renovation of the heart

It's my challenge every time the alarm clock goes off and it's time to live the day: Live differently or let this day of living with righteous uncomformity just slide for today?

And I have to remember I don't have off days.
There are no days where God understands and realizes I deserve to relax in faith for a day because I am tired.. b/c really and truly I don't deserve to live with faith. I don't deserve it, but yet I somehow get to be a part of it.

...we'll see how true I am to these words when the alarm goes off tomorrow.
