I watched this bible video and it made me think...why did Christ do this? Why did he bless and perform this miracle? He could have easily had the people go buy food but he chose to do this because it was a miracle to teach. He later taught about the bread of life. He is the one who gives us nourishment and the power to do everything.
Also this talk.
This is a great excerpt from James E Faust about Loaves and Fishes and what that means for us. Pride is what gets in the way and makes it hard for us to serve others and let the Lord make our meager offering become huge and significant. We are the ones who need Him.
Before I watched this...or after I watched the Bible video I wasn't feeling well. I woke up with a headache and didn't go to church with Tanner and Amalie. It was hard and I slept a lot and then went on social media and felt like a waste. I was mad at myself. I watched the video and then started thinking. So I prayed to know what I could do to become motivated and feel okay about how I was feeling. I felt like the Lord was telling me that I was ovulating and that my hormones were just wacky and this is just the cycle that happens. I need to forgive myself and that is the easiest way to just get over my funk I sometimes get in to. How powerful that the Lord speaks to us and answers our simple prayers of help. I can speak to my Father in Heaven and tell Him how I am feeling and He directly speaks to me and helps me feel loved and worthwhile.
Grateful for these experiences.
Going to use this blog to write down feelings and thoughts on studying-great way to link videos and talks so I have them all in one place for future talks/lessons and just documentation on my journey to come closer to Christ.
