Life Management Study: A New Job, A New Life

Thanks and farewell--that's what one LMS participant recently told the supervisor who encouraged him to take the LMS course. The course helped him put first things first, improve his health and unexpectedly opened the doors for a new job.

"Through LMS I have learned, or in some cases re-learned, many basic principles. I learned I needed to use the time God has given me as wisely as possible. I relearned that everything I have is from God, including the body that God has given me. I learned that I needed to seek the will of God in my life and spend time with Him to find out exactly what this is. This is only the beginning. It is exciting to anticipate what God has planned for the rest of my time," says the LMS graduate.

Sign up for an LMS class now for this fall, and spend 13 exciting weeks learning about the plans God has for YOU--plans to give you a hope and a future as promised in Jeremiah 29:11. Course cost is $85. To register, call the CSM office at (703) 591-5000.
