well well well.
Yet another Friday. But not just any Friday. Today I got to work early and brought my lunch. That means I will only take 30min and get out of here by 3:45. That is unless I have to put out a fire before I leave.
Things are going good for me I guess. I have a wife that loves me and a healthy Baby who could com plane. This next week I am teaching the High School group about the word LOVE. This will be a three week process going into the different aspects of love. From Friendship, to relationship , and following up on Valentines day talking about SEX. All with in the context of how God designed this emotion and the differences between them.
Daniel and Ginette are coming down this weekend so that should be fun.

My Utmost for His Highest - January 1
My Utmost for His Highest. "My eager desire and hope being that I may never feel ashamed." We shall all feel very much ashamed if we do not yield to Jesus on the point He has asked us to yield to Him. Paul says - "My determination is to be my utmost for His Highest." To get there is a question of will, not of debate nor of reasoning, but a surrender of will, an absolute and irrevocable surrender on that point. An overweening consideration for ourselves is the thing that keeps us from that decision, though we put it that we are considering others. When we consider what it will cost others if we obey the call of Jesus, we tell God He does not know what our obedience will mean. Keep to the point; He does know. Shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only - My Utmost for His Highest. I am determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone.
My Undeterredness for His Holiness. "Whether that means life or death, no matter!" (v.21.) Paul is determined that nothing shall deter him from doing exactly what God wants. God's order has to work up to a crisis in our lives because we will not heed the gentler way. He brings us to the place where He asks us to be our utmost for Him, and we begin to debate; then He produces a providential crisis where we have to decide - for or against, and from that point the "Great Divide" begins.
If the crisis has come to you on any line, surrender your will to Him absolutely and irrevocably.
