    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>The enemy has many tools in his arsenal to keep us from serving God and three of the greatest are: Fear, discouragement, and rejection. Nobody likes to be rejected but what we learn in Mark 6 is even Jesus was rejected! He was rejected by the religious leaders, he was rejected by his own disciples at times, and he was rejected by his friends and family in his hometown. Two things we need to be aware of: 1) Be careful who you let speak into your life because not everybody shares your vision...2) Don't let other people shape your identity because in Nazareth, Jesus wan't known as God's Son, he was known as Mary's son who is just a carpenter!

  <description>The book of Hebrews is written to a Jewish audience who has chosen Jesus and have been following him, but persecution is and has taken its toll on some of the believers. They have been in jail, beaten, and have lost all their stuff because they chose to follow Jesus but some of them are struggling with their faith and are giving up. This book is written to encourage them to stay the course and hold on because it will all be worth it in the end! And he really hammers this point home here in chapter 3 to not lose their confidence in Jesus and that he is coming soon and will not delay to rescue them. What a word for our day in time…people are discouraged on a daily basis and life is beating the crap out of us but we have to endure to the end for some day, it will all be worth it!
Here is a link to my song sang by Frannie Hamrick called "Finding Strength":
