How Jer 20:9 Describes Why I Am Still On Cf

As I considered no longer being involved with CF, Jeremiah 20:9 would be a verse that could describe my reason against this. "Then I said, I will not make mention of him (God), nor speak any more in his name. But his word, was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay." The KJV is not easy for many to understand, so I will try to clarify what this verse means to me. Jeremiah was saying he was no longer going to be a prophet for God (because of the persecution and rejection it brought his way). But his knowledge of the Word and will of God kept going over and over in his mind and spirit, and he was tired of not sharing it, and he could not "stay", meaning he could not keep himself from not sharing it any more. It was just too good, and too important not to share.
Now instead of looking forward to read and interact with other people's blogs as soon as I come on the CF website, or to read the "Alerts" to see what people have been saying regarding those sites or my comments, I will be going to my own blogs, selecting my category "Follow Me, as I Follow Christ, 1Co 11:1" category, and then creating a new blog intended for those that are considering becoming a Christian, or have recently become a Christian, or are already a Christian but are currently "seeking" to grow more in their faith by reading my blogs, and endeavor to give them something to help in this.
