Defining Moment

Physical/Emotional
It's starting to warm up around here so I'm starting to get desires to do stuff outside. I'm just wanting the weather to make up its mind. We've had some very bizarre weather recently and I've not been very well with coping because I've been getting ill a lot. So I guess the moral of the story is I cant wait till it gets nicer out, because I'll feel better and our campus will come alive.

Academic
The days are winding down, things are starting to come to a close, and I am going crazy! Even though there are only a short few weeks left here, there are so many projects that require my attention. Generally I'd like to be able to start reviewing for finals but there just doesn't seem to be time yet. I tell the last few weeks are always so bitter sweet, because it means that a break is coming but we can be sure that there's a ton of work to get past before break starts. I guess that college for ya.

Social
Well Spring Break '09 was a success! I had so much fun in the sun and just an overall good time with my family and a few new found friends. If you haven't noticed from my blogs I really enjoy singing. In California there is a HUGE karaoke scene and unlike here in Illinois people are pretty serious when you attend one of these social events. Many are looking to be "discovered" in Cali and so going to karaoke is always something that I enjoy taking part in. So I made my rounds maybe around four times while I was there over break. On my third visit to a local karaoke spot I struck gold, ok more like $50 that I was given by the karaoke host. So California was good for me to just relax and also served as a bit of a confidence builder. :-D Now since being back I've been planning like crazy for the spring concert for Proclamation Gospel Choir. The concert is this Saturday, and just like everything else there are many loose ends. I'm just really excited about the end result. I really feel that God will reign in the place and that lives will be changed because of our worship. I hope to be able to bring some picture's back for you to see and look forward to telling you more about it.

Spiritual
How can I make God real to the world? That is a question I look to ask myself everyday. I want to be one who is not simply bearing the title of Christian but I want to bear fruit accordingly. My heart has been burdened more than any time before for the lost, those who have yet to be given the opportunity to follow Christ. I feel so passionately that those who profess to be believers need to be living life in the way that God through His Word has instructed of us. What does it benefit the church to live our lives day to day in the same way that the world does? People are looking for an example to follow but it seems to me that that world are following believers that lifestyles look the same as unbelievers. I for one see a problem with that. So if you will, pray with me that God will raise up leaders who are committed to living and leading Godly lifestyles in the church and outside of the church.
