Bragging On A Friend's Talent

The hubby and I are good friends with a family. The family is composed of two awesome parents (the dad even officiated our wedding) and two amazing young ladies. This family rocks. They love the Lord, love their friends, and are very active in so many things. Often, it's hard to make our schedules meet and visit with them as often as we like... but hopefully that know that we love them, and cherish their friendship.

One of those amazing young ladies in this family is named Natalie. Today my post is bragging on Natalie and showing off SOME of her stuff. She's super talented, and I have loved listening to her music. I hope to be able to post some more of her stuff soon.

But for now, please take a moment to listen to the attached video of Natalie's song "Distractions". Lyrics are posted below also. Enjoy.

Distractions
(words & music by Natalie West)

I'm still awake at 12 a.m.
my mind's gone wondering again
off to the many thoughts that some
how have a hold on me

Cause I strive to be a people please
instead of trying to be God pleaser
and more than ever do I see
my selfishness and vanity

It's on this restless night I've finally realized

That I need a distraction
from all my distractions
because I just can 't seem to keep
my focused on you
I need a distraction
from all my distractions
and the only distraction I need is you

VERSE 2:

I try so hard to concentrate
when yet I deviate
and my priorities become about
what I want and what I need

Late nights and early mornings
I have seemed to miss the warnings of
the dangers of losting sight of
who YOU are and where I stand

CHORUS:

It's on this restless night I've finally realized

That I need a distraction
from all my distractions
because I just can 't seem to keep
my focused on you
I need a distraction
from all my distractions
and the only distraction I need is you

BRIDGE:

When I had every intention of
keeping my full attention on
what I claim to be my life's ambition
But I get distracted
from all my distractions.

CHORUS
