Surrender

We have been getting ready for the next Discipleship Training School to begin on Monday, Jan. 11th. The theme for this year's school is "Surrender" as described in Philippians 2:5-8.
"Have this mind among yourselves, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross."
This is such a challenging portion of Scripture for me personally - all about dying to self, not holding on to my stuff, my rights, my expectations. Oh, how I need God's grace daily!

Here is the photo which I used in the cover I designed for the notebooks (for some reason I could not post the cover in its final form):


Please keep the Kaemingks, the Heislers, Dwayne, and us in your prayers as we begin this school with the students next week. We are expecting at least 6 students and maybe as many as 12-14 students (we never know until the day the school begins).
