“I know this much about Chris Shepherd: he never got over walking away, living with never knowing what might’ve been.”
She pressed her fingertips firmly over his lips. “Don’t do this! It will separate us, and such regret on his part would always have held him back. If that’s true, he needed that bonk on the head. God deserves our utmost, not grudging discipleship. There’s no question about what might’ve been. It doesn’t exist. Even if we pretend Chad had chosen someone else, and I was free, and that Chris refused a clear calling and put me in God’s place, do you honestly think I’d have been enough to satisfy that calling in your soul? And do you imagine I’d have considered marrying a man who couldn’t be my spiritual leader because he was running from the Lord? Jonah was sent by God to soak in saltwater in a big fish until he regained his senses. I don’t know what God would’ve done with Chris about his rebellion, but it couldn’t be fulfillment or happiness! And I’d never have agreed to be a part of it.”
