Hello My loves!
I've been learning a lot about life, love, and God! There's a song by an artist Brooke Fraser called "Love Where is Your Fire" and every word is exactly what God has shown me about these three things. I'm not sure whether Brooke meant the song to be about life or God because it talks about Love but I can definately relate it to all three. I refuse to be Leukwarm. I'm either hot or cold! I want what God wants for me! I want that fire! I want that abundant life that He came to give us!!! I want to experience that love that two people are meant to have when they do things right and wait and are wise! I dont want the love that I see everywhere around me!!! It has to be possible to obtain that kind of love!!! I've seen very few couples that share it! And though its a hard and narrow road, its worth it in the end! I want that life that God promised me! I'm willing to do whatever it is to obtain it! I will not give up on this long and hard narrow road! Though others tell me to give in! I can't!! I wasn't made for that! There's got to be more to life than the life that I see around me that's full of hurt and pain, unfaithfullness, jealousy, abuse, betrayal. Why do we choose this life? Is the wide road really worth it???? Yea it looks easy and good and tempting! But in the end is it fulfilling? Is it worth it? Does it bring true satisfaction? It seems to me that the life lived on the wide road in the end leaves you empty and filled with more questions, failures, guilt, and pain.
And that is why no matter how hard or confusing and lonely it is to walk down the narrow road is, I choose life! I see that life that is ahead of me! I see now the amazing things that lie before me! I see that God really wants the best for us! If we choose to walk down this road and let God really deal with us and ask questions but never lose sight of the end of the road, we will enter into that promised land. We have this hope in Christ who just like us walked down this hard and narrow road! If He did, we too can do it! So I fix my eyes on Him! I walk down the road no matter what the cost! All for the sake of Christ. All for entering into that promised land! I trust in His love!
Leukwarm will never do!

Ps. Read Hebrews 4
Love, Where Is Your Fire?"
Love, where is your fire? I've been sitting here smoking away
making signals with sticks and odd ends and bits, but there's no sign of a flame
Imposters have been passing, offering good-feeling glow
but I'm holding out for what you are about - an inferno that burns to the bone
some urge me to be temperate, lukewarm will never do
[CHORUS]
'Cause I, I wanna blaze with you
So i'm holding my heart out to you
Holding my heart out
So I stand, handing out torches
speaking words that are lamps to their feet
Til the tine when you come an I'm whole and we are one and the fire in me is complete
Some tell me to be moderate but lukewarm will never do
Then a doubt comes to lie at the back of my mind
That I'll offer you me and you'll politely decline
So i hasten to mute it, I'll shout and rebuke it - "away!"
-Brook Fraser
