"The Motions"

Another update about healthy food!

I used to get sick a lot. I don't know why - maybe it was a weak immune system or something? But recently, I haven't been getting sick as often, which I am very thankful for! I really like the feeling of being able to live life without being brought down by sickness, and I REALLY want to keep it up. Last night I went to the store and walked through all of the isles, scrounging for healthy food. Anyway, while I was wandering around, Matthew West's new single came to mind. It's called "The Motions". Here's the iTunes URL if you want to check it out: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=271001068&id=271001060&s=143441


"This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

Take me all the way (take me all the way)
Take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)
Take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)
Take me all the way . . ."

The song reminds me of my desire to live life to the fullest, and not just going through the motions, especially the "Take me all the way . . ." parts. I don't want my life to be half-lived, I do want to be taken all the way! I feel like the Lord has big plans for me and let's face it, it's tough to do big things when you're feeling weak and running a fever, right? I so want to be able to just go and go and go and live life to glorify God while feeling good and not being beat down by colds or stomach viruses. Those are blah . . . God is great!

Be sure to check out Matthew West's new album "Something To Say" on iTunes. I've listened to it, and I doubt you'll be disappointed. Thanks for reading. Take care! :)
