What exactly does "Follow" mean?

I will follow Jesus anywhere
I will follow Jesus anywhere
by his grace I know I'll make it there
I will follow Jesus anywhere.
-Dylan Sneed

This song has meant a lot to me over the past year or so. When I first heard it I got really excited and would sing along with it as a praise song. I would sing it to Jesus as an excited declaration of my infatuation with him. "Wherever Jesus asks me to go--I will follow. I will be on his heals excited to do his work."

A couple months later, however, I hit a low point. I was not happy with him and how he had screwed up my perfectly planned life. I continued to sing this song to him, but it was no longer an excited expression of infatuation...it had become a declaration of painful commitment. "I will faithfully follow where he asks me to go, but I'm not all that excited about it."

About a week ago the song took on another meaning to me. Maybe it isn't so much about where God leads me, and if I follow...maybe it is about following wherever I am. Instead of the song saying "I will follow wherever Jesus asks me to go" maybe the song is saying "Anywhere I am--There I will obey (or follow) how he has asked me to live." I will follow Jesus anywhere.

I believe that God is not as concerned with where we live or what we do professionally as much as he is concerned with how we live and what the condition of our heart is.

This is not a new thought, I am aware of that. I think most people believe that what I said in the previous paragraph is true, but my question is why do we not live like this? Why do we rack our brains about having the 'job God created us for,' or living where 'God wants us to live,' or even worse...marrying who 'God wants us to marry.'

If we honestly believe that it is not about what we do but how we do it then we would stop asking these silly questions and start asking questions like "How do I honor God in the job I have now?" "How do I draw nearer to God through my school work?" "How do I use the recourses of my home to bring glory to Him?" "What can I do in my community to be more like Christ to those I am around?" and "How can I build Christ centered relationships with those I'm closest to?"

I'm tired of this guessing-game-God. Where we have to ask "Is this your will?" all the time. The fact of the matter is his 'will' is for us to live like Christ...why do we have to complicate things?
