March 2<\/b><\/div>\n
We had a great time serving\u00a0@fmsc_org<\/a>\u00a0with a group of students from\u00a0@NCCSEagles<\/a>. It was a privilege to pack meals that will be sent all over the world to feed hungry people. Lots of laughs and great conversation as we worked hard this morning! Grateful for the opportunity!\u00a0#GoEagles<\/a>\u00a0#WeAreNCCS<\/a>#NCCSFamily<\/a>\u00a0#7000days<\/a><\/div>\n

Incredible evening of stories and songs with\u00a0@stevencurtischapman<\/a>. Grateful for the simple reminder that God is faithful. I\u2019m so thankful for SCC putting his \u201cyes\u201d on the table to writing songs that have narrated my journey with the Lord and for he and\u00a0@mbchap232<\/a>being open handed with the@showhope<\/a>\u00a0story in a way that led\u00a0@clintstrange32<\/a>\u00a0and I on a journey to bring our precious son home. I also LOVE that Emma loves these songs as much as we do and has been singing her heart out all night with us.\u00a0#SCC<\/a>#SaddleUpYourHorses<\/a>\u00a0#7000days<\/a><\/div>\n

Father, break my heart for what breaks Yours. Everything I am for Your Kingdom\u2019s cause.<\/div>\n
Incredible time today seeing the work of\u00a0@food4thehungry<\/a>\u00a0in three precious communities today. Such a blessing to hear each group share stories of how the Lord is blessing them and using them to be a blessing to each other. What I saw today is an incredible picture of Acts 2 community living out the Kingdom of God here on earth.\u00a0#DominicanRepublic<\/a>\u00a0#LeveragingGood<\/a>#GospelCommunity<\/a><\/div>\n

4 years ago today Emma was baptized by\u00a0@georgewright3<\/a>\u00a0@cedarcrestchurch<\/a>. That was particularly poignant because it was George and Megan\u2019s son Brody\u2019s baptism testimony that the Lord used to prompt Emma to ask more questions and come to faith in the Lord. I\u2019d still love to know what our silly girl said to Pastor George right before he baptized her to get this smile. God is faithful!\u00a0#7000days<\/a>\u00a0@fourlittlewrights<\/a><\/div>\n

Softball and Baseball are underway for the Strange kids! Eli plays for the Acworth Astros and Emma plays for the Red Bandits. Eli hit a double and a few singles and played well in the outfield. He earned the game ball for today\u2019s game! Emma got a great hit and made her debut as a pitcher. Pitching was my thing growing up and I LOVE watching my girl choose that too. And it makes me crazy nervous to see her out there.\u00a0@clintstrange32<\/a>\u00a0and I love cheering these two on!\u00a0#7000days<\/a><\/div>\n

My first and best YES was to following Jesus. My second best YES was to following this man as he follows Jesus (1 Corinthians 11:1). 16 years ago today,\u00a0@clintstrange32<\/a>asked me to be his wife. That was an easy YES then and continues to be an easy YES today. Thank you Clint for being the man of my dreams and for leading and loving our family so well as you follow Christ and His best for our life. I love you babe! 3.14.03<\/div>\n

Its a beautiful day to be outside!\u00a0@clintstrange32<\/a>\u00a0has Eli at baseball practice and the girls decided to hit the driving range. It\u2019s such a blast for us to see our kids enjoy being active! This one has a goal of playing golf for the\u00a0@NCCSEagles<\/a>\u00a0one day!\u00a0#7000days<\/a><\/div>\n

Thank you\u00a0@NCCSEagles<\/a>\u00a0Lower School and\u00a0@NCCSArts<\/a>\u00a0for giving our Lower Schoolers the opportunity to perform some of our favorite Dr. Seuss stories! Emma was in \u201cGreen Eggs and Ham\u201d. All of the kids were awesome! Thank you Directors for your hard work these past several weeks!\u00a0#GoEagles<\/a>#WeAreNCCS<\/a>\u00a0#NCCSFamily<\/a>#7000days<\/a><\/div>\n

I had the privilege of serving in Ecuador alongside our NCCS Spring Term team. \u00a0HERE<\/a> is a link to a lot of pictures and stories about our adventures. \u00a0Powerful week!<\/div>\n

I absolutely LOVE our\u00a0@NCCSEagles<\/a>\u00a0SPRING TERM. It is a blast to spend the last week of March on mission somewhere in the world every year. I\u2019d never be able to do it without this rock solid HOME TEAM. Grateful doesn\u2019t even begin to scratch the surface of how much I appreciate the way that\u00a0@clintstrange32<\/a>\u00a0cheers me on in all things. He is intentionally raising Emma and Eli to help them understand that our family lives on mission. Spring Term Week is always a blast for our kids because they eat at all the places on the \u201cDad Restaurant List\u201d, go swimming at the Y on school nights, hit up the batting cage, and take care of ALL the other regular stuff. I love my precious family! I also love that FaceTime gives us a chance to check in.\u00a0#Grateful<\/a>\u00a0#7000days<\/a>#EliKeepingItReal<\/a><\/div>\n
