"When you get what you want, but not what you need."

Forever Changed - "Knowledge"

Everybody’s talking, how the world’s changing.
Everybody’s wondering, “How far will we run?”
Can you see the train wreck?
People scattered on the ground searching for answer they’ve never found.
And all I have is answers
To yesterday’s questions.

You should’ve known...
You should’ve known...
You should’ve known
There’s more to life than “Live for Today.”

I can hear them whispering how they all feel lonely.
If they only knew where true love is found.
I can see them dying, falling on the floor.
Everybody’s waiting to run out the door.

You should’ve known...
You should’ve known...
You should’ve known
There’s more to life than “Live for Today.”

So slow down.
You just want to be loved.
I hear it all the time.
Everybody’s wondering how far will we run...

You should’ve known...
You should’ve known...
You should’ve known
There’s more to life than “Live for Today.”

Yesterday I was reminded that life is a lot shorter than I think.

Over a long period of time through a sickness or maybe in the blink of an eye through a car crash, we all are decaying and dying. For this reason, it's so vital and important to live life for the future, for eternity. Doing that takes on many different tasks, but my prayer is that those tasks reflect the Gospel, reflect what Jesus would do in my position. Or better yet, look to the Bible and see what He did in my position. I can't be thankful enough for the fact that I already have an example to look towards. Or else, getting lost would be an every-moment occurence. It's all because of Jesus that I'm alive. Man, I love that song.
