Romans 1: 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools
Ouch!
Like the time my GPS told me to turn around, and I insisted that I knew my way and ended up stuck on I-485 for forty-five minutes, burning through $12 of gas, yeah I thought I was wise…
Which reminds me, are you dating a fool?
Back in the day Doris Day popularized the saying “Que Sera, Sera – Whatever will be will be”…
Some people believe that life is just that easy, all you have to do is exist and life will work out exactly as it was supposed to be, others believe that life is evil and will never be satisfying…and then there are those of us (the sane ones) who know that:
life is meant to be purposefully enjoyed.
With that said, I am happy to announce that I will be passionately pursuing purpose and enjoyment this weekend!
Today and tomorrow I will be attending the Women of Faith Conference in good ole’ Charlotte, NC…if you’re going to be there, please wave at me if you see me…I will be the smiling one giddy with excitement…
If you can’t make it…I’m sorry to hear that…maybe we’ll see you next year…

Oh yeah I’ll keep you updated as the day goes!
Romans 1:20 says that God has revealed himself in nature and in the invisible things that are around is, so there is no excuse not to believe or trust him.
It’s easy to think of non-Christians and say there is no excuse for them… but do I really trust God with everything, to provide for everything? Then why do I worry? Why do I get depressed? Why do I cut corners (sometimes)?
Romans 1:17 Paul says that through the Gospel the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith.
If the righteousness of God is in the Gospel, if the righteousness of God is revealed from God’s faith to my faith through the Gospel, then why don’t I spend more time in his word? Are there other ways to learn about God outside of the Gospel?
Romans 1:16 Paul tells us that he is not ashamed of the gospel, because of the power within it
Am I ashamed of the gospel? Is it because I don’t realize it’s power? or is it because I’m too selfish and self-conscious to share it’s power?
So anyone who knows me knows how much I love the book of Romans.
The first time I started actually studying the book of Romans, I began to understand the rest of the Bible. So anyway I have begun studying the book of Romans again and I thought I would share some insights with you – of course it will not be thorough, I will just share a verse or two that stand out to me in each blog post. Please let me know what you think.
So of course let’s start from the beginning.
Romans 1:1 Here Paul establishes himself as called by Jesus; to be an apostle. He was not doing what he was doing just because he felt like it or because he had bills to pay, or because his parents would have been disappointed otherwise, instead he was doing what God had called him to do.
So it got me to thinking… am I doing what God has called me to do? Are you?
So now that you know more about ambassadors to the Nations, how can you help?
You can sponsor teachers, pastors, etc.
Thank you all for your help 🙂

Princess Ava Jo Foundation
Our daughter Lisa has always traveled to the Nations with us to do mission work since she was a child. Now that she is married to BJ Sullivan and they have 2 children of there own (Ava Jo & Judah James), we want the same passion for the nations to be in our grandchildren. We are already taking them to Mexico & Nicaragua at early ages. Our granddaughter, Ava Jo (3 1/2) has always loved dressing up like a princess or dress up clothes she owns. She even wears them to church and school. She also loves princess & Barbie Dolls. One day at home while dressing up like a princess, she told her mother, “I want to give some of my princess dress up clothes & Barbie dolls to Mexico & Nicaragua so the little girls there can dress up and be a princess too. So Lisa told me what she said and the Lord spoke to my heart to start a
“Princess Ava Jo Foundation” so she could get other little girls here to help her buy & give things to help bless little girls in other countries that are poor; so they could dress up and be a princess too and have princess Barbie Dolls.*So we want to encourage everyone to collect or buy little girl dress up clothes, shoes, jewelry and Barbie Dolls for the Princess Ava Jo Foundation.(Slightly used items will be accepted)
Lets help make a little girl know precious & special they are to Jesus. They are all God’s little princesses.
