Jen's prayer: Plus One's "My Life"

First of all, I started to laugh when I saw I got to listen to a Plus One song. My friend Emma and I used to be obsessed with Plus One back in the day. Plus One was our Jonas Brothers if you catch my drift. It's kind of difficult for me to hear this song without feeling like I'm back in 8th grade, but that doesn't mean these lyrics are only for young ones. When I think about it, some people in their 20s I know that could benefit from sitting down and listening to what this song is all about. I kind of feel like the message Plus One was singing and dancing about in "My Life" is that it's okay to party every now and then and have a fun time, as long as we realize this isn't our life, it's God's.

My friend Megan and I often struggled with attending UD - a school which basically partied all the time. We just couldn't get into the drinking and craziness that went on there. I don't care if you have fun every now and then, but there's a limit. And as Plus One puts it...

If you've been set
On partying 'til
your head is
numb
Betta not forget
That the party
is when the
Kingdom comes!

As cheesy as that can sound, I just wish people understood that sometimes there is more to life than partying. We should focus more on getting ready for the big party in Heaven.
