it is unbelievably easy to slip into the state of worldliness. i've been there since, oh, i don't know, last year? it's just so hard to stay focused, and to be frank, i've been pretty upset with God as of late. he has placed "fires" in my life. you know, little twigs or problems add up to make a pile and all it takes is one little spark. at first, the fire reaches my flesh and it burns, hurts, pains, so ferociously that i cannot stand. so i fall to my knees. that's when i learn how to take the fire and pull it so it burns from within and i become unforgivingly angry. but soon, the fire goes out, and i am left burnt to a crisp, and numb. apathetic. and worldly.
but to quote matthew west, "i don't want to go through the motions"
what am i going to do? i ask myself this only every second of every minute of every day. and i think i have an answer....i'm going to rid of all my dead leaves, twigs...the dry brush just waiting for that spark. i understand that part of "the motions" by matthew west, where it says "take it all away". at first i was so confused because we always ask God for more and more and more....and i then i realized that that was the problem. we need to give away our worldly things...such a tiny sacrifice compared to the one He made for us.

Hello Ms. Callie,
You made your site simple yet colorful. I see that you have a wide variety of interests and observations here!
I like to write articles about Jehovah God on my site to help people to really get to know Him, especially in these troubled times. "The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of Jehovah; and what manner of wisdom is in them?” (Jeremiah 8:9) (ASV)
