What is Your Habit?

I was texting Sarah yesterday (big surprise there huh? lol!!!), and I mentioned something about her making a habit (and of course she denied it). But that got me to thinking about habits. Then I read Jana's blog, and then Bekki's from yesterday. That made me actually start smelling smoke :P. I even pulled out the trusty dictionary and the first definition I saw was "an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary". I looked down the list and saw this one "mental character or disposition." These both made me start thinking, what do I do involuntarily?? I go to church, but I do that because I honestly LOVE going to church! So that is a good habit to keep. I started looking at the things I do daily, eating, reading, running late to work.... especially running late to work. I realize that may be my biggest habit that needs to be broken. My mom would ask, are you going to eat??? My response? "Can't I'm running late." That started making me wonder if that would be how I answer God? "Are you going to talk to me today??" "Sorry God, can't I am running late." "Well how about looking at my love notes to you???" "Sorry God, can't I am running late." Sadly this is how my life has been lately. I can't say that God and I have actually had this conversation per se, but this has been my life as of late. A song keeps coming to my mind, I have been singing it for awhile now,

"There He was just waiting
In our old familiar place
An empty spot beside Him
Where once I used to wait

To be filled with strength and wisdom
For the battle of the day
I would've passed Him by again
But I clearly heard Him say

I miss My time with you
Those moments together
I need to be with you each day
And it hurts me when you say
You're too busy, busy trying to serve Me
But how can you serve Me
When your spirit's empty
There's a longing in My heart
Wanting more than just a part of you
It's true
I miss My time with you

What will I have to offer
How can I truly care
My efforts have no meaning
When your presence isn't there
But You'll provide the power
If I take time to pray
So Ill stay right here beside You
And you'll never have to say

I miss My time with you
Those moments together
I need to be with you each day
And it hurts me when you say
You're too busy, busy trying to serve Me
But how can you serve Me
When your spirit's empty
There's a longing in My heart
Wanting more than just a part of you
It's true
I miss My time with you"

To think that God would be waiting for ME to talk to Him... He wants us to WANT to talk to Him. It is so true, He is a gentleman, He will not force you. He wants His people to praise Him and love Him of their own free will. And He wants them to start realizing... that they miss THEIR time with Him.... And I do... I miss my time with Him
