One of my favorite songs of all time is "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2. The last of the lyrics sum it up best for me:
I believe in the kingdom come
When all the colors bleed into one
Bleed into One,
Well Yes I'm still running
But I still Haven't Found
What I'm Looking For
You broke the bonds
and you loosened the chains
carried the cross of my shame
of my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
by U2
Do you ever feel that way? Like you still haven't found what you are looking for? This has been quite a year for me. I went from me being flat broke to having a job and being able to save for a new car. I don't make enough yet to move out, but I'm on my way. At the same time this wasn't the job I saw myself doing. I still have aspirations of having my own business because being under the authority and structure I'm currently under is very chaffing.
However, I am content at the moment. Ever ambitious to do more and see more because that is who I am, but content in the path and the knowledge I'll get there. Still, I can't help but feel there is something else out there. And my big fear is that I will fill it with the wrong thing. And so I pray.
I have loved "Show Me What I'm Looking For" by Carolina Liar for a long time. And I never really paid attention to the lyrics before (which is odd for me), but I finally did and realized it was the answer to U2's song I had sung for so long. I don't really have an answer for the question what I'm looking for, but I do have to say I believe I am on my way.
