Bad Habits
by Michael Tolcher
I get all my bad habits, watching you, it's true
I wish that things were so different,
change it myself, it's what I'll do
I can't figure it out yet
Just how to make it perfect for you
But I'm closer than I was yesterday
Yeah, I'm closer than I was yesterday.
They say that life is for learning
Teach me to live while I'm here
Messages twisted and turning
What should I give, make it clear
I can't figure it out yetJust how to make it perfect for youBut I'm closer than I was yesterdayYeah, I'm closer than I was yesterday.
Don't you notice the difference, I'm not the same
I'm only here to be with you
Now I'm closing the distance
Dropping the blame, trading the past for something new.
Why would you work without living
Spending your soul, what's it worth?
I hope you make it to heaven...
Waiting for life here on earth
Cus' I can't figure it out yet
Just how to make it perfect for you
But I'm closer than I was yesterday,
Yeah, I'm closer than I was yesterday.
This song is completely speaking into my life right now ~ especially with everything that I've been going through. It's so dumb really, but I have been more exhausted than usual because of the battle of my flesh against my spirit within me. Sometimes I don't even really know what I'm thinking or what I believe, but yet, I am regaining my focus upon God.
Everyone has noticed my bad habits lately, and that's okay...because I'd much rather live my life as an open book so that people can speak into my life when they know I need it... I wish that I could change myself and have everything different to where I can reach perfection, but I'm not there. All I can hope for is to be closer tomorrow than I am today. Life is hard, living life for God is hard, but it is all about learning from and teaching others with wisdom. I wish that I could make my life perfect before and for God, but it's only Him that can help me as I get there. By repenting, I am able to close the distance that I have put between Him and myself, and I can get cleansed and refreshed with the blessings of God.
So, here I am, as I am living my life day to day, trying to figure all of this out.... trying to be closer to God than I was before...

Most of what you are struggling with lately has been "normal" types of stuff.
Hang in there. Keep seeking him and focusing on chasing the dreams He has put in your heart.

Oz,
I know, I know... Sometimes I think I go to the extreme because I haven't actually done anything, and I have stopped myself before I got too close... but then I wonder if I am just taking sin too lightly with that way of thinking...But, regardless, it's amazing how much it gets into my head and I can't get it out...Hopefully it will pass soon as I am seeking the Lord. Thank you for all of the encouragement that you constantly give to me.
