MY TOP 10 VALUES.

1. God exists. Jesus is God. He is the only way to Heaven. Believe it…everything changes. John 14:6.

2. Scripture is inerrant. Hear the word of God. Speak the word of God. Do the word of God. I won’t operate my my life today on yesterday’s revelation. 2 Timothy 3:16.

3. My family matters. My family (my hunk of a husband, Joe, and our future children) is my primary ministry. Before the church.  Before my friends.  Before the city I live in.  Before the world. 1 Timothy 5:8.

4. Adoption. God has a heart for the world…my family will reflect His heart. John 14:18.

5. The Church is necessary. The church is dear to God’s heart. He wants us involved.  Hebrews 10:25.

6. International Missions. It’s simple:  I will go. Matthew 28:19-20.

7. Conversions. I will celebrate large numbers of people coming to know Jesus.  I will celebrate the 1.  I will celebrate with passion, enthusiasm & zeal! Luke 15:1-8 & Acts 2:47.

8. Excellence. If I’m going to do it, I’ll do it well. It’s easy for me to get spread thin which leads to “winging it”. That’s normal. Excellence? Extraordinary. I choose the latter. 1 Corinthians 14:12.

9. It’s about others. Helping other people find Jesus, purpose, and passion in their lives energizes me. I want to help maximize others.  How can I serve?  How can I encourage?  How can I energize others?  Ephesians 6:7.

10. My best days are still to come. Looking in the rear view mirror of life doesn’t help me. My past is gone. Done. Over. My future is still a blank canvas. God has colorful plans… Jeremiah 29:11.
