I love this photo, because it's what childlike faith looks like to me. The wide-eyed wonder. The innocence. So beautiful. . .
This is a song my friend Wendy has up in her kitchen and today she shared with me. Wendy is married to a pastor ( he was her junior high sweetheart & they tied the knot right out of college). She has two blue-eyed blonde kids (a boy and a girl) and is pregnant with their 3rd child. Wendy is one of the most content people I've ever met and I've known her for over 12 years. I've seen her cling to her faith in difficult seasons of life and choose joy when it would have been easy to give up. I hope this song refreshes your heart as it does for hers. :)
Whatever It Takes
1
There’s a voice calling me from an old rugged tree,
And it whispers draw closer to me.
Leave this world far behind, there are new heights to climb
And a new life in Me you will find.
Chorus:
For whatever it takes to draw closer to you, Lord,
That’s what I’ll be willing to do.
And whatever it takes to be more like You,
That’s what I’ll be willing to do.
I’ll trade sunshine for rain, comfort for pain,
That’s what I’ll be willing to do,
For whatever it takes to be more like You,
That’s what I’ll be willing to do.
2
Take the dearest thing to me, if that’s how it must be,
To draw me closer to You.
Let the disappointments come, lonely days without the sun,
If through sorrow more like you I become.
3
Take my houses and lands, all my dreams and my plans
For I’m placing my whole life in your hands,
And if you call me today to a land far away,
Lord, I’ll go and your will obey.
