\n\nOctober 3 | Congratulations to our awesome City Leadership here in Acworth! Super excited to join so many friends in town for the Acworth bridge lighting tonight. Such a great piece to bring our city together between the lakeside and the parkside of town. #DestinationCity<\/a>#WeLoveAcworth<\/a>@visitacworth<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 8 |\u00a0Minding my own business at\u00a0@krogerco<\/a>\u00a0this evening, I noticed that my favorite brand and flavor of ice cream was on SALE!! It was about a third of the normal cost. So…wouldn\u2019t it be good stewardship to purchase three of them? I was originally planning to pay full price for the one.\u00a0#AskingForAFriend<\/a>#MayfieldMintChocloateChip<\/a>

October 11 | I LOVE this picture of my sweet babies. Emma tried out for something and was anxiously waiting the email to find out if she had been selected. She let out such a whoop of excitement upon receiving the congratulations email that Eli rushed in and wanted to see what good news she had received. Sometimes they fight like cats and dogs and do everything they can to annoy the other one…but when it really matters, I\u2019m so grateful that they are in each other\u2019s corner and truly celebrate each other\u2019s successes. I love these precious kids that the Lord has shared with\u00a0@clintstrange32<\/a>\u00a0and me!\u00a0#7000days<\/a>

Abbie Clark (10th grade) and Christian Moss (11th) from\u00a0@NCCSEagles<\/a>\u00a0won the guys and girls division. So proud of all of our participants running so that the people of Haiti can learn about Jesus, have clean water, and get to have a great education. Loved having our\u00a0@tritheparks<\/a>\u00a0friends running our timing today and keeping us all organized!\u00a0#GoEagles<\/a>#WeAreNCCS<\/a>#NCCSFamily<\/a>#HopeForHaiti<\/a>#7000days<\/a>

October 13 |\u00a0Looking forward to a great celebration of God\u2019s faithfulness towards and through\u00a0@cedarcrestchurch<\/a>\u00a0this morning! 15 years of watching the Lord do far more than we could ever think to ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). The best is yet to come!\u00a0#Grateful<\/a>

October 27 |\u00a0Today was a HUGE day\u00a0@cedarcrestchurch<\/a>\u00a0for a number of reasons as we closed out our\u00a0#FirstAndBest<\/a>\u00a0series. The 3 main themes of this series are that the believer should: 1. Give Generously2. Work Diligently3. Live SimplyIf we keep our mind\u2019s attention and our heart\u2019s affection focused on Jesus and hold everything with open hands, the Lord will allow us to experience more of Him than we could have ever thought to ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).\u00a0What a treasure to have\u00a0@clintstrange32<\/a>\u00a0share some of our story today as it relates to handling money God\u2019s way. We certainly aren\u2019t experts. Actually…come to think of it…we may be experts in doing all the wrong things first!! Clint shared about how the Lord has used\u00a0@daveramsey<\/a>\u2019s Financial Peace University to help our family learn biblical principles about money. For the last several years, Clint has led FPU at church and individually counseled people who have needed help in this area. My man is good at lots of different things, but he is particularly talented and passionate about biblical financial counseling. Like he said this morning \u201cI\u2019m sick and tired of debt keeping people from being as generous as they\u2019d like to be.\u201d\u00a0Thank you to our Pastor\u00a0@vanvandegriff<\/a>\u00a0for including Clint and encouraging people to reach out to him for support! *The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender. – Proverbs 22:7

October 28 |\u00a0My handsome sidekick for voting after school today. We went to City Hall in Acworth and voted for our friend Butch Price to be re-elected as Alderman in our city. The whole process from getting out of the car until we drove away was about 5 minutes.\u00a0#WeLoveAcworth<\/a>#VoteForButchPrice<\/a>
October 29 |\u00a0Congratulations to our Mayor Tommy Allegood and our awesome City of Acworth Leadership team for a great Fall Town Hall meeting tonight. Tons of excitement in the room as we heard updates on existing projects as well as announcements about new things coming for our city. Our family is more committed than ever to this town because\u00a0#WeLoveAcworth<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
