Old Bagels and New Passion

I am eating a bagel right now that supposedly expired on February 18th. But there was no mold on it and it tastes ok, so hopefully I won't get sick!

I've been wanting to write in this for a few days now, but I haven't been able to just sit down and do it yet. I've felt so... dry, recently. Do you ever feel like your passion is completely gone? Like you're just this random blob of organic material that roams this earth? I've really been praying recently that God would relight that fire inside of me. Think "Consuming Fire" lyrics. I want that passion back. I also need a little joy up in here. There are intervals of joy, but I need it all the time! So yeah, that's what I've been thinking about lately.

I'm going to Juarez in one week and I am no where near close to being ready. Please pray for me! I need to go shopping and get a bunch of stuff from Goodwill! Also pray for me as I'm on the trip. Carolyn's going too. Pray for my back - it's been iffy lately and I can't have it hurting on me while I'm in Mexico! Oh, and Carolyn needs her passport. I think it's in Dallas...

Well I need to go shower and get ready for my day. Hardcore studying happens today!!!
