Team Family
The past two weeks have been a little challenging in the Chiapperino household. I have had to travel quite a bit. As you saw from the posts below I spent much of the last week in September at the Small Groups Conference in Chicago, and most of the first week in October at the Orchard Group church planting retreat in upstate NY.
It was difficult to leave Shelli and the boys for that long. When I flew back from Chicago I only got to see the kids for about 20 minutes before I crashed and went to sleep. I got up early the next morning buzzed over to the church for the mornings services and left for NY shortly after.
What has gotten us through all of this was the support of family. My mom was here with Shelli and the boys for the first trip and Shelli’s Mom, Sister and her husband were here while I was in NY.
Our families are wonderful and it is great to know that when life gets a little crazy we can still circle up the wagons and take care of each other. I hope I get to return the favor and support them in the future with the same love and care that they have supported us.
