To whom it may concern:
Recently I have been introduced to the Civil Wars and their song, To whom it may concern. I think it kind of sums up my thoughts on love, and what I hope for.
God has been teaching me a delicate balance in my life lately. I struggle because once again I want to choose one extreme or another when it comes to love. Let me lay this out in options:
1. I can live waiting and hoping, making marriage and love my goal and being unhappy in every situation till then.
2. I can pretend that I don't want any of that. I can be bitter and I can hate men.
3. I can keep my heart soft and still remain hopeful for love, yet not make it my only hope.
Once again, although I sometimes would rather choose option 1 or 2, these are unlivable. I don't believe this is how God would have me live. So I have been working on this, steering clear from the bitterness and choosing to keep my heart open, hard as it may be. In the meantime, I have been allowing God to speak to my heart, knowing that God has chosen this time for a reason and that he is continuing to shape me into who he wants me to be.
Anyways without further ado, the lyrics to "To whom it may concern"
Why are you so far from me?
In my arms is where you ought to be
How long will you make me wait?
I don't know how much more I can take
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh how I want to
How I do
Slowly counting down the days
Till I finally know your name
Ooo the way your hand feels round my waist
The way you laugh
The way your kisses taste
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh how I want to
How I do, How I do
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh how I missed you
I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
Oh how I want to
Dear whoever you might be
I'm still waiting patiently.
In honor of this I would like to write a short letter,
To whom it may concern,
I don't know who you are. I don't know who you will be.
I trust that God knows. I pray for you everyday. I pray that I may be the person that you need in your life. That we can challenge each other and encourage each other. That I may see a bit more of God through you and you through me. I pray that you are becoming a leader. That you will lead our family someday. I pray that my love for you would grow everyday. I am praying for wisdom and guidance to better protect my heart for you.
Sincerely
Jennifer
