Passion
I went to the Passion Concert at GM Place in Vancouver tonight. It was really good. Christ Tomlin and his band played. Louie Giglio talked, and David Crowder Band Sang. I was a little disappointed though, because DCB only sang 4 songs, as opposed to the number of songs in Chris Tomlin's set. Oh well. It was their first time in Vancouver, so that was an honour. I'd rather be there for their first time in Tokyo though....
oh well. So for those of you in Tokyo and the rest of their stops, expect an amazing performance, great inspiration and an exciting night of worship, but don't expect a lot of David Crowder Songs. What you get from them though will be good. What can I say, they're David Crowder Band.
Now coming out of this, I really want to have the mind of God. I don't like living this life with so much to do and be to so many different people, and not feeling like I'm really in touch with God in the midst of it. I want to think what he thinks, see what he sees. I want to have his heart, and have the same passion for the people around me that he does. I want to feel what he feels.
I want to get excited about what he's done for me, and really feel that excitement. I want to get excited about what he's done for you, for us, and inspire others to get excited too. I don't care if it expresses itself as being a more charismatic person, writing good songs, becoming a preacher or writing good papers or books. I want a tangible attitude change involving excitement and passion for God.
I don't just want an excitement as in hype though. I don't know what the word is. As fame is to renown, excitement is to X. I want X. An everlasting longing and nagging passion in me which surfaces in my concious thoughts, perceptions, and the words and actions that come out of me.
So yeah that's what's on my heart. Please pray that God would grant me these things. Thanks.

Frustrated
I've gotten to a point where I'm starting to not care. It happens every semester. I start out attending every class, handing in every assignment. But then something happens. I either make myself work too hard, or too much is asked of me.
This semester it was my presentation. It works like a domino affect. Because I had to prepare for my presentation, I couldn't do the homework I usually do. Since the homework wasn't done by the time it usually gets done, I had to stay up very late to make sure it got finished (5am). Because I stayed up so late, I had to sleep in and miss some classes, which if I had attended I would have heard some important information. And since my biological clock is confused, I have a hard time being consistently motivated (as if I didn't have a hard time as it was).
In short, I'm quite frustrated with myself and my situation. I'm at a point where substantial damage hasn't been done yet, but if things go wrong at the end of the semester, I'll know it all started here.
