Physical hunger can wait, I need Jesus

During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance."

His disciples answered, "But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?"

-Mark 8:1-4


It's wise to make plans for certain journeys. If you are driving out to Provo to visit some friends (hint hint), be sure you have enough cash to pay for gas to get out here and for the return trip home. However, when following Jesus, you only need a one-way ticket, cause there is no return.

This group of people got up and went to Jesus and they were so far from home that they would not be able to make it back safely. Lets follow him like that. I want to be at a point in my relationship with him that I forget about the concerns of this world. I want to be overwhelmed with amazement at Jesus (Mark 7:37).

I have another neice on the way! Please pray for her! Pray that she will be born healthy and that someday God will save her. I am very thankful she will be born into a family that loves her very much already, but I want her to know that her Father loved her before anybody else even knew about her. Her name is Natalie Jane Maley.

Yesterday, Laura Coleman and I got to lead a woman to Christ on the UVU campus. It was pretty sweet. Please pray for her, Melanie, that it would be a true conversion and that satan would have no victory over her, but that God would stomp out any attempts he makes to bring her down.
