One Life to Love/The Motions

I just wanted to share some lyrics to a song that is really keeping my head held high through these next few weeks :)


He never thought he cared so much about the minute hand
Until he started praying for a second chance
If he could only do it all again
He’d trade the long nights that he spent behind his desk
For all he missed
He tells his wife I wish that this moment in this room
Was not me dying but just spending a little time with you

You only get just one time around, you only get one shot at this
One chance to find out the one thing that you don’t wanna miss
One day when it’s all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough
This one ride, one try, one life to love

She never thought she cared so much about those little hands
That held on tight the day she left till she was scared to death
Sitting all alone on a hotel bed, the end of the road
The sun has set on her big plans to feel young again
She picks up the phone, dials a number, hears that little voice
That’s haunted every single mile since she made that choice

You only get just one time around, you only get one shot at this
One chance to find out the one thing that you don’t wanna miss
One day when it’s all said and done
I hope you see that it was enough
This one ride, one try, one life to love

ALSO, the song The Motions by Matthew west has challenged me to live everyday without going through the motions of Christianity.


This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)
take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
take me all the way (through the motions)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions

Daddy, I want to come home....

I am so lost and confused.

I really don't want to leave. I mean part of me really does, but at the same time, I see people here that I have invested so much in. People that, even through the tough times, I would do anything for. I love them.

I think that sometimes the will of God has to be accepted whether or not it's what you want. Right now I feel as if I was given a dose of disgusting cough medicine, and I am swallowing it reluctantly.


Just last week I was posting about how excited I was about graduation being so soon, and now I think I am postponing that another year by transerring.... :(

I honestly just can't get over how much I am going to miss....him....and others...but I am really going to miss him.....

ugh...is life over yet?



On a brighter note.... the sun is shining....that makes me smile...a little bit.

Oh and I am going to visit a friend tonight which will be a relief from this dreadful campus....ugh.

I kinda just want to go home, not West Virginia, but Home...with my Jesus. I think that just would be amazing... :) I can only imagine.......

I wonder how long it takes God to put a broken person back together?
