Galatians Study

This summer I am studying Galatians and I am really enjoying it. There are some many foundational truths; I wish I would have study this before Romans back in the fall!

Here are some things the Lord is putting on my heart:

• Without Grace (unmerited favor) there is no way to have freedom from sin.


• My spirit and flesh are in opposition


• We are justified by faith alone - not by what we do, or don't do.


• There is nobody outside the reach of God's amazing grace. There is not a single person, no matter how bad or how stubborn, who Jesus does not love (look at Paul's life!!).


• Salvation is by God's grace, through faith alone, in Christ alone. There's nothing we can do to establish a right relationship with God except to believe in His Son and receive Him as our Savior and Lord.


• The Christian life is about acceptance, it is not performance-based.


• The only way to discern a lie is to know the truth...the truth is found in Christ.

Paul makes it clear to the Galatian's that he spent three years alone with the Lord to prepare himself for his ministry. Through prayer and study he knew God so intimately. This makes me ask myself, how much time do I spend before the Lord before I go out to bible studies or other various Christian events?

Chapter 2 is really good too...more on that later!

I pray each reader is spending time in the word and valuing your time with the Lord! He loves you and desires these things more than we could want them for ourselves!

Love2all!

PS... The picture above was placed to intrigue you to read to the bottom! It has nothing to do with the post! But I took it last Spring when Robby and I were flying over the Hoover Dam on our trip to Las Vegas!!

A celebrated birthday

Well this past week I turned 28 years old. Life is going by fast, seems like just yesterday I was 21! But it was a great day and I felt very loved and celebrated!

This is Will Hawk, our youth pastor and it was his birthday too! Will is tons of fun and we always have a good time at the office but on our birthday we acted a little bit more silly than usual...can you tell by the picture?




The cake on the left was the brownie cake that Karen Anne (Will's wife) made for us. It was so yummy and the cake on the right was what was left of the ice cream cake that Jennifer (our pastors wife) got us. Let's just say I ate enough calories between these two cakes to last me a week!
Robby and I on our way to eat at Carrabba's! It was so yummy!!! I had the Rigatoni Martino, next time you go, I recommend trying this!!

One of my favorite part's of the day was eating ice cream at Bruster's with our close friends. Thank you to The Herndons, The Pages, The Groce's and the Mobley's for coming to eat ice cream! (We missed the Cains :( but hope you guys had fun at the beach!!) And most importantly thank you for the spa gift certificate!! I can't wait to use it!

Love2all!!
