She Has My Attention

Copeland - You Have My Attention


Quiet now.
Your voice sings miles away
but somehow I hear your song resound
A little bit softer each day
And from my tired heart, a little bit farther away.

I’ll sing along
The whole day through.
Just do your best to hear me.
It’s all you can do.

You have my attention
Like you’ve had all the while,
Since that first day when you made my heart smile,
With loving eyes and tired sighs that follow.
You have my attention
Like a shout through an empty sanctuary.
Speak but a whisper;
I’ll hear a sermon

I’ll sing along
the whole day through.
Just do your best to hear me.
It’s all you can do.

I’ll sing along
the whole night through.
While you sleep safely,
I’ll be thinking about you.

You have my attention.

Coffee

This song explains my emotions lately. Being patient and waiting for plans. "I'll wait for it to come."

"Well it's got to be strong to touch my heart through it's shell."

This verse speaks way more than what it shows. Relationships have been a huge struggle for me, but something is strange. Something is different, something is right. Something is so frightening yet welcoming at the same time. I really don't know how to explain it.

You're going to have to listen to the song for this one.

Feelings

I asked my roommate not too long ago if it was possible to get rid of feelings. He didn't answer yes, and he didn't answer no. He just said, "Feelings are natural, so why try?" I struggled with it for a bit, but then was content with the fact that our feelings for something, especially someone, are natural. Certain characteristics, or aspects about a person or something just strike our interest. We don't choose it, and we don't not choose it, it's just well, natural. If feelings can naturally start, does that mean they can naturally end? It's been on my mind for a little bit. I suppose I have some natural feelings that have started, and I don't want them to end. But if feelings are natural, why try? Even if the result isn't what is wanted? I'm not too sure on the matter.

Pray for understanding.

Distancing yourself from without distancing yourself.

Does that make any sense to you? It sure as heck doesn't make any sense to me...but I wish it did. I haven't really understood what it means to distance yourself without distancing yourself. Will any of you who read this pray for me? I want to know how to do this...and until I do I'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place.

Prayer for Patience, and prayer for Understanding.

So much for keeping up.

I don't know why I keep slacking so much with this, but I really am going to work on making time. I promise!

One thing that I have really been learning a ton about is patience. Patience is something that we all wish we could have more of, because it is something our human nature lacks completely. However, God has really put patience on my heart in my life in many aspects right now. Through relationships, school, and work, I have found myself having to be patient. Why is being patient so hard? Well because we have a want inside of us for whatever it is we need to be patient for. The more you want but cannot have, the less patience you have. The truth is though, is being patient can only become beneficial. Waiting and seeing what God has in store for me will be completely beneficial because His plan is the best plan. Even if what I am hoping for isn't what is a part of His plan, I know that something else better for me will be, because that is how God works. In mysterious ways.

The past 2 months has just been so interesting, and an awesome experience. I am blessed for new friendships, and just new opportunities in general.

There is a chance that the past 2 months have been a preview of the next few months...then again it may not, but that is when it is important for me to cling to God and know that His plan is full of excitement. I just have to remember to be patient.

That can be a prayer request of mine, for any of you who read this. I pray for more patience, and even more trust that God has got this all figured out. I'm excited for His plan, and cannot wait where He takes this, through thick and thin.

One last thing! This is our Calling is now up and launching! We're slowly getting into editing and what not, so give us just a little slack before the updating begins. You can check out our page at www.thisisourcalling.com

Be blessed.
