Another aspect of making that graduation video is what music to put the pictures to. I have found that music/lyrics can make or break the enjoyment of a homemade video.
I hope I am not the only one who thinks I know a song, but upon more careful study of the lyrics, I realize those are not the words that I sing exactly.
In some sense, they are close, but different words change meanings, and I often like “my version of the lyrics a bit more.
I wonder how often that happens to us, not only when looking at song lyrics but when we listen to one another. Do we hear the words the other person says, or do we hear words that fit the song or the message we believe in?
I am working hard on my listening skills. Even when I am aware and can name my downfalls, if I am not intentional, it is easy for me to change the “lyrics” of whatever is being said!
I find it a consistent space where I am invited to repent and go again when I choose to believe I know the lyrics of what you are saying, and I begin to sing along, never really listening to what your story is bringing to me.
Lord, give me ears to hear!
Let it be so!
Blessed be His name.
