Dear you...

They're not "mistakes" anymore, they're choices. You know better, but you still decide that you're going to go back down that same path. 
You know what you should and could do, but you don't. 
You shout, cry, praise, and are in a good place temporarily, but it never lasts longer than a few hours, days, or months. 
When will you TRULY decide that enough is enough? When will you finally stop allowing the temporary tough times to drive you to make impulsive decisions? When will you stop allowing the desire for a mate or these temporary worldly things to outweigh your desire for me? 
When will you TRULY place your life in my hands? Not hold on to bits and pieces, but FULLY surrender it to me? 
I know you're called to greater heights. You know you're called to greater heights. So why do you keep going around the same mountain and backtracking to the last course that I pulled you through?
When will you get tired of being stagnant and "learning the same lesson?" When will you be ready for new lessons and new triumphs? 
Time stops for no man, so why keep WASTING it? Why keep wasting resources? Why keep using and abusing opportunities?
When will your YES to me really mean that? When will you NO to them and THAT really mean it? I hear you what you're saying, but your actions are so far off. "Actions speak louder than words."
When are you going to stop allowing men, women, things, and yourself to hinder you from moving forward into more?
It's as if you forget how you got through that one seemingly impossible situation. Or how you've been provided for even when you had no clue how it was going to happen. 
Why do you allow worry to consume you? Why do you allow fear to stop you from moving forward? Why do you keep ignoring "that tug" about that situation? 
Why do you run to others instead of getting into your quiet place and venting to the One who knows you better than any person on this Earth? Why won't you spend more time getting to know your creator's character instead of being distracted by the pointless things of this world? 

There has to come a point when you stop negotiating with yourself about these bad habits, these distractions, these hinderances, these decisions. Throw them away. Block them. Eliminate them from your life. Truly surrunder them and TURN AWAY FROM THEM. Stop going back!

Do it today. Not tomorrow. NOW!!! 

I can't believe you've truly had enough until your actions line up with your words.....Keep moving forward even if you get tripped up on the way, but please don't stop or move backwards. 

YOU MUST PRESS ON! Often times you are closer than you think.
