More To Life

Going off the Switchfoot song "Meant to Live" I continue with a similar thought about what life is all about. Immediately I think of the handful of movies where someone asks, "What is the meaning of life?" I know if I walked down the street near Georgia State, or even in a classroom at GSU and asked ten people that question, I'd get ten or eleven different answers. I would hope that if I asked ten people at my school that I would get one big answer.

Our meaning of life is so easy to define when we take on the name of Jesus. I said it was easy to define, but it is very difficult to practice. So many people are going after happiness in money and power. We know that real life comes from following Jesus. Stacie you're correct, there is so much more to life:

I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let it go

There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
Than wanting more

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half way out the door
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing

I'm wanting more
I'm always waiting on something other than this
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed.....
