From Labor Day on the Lake, to Eli\u2019s baptism at church, to Eli\u2019s soccer games, Emma and I working our last triathlon of the season, Middle School Softball, and Fall Break in Aruba\u2026September was full of fun as we made lots of memories together! \u00a0I\u2019ve included some social media posts from the month as well as some pictures below.

September 4 Where are you headed for @NCCSEagles<\/a> Upper School Spring Term 2020? Excited to officially launch Spring Term during chapel tomorrow. Grateful for these incredible opportunities to engage our hearts and minds for the sake of the gospel! #GoEagles<\/a>#WeAreNCCS<\/a>#NCCSFamily<\/a>#nccsst20<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


September 7 Congratulations @visitacworth<\/a> on an awesome first Pizza, Pints, and Pigskins event at Logan Farm Park. We had a blast! The food was great, we saw lots of friends, and we almost melted ? #WeLoveAcworth<\/a>#7000days<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


September 8 Today was a HUGE day in the Strange family as our precious son was baptized @cedarcrestchurch<\/a> so that he could tell everyone \u201cI have decided to follow Jesus!\u201d I\u2019m so grateful for so many of you who have prayed for Eli, prayed for us, and been the hands and feet of Jesus as you have poured into our son and our family over the years. Today was a celebration for sure!  Some dear friends prayed Scripture over our boy and one of our friends made it into a beautiful piece of artwork to celebrate this day. \u201cBe on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.\u201d \u202d\u202d1 Corinthians\u202c \u202d16:13-14\u202c \u202dNIV\u202c\u202c<\/p>\n\n\n\n


September 9 Thank you @cedarcrestchurch<\/a> for giving Eli a chance to share his testimony on video before his baptism. What a treasure! God truly does write the best stories! #Grateful<\/a> I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. – 3 John 1:4 Eli\u2019s Baptism Video<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


September 10 A two hour weather delay ended up cancelling our @NCCSEagles<\/a> Middle School softball game in the end…but these girls sure know how to make lemonade out of lemons. They played and laughed and made the very most of our time trying to wait out the weather. It\u2019s truly been a blessing helping coach these young ladies. They are an awesome group of girls and they definitely keep me laughing! We didn\u2019t get to play the softball game that we hoped to play today, but I still think it was time well spent! #GoEagles<\/a>#WeAreNCCS<\/a>#NCCSFamily<\/a>#MakingMemories<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


September 13 Before the weather got crazy, we had a blast at the @NCCSEagles<\/a> Football game hanging out with Swoop and celebrating some of our Fall Sport Seniors (Softball, Cross Country, and Volleyball). After that, the lightening, wind, and rain came and just would not go away. Play was suspended and we will try again tomorrow evening at 7:30pm. We hope to see all our Eagles fans in the stands! #GoEagles<\/a>#WeAreNCCS<\/a>#NCCSFamily<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


September 14 After being cancelled for almost two weeks due to high temps, Eli\u2019s soccer season officially got underway this afternoon. We love cheering on our precious boy and he LOVES to run and kick the ball, so it was a great afternoon for all! #7000days<\/a>#WeLoveOurBoy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


September 14 Today was the last race of the season with our @tritheparks<\/a> race volunteer crew. We have had so much fun this season! Emma and I were able to help at every race this year and we can\u2019t wait for next year! Today Emma met an extraordinary young lady that she will never forget. Tatum has some physical challenges, but she was 100% committed to finishing her first paratriathlon. She totally rocked the swim and the bike, but the run loomed large for her. Emma, Logan, and some of our other staff kids decided they\u2019d run the 5K with her to encourage her. I assure you that they all came back far more encouraged themselves than they could have imagined. Tatum, you inspired me as well! So grateful for these moments with my precious girl! #7000days<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


September 17 What a night at the @NCCSEagles<\/a> First Grade Fairytale Ball! So grateful for our awesome Lower School and all that they do to make learning fun! What a treat to see my \u201cPrince Charming Eli\u201d all dressed up in a \u201chandsome\u201d (as he calls it) shirt. Lots of fun with sweet friends! #7000days<\/a>#GoEagles<\/a>#WeAreNCCS<\/a>#NCCSFamily<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


September 19 It\u2019s been such a gift to get to help coach our @NCCSEagles<\/a> Middle School softball team this year. This is an awesome group of young ladies and it\u2019s been an absolute blast to get to know them. Today was our last regular season game and I realized I had no pictures of my precious girl. So..I snapped a few quick ones..at bat, on base, and playing third. What a special time this has been to share together! #GoEagles<\/a>#WeAreNCCS<\/a>#NCCSFamily<\/a> ? #8IsMyGirl<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


September 26 SABBATH | Fall Break 2019 So grateful for the opportunity to rest, adventure, and spend time with my people as we explored the beautiful country of Aruba. Thank you Lord for the gift of precious time together! #7000days<\/a>#OneHappyIsland<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


September 30 Powerful time of looking at God\u2019s word and what He has to say about Blooming Where We are Planted led by @mikelinch<\/a>@nsckennesaw<\/a> at Lunch with a Leader. Thank you Mike for pointing us to our purpose in Christ! #LifeOfMoses<\/a>#BeFaithful<\/a> \u202c Exodus 2:9-10. Hebrews 11:24-26 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
