Because there are only 6 chapters that we will be reading in Lead like Jesus this year, one month we would need to skip, or find something else to read. Since this month's work for Principles of Liberty is on the heavier side, I decided to skip this month. Keep working on your EGO and getting your servant heart in line with what God wants you to be and do.
I have also not written down anything from your student manual to remind you, why write it twice when you are all capable of reading it from your student manual to know what you should be doing. :) This looks like a great month of discussion ahead of us, and I'm excited to learn with all of you!
November 5:
Principles of Liberty: Month 3 week 1 in your student manual.
November 12:
Principles of Liberty: Month 3 week 2 in your student manual.
November 19:
