"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." Romans 7:15
I think these words of Paul pretty much sums up what I'm feeling right now. I also now understand why it goes on to say he feel "wretched" (well in the NIV version anyway). I want to do God's will. I want to live for Him. But I keep doing stupid things and making stupid decisions. I know what I should be doing, so why? Why can't I get myself to do it. I really hate being the way I am.
God I just wish I could move on to feeling "more than conquereous" like in Romans 8. I want to move on... I really do...
I guess I should be glad that I feel all this guilt over the stupid things I do. It's a sign of someone who's a "slave to righteousness". Being a slave, I guess I can't help but want to do what it right.
God I really need your strength. As I make the choices that lead to holiness, I pray that the power of your salvation will help me to stick to what is right. I keep falling down, over and over again. But I pray you'll help me to stand up again and keep running for You. In the name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Passion KL 2008
I went for the Passion Tour on Sunday (3rd August) and all I can say is... WOW!!! And I LOVE JESUS SO MUCH!!! Thank you God for loving us so much!!! I want to love You the same way!!!
I haven't attended many rallies since I entered college. You know how it is, rallies always felt more like a high school kind of thing with inter school cf rallies and so on. But when Passion was in town, my Senior Youth Leader said it's something you just can't miss. I'm always a little skeptical about rallies because they feel too hyped up, kind of like a rock concert (which I hated to see happen). But I felt obligated to go, so with some doubts at the back of my head I went anyways. All that doubt was BLASTED out the back of my head after the night was done.
To be honest I've been In a slump in walk. Just a little while back I felt like I was just starting to pick myself up again. I did my best to love God with everything within me, pray more, read His word daily, listen for His will for me and I even joined in the nationwide prayer and fasting movement. It's always not easy to start climbing out of a slump but then Passion came along and supercharged my fire for Jesus. Their worship and word was so full of anointing from God (Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall and Louie Giglio we're leading the worship and word by the way :D). There was such and overwhelming presence from God that I was left sobbing my eyes out after the sermon and worship.
Thank you so much Passion for the wonderful difference you all made in my life. I'm going to do my best to live a life that makes Jesus famous!
