So I’m a huge country music fan!!! Like I LOVE my country
music! And I was driving home from swim practice one day listening to WMZQ (best country radio stations) when I hear this song come on called “something more” by sugarland. As I’m driving I’m thinking about all the things that are going in my own life and all the things that I have really been struggling with. I’m at a stoplight and I start to pay attention to the song on the radio and the lyrics are this.
There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more
Five years and there's no doubt
That I'm burnt out, I've had enough
So now boss man, here's my two weeks
I'll make it short and sweet, so listen up
I could work my life away, but why?
I got things to do before I die
And I’m thinking… wow. How is it that people could feel that down that they make a song about this, and honestly… it came from their heart. I mean… what do you think they are missing?! To me it seems like they are just lost in not knowing why they are living life? Like in the last two lines… “I could work my life away, but why? I got things to do before I die.” I mean this is a song about the people around me. I know so many people who are looking for something more to life… but what?! What could possibly fill the void that they feel in their hearts? Well… I have it, I have something that could fill that empty space that they are dieing to fill up! But I don’t notice how bad they need it!! Im to wrapped up in my own problems to notice that people are searching for something more to life… that something more… is Jesus Christ. The one who died to save your life, and the only one who can fill the empty void.

Hey I guess because I love you i will comment you
I posted this note on facebook, but I thought you'd like it since it applies to music.
When I think about God, I hear a song. The song is playing all around us all the time, the song is playing everywhere; it is written on our hearts, and the whole christian body is the instrumentation. But see, the question isn't whether or not you're playing the song, the question is "Are you in tune?"
If everyone's in tune with each other, the sound is wonderful. But if even one person is out of line, they will be noticed without a doubt. It's like if you're playing in tune with God, then you yourself are effectively contributing to the big picture, but if you're stuck thinking too much about the technicalities, you miss the beauty of it all and life just seems to pass you by without getting a chance to cherish it.
It seems like lately, I've been caught up in all the thoughts that run through my mind each day and am missing the true point: what I was made for. I was made to be God's image, and his instrument in the world. I can go through life thinking I can handle all this and try to be perfect, but at the end of the day, the question is this: who do I reflect?
That's truly what matters in life. I've just got to learn to live each moment like it's my last, and not miss the beauty of the music. Cherish family. Cherish friends. Cherish moments.
So when you think about music, think about God. The end :)
