My Utmost for His Highest

Will You Go Out Without Knowing?

Have you ever "gone out" in this way? If so, there is no logical answer possible when anyone asks you what you are doing. On of the most difficult question to answer in Christian work is "What do you expect to do?" You don't know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing. Continually examine you attitude toward God to see if you are willing to "go out" in every area of you life, trusting in God entirely. It is this attitude that keeps you in constant wonder, because you don't know what God is going to do next. Each morning as you wake, there is a new opportunity to "go out," building you confidence in God. ". . . do no worry about your life . . . nor about the body . . ." (Luke 12:22). In other words, don't worry about the thing that concerned you before you did "go out."
Have you been asking God what he is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do--He reveals to you who He is. Do you believe in a miracle-working God, and will you "go out" in complete surrender to Him until you are not surprised on iota by anything He does?
Believe God is always the God you know Him to be when you are nearest to Him. Then think how unnecessary and disrespectful worry is! Le the attitude of you life be a continual willingness to "go out" in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is very satisfying to Jesus. you must learn to "go out" through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point in you faith where there is nothing between yourself and God.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! :D

I am so excited about Thanksgiving!

One - I get to see my distant relatives! (I love them so much!)

Two - I get to pig out until I can't anymore! :) Then try to work it all off :(

Three -
I get to thank God for all privileges we have here in America and His love for us that God would provide for all our needs! We are so blessed! God deserves all the praise and thanks. That's what Thanksgiving is about. Everyone coming together and thanking God for His grace and love for our country and His people. He deserves our thanks!

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.

Psalm 86:12

I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.

Psalm 97:12

Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name!

Psalm 106:1

Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!

Psalm 136:2

Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever.

Psalm 136:3

Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures forever;

All better!!!

Well, I'm out of my sling!

Story of what happened:

I was playing on the basketball court at church (I was playing football :) and fell on my elbow. I thought it was just going to be a bad, bad, very bad bruise and didn't take any further action. The next day (Thursday) I went to COACH with it and it wasn't getting any better. So after COACH, before my ball game, I went to the Emergency Room and found out that I might have a Growth Plate Fracture (don't ask because I don't know). So I was put in a half cast thing and a sling until that next Monday. This last Monday I went to the doctor and found out that everything was somewhat okay, and I could take it off!!! =) (when I say "somewhat" that means it's still tender)
So anyway, everything is okay and I'm out of my sling!

We've played a couple games since last time I updated. I don't know the scores but our record this year is 4 wins and 2 losses. We are playing a game tonight that we are expected to win so then (if we win) we will be...well do the math!

So, schools going well and life too!

Many blessings!
