    <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>Jesus feeds the 5,00, more like 10,000 including women and children, with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread. He had questioned his disciples on how they were going to feed this big crowd before he performed this miracle because he wanted to teach them a lesson: God will not only provide for your immediate needs, He will provide for your future needs as well but they didn't seem to get the message because Jesus sends them away in a boat so he could go be alone with the Father. As they were rowing their boat, a strong wind hinders their progress and they are getting tired and frustrated. Jesus was watching them from the shore and one of their struggle but he didn't immediately come to their rescue! Once he did by walking on water, he got into the boat and the wind ceased immediately. Mark says the disciples' hearts hardened. In other words, they were aggravated with Jesus because they thought he didn't care. Where was he? Why did he let us struggle like this? It's the same questions you and I ask when storms come in our lives. Don't get sidetracked...stay the course and keep the faith. Jesus will show up!

  <description>As Jesus was leaving the Temple with his disciples, they were in awe of the beautiful buildings there and Jesus throws out a comment that blew their minds, "Do you see all of these buildings? They will all be demolished and not mine stone will be left on top of another!" Later they come to him and ask when this is going to take place. Jesus could have said, "In AD70 by the Roman government..." but he didn't. He simply gave them some signs to watch for and when they saw the signs, they should be expecting this to happen. Jesus predicted this way before this when he was speaking to the woman at the well in Samaria, "The time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem."
