Whatever It Takes…

I was reading a friends blog and her subject line was, “Whatever It Takes”.  I wonder how many have actually said to the Lord, whatever it takes, wherever you lead me, I will follow!  My friend writes about how she dared not to say those words to the Lord for fear that, whatever it takes, might mean the loss of a child.  I never would have thought about those words meaning that to the Lord.  I guess I should have and maybe I wouldn’t have spoken them so thoughtlessly in years before.  I don’t claim to have saying that without actually meaning it, but maybe I just never thought about the consequences being so serious.  Am I looking terrible here…should I stop before I drown myself completely in regret?

So, I guess the next thing would be, have I done that and followed through no matter the results?  To that, I have to say, Yes, I’ve completely and totally committed my life and my actions to Christ.  Not long ago I wrote about finding direction in my life and knowing God’s will for my life and for my family.  It wasn’t long before many of the questions I had about my life were revealed to me and believe me, I’m so thankful that they were.  Can you think of what that phrase means to you and maybe share that with me?  I’d love to know who out there has put thought into something like this.
