Howdy! It's been a bit. Thanks for coming back!
What have I been up to you ask? Well, I had a dream to seek God in videography this summer with making 10 videos for my YouTube channel. July is half over and I've gotten 2 done with 2 or 3 in dream stages. We'll see if I make that goal. One of those upcoming videos is a song I wrote. My voice has been on vacation for a bit, so I haven't been able to record it yet, but the words and mandolin chords are finalized and I'm excited for the day it's ready!
DO YOUR BEST
by J. Walter
The ACT test was today
No chance, she couldn't outdo
Her bros so neat
Were had to beat
Both at a 32
They prayed inside the livingroom
Then loading in the van
She read the note
Her bro had wrote
And it said, "Dearest Jan..."
"Do your best and leave the results up to God
That's the advice I'll give 'cause that's what I got
Go in it peacefully 'cause God's got your back
I'll see you when you get home."
-your big brother Jack
Her first job interview today
She didn't know how it'd go
Behind the mask
She prayed and asked for God to make it so
Beyond her zone of comfort, sure
She braved this brand new start
Then God so kind
Brought to her mind
Her brother's note and heart
"Do your best and leave the results up to God
That's the advice I'll give 'cause that's what I got
Go in it peacefully 'cause God's got your back
I'll see you when you get home."
-your big brother Jack
Outside of Dairy Queen one night
Sitting in his escape
They talked of joys,
Hearing God's voice,
A spouse to wed one day.
She listened to her brother speak
Her face with love aglow
He said he'd wait
Hear and obey
She said, "I'm proud you know
To do your best and leave the results up to God
That's the advice you gave so that's what I got
Go in it peacefully 'cause God's got a plan
Maybe see you on your wedding day.
-your baby sister Jan
Maybe see you on your wedding day.
Love, baby sister Jan
