What would it look like if I were to really, truly, and compmletely give my life to God?

I really don't know.

I have a penpal who is about my age, who is in prison in another state. When we first started writing, she told me that she was afraid to give her life to God because she didn't want to "get sent to Africa". I laughed at first, but then I really thought about it, and I have the same fears.

If I give my heart, and my mind and my actions to God, what things, what people am I going to have to cut out of my life? What thoughts am I going to have to block out of my mind, what people will I have to encounter? What might I have to give up?

Because living for God is more than going to church on Sundays and reading the Bible. Although these things are wonderful, to really follow God means to rely on him to guide your every step. It means trusting his guidance, even if it means reaching way out of your comfort zone... even if you have to go to Africa...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not by any stretch of the imagination claiming that I live 100% for God. To be honest, I often struggle with the lack of God in my own life. It takes real, child like faith to just jump and let the Father Catch us...

Here is one of my favorite songs, about just that... its by a singer named Francesca Batistelli.. .she's awesome so I really encourage you to check out her other music as well!
