with his heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross for his sins. Our pastor asked him if he understood what sins are and Ezrin answered correctly. My whole little family is living the best we can for our Heavenly Father and I'm thrilled beyond anything in this world that we will get to spend eternity together worshipping our Lord. Ezrin will be baptized this next Sunday and when Ryan is ready to be baptized, Ezrin will get to stand in the water with his dad on that special day. We aren't perfect people, we aren't the perfect family, we are the Chipp's and we are here to do our best and serve our Lord not only as a family but, as brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you Father, for doing such a mighty work in our lives. We love you!
