I read the following verse this morning. It is one of the verses we were asked to look up in the bible study I am currently doing.

But if I say, “I will not mention him or speak any more in his name,”
his word is in my heart like a fire,
a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;
indeed, I cannot.
(Jeremiah 20:9)

This verse made me smile. So often when I sit down to write a post on my blog for the day, I have every intention of posting something lighthearted or fluffy. And then, I find myself writing something completely different. It just comes out. I have a difficult time holding it in. I find myself thinking, “But, God, haven’t I written about this enough?”

For some reason, I need to say it again, and again, and again.

I guess I am making up for not writing for 15 years. That’s a lot of years of holding it all in.

“I am weary of holding it in
indeed, I cannot.”
