The passing of a dear friend...
No, communication lines hadn't been open for some time...
Yes, I disagreed with some life choices...
Thinking...remembering...my choices impact others...
What if it was me... What would be said...
Lord, help me as I endeavor to pursue You...trust You...allow You to continually change me...
Legacy sung by Nicole Nordeman
I don’t mind if you got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
With all the who’s-who’s and so-and-so
That used to be the best as such-and-such
It wouldn’t matter much
I won’t lie, it feels alright to your name lights
We all need an ‘atta boy’ or ‘atta girl’
In the end I’d like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me
Did I choose to love
Did I point to you enough
To make a mark on things
I want to be leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace
Who blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
Don’t have to look too far or too long
To make a lengthy list of all that I enjoy
It an accumulating trinket in a treasure pile
With moth and rust, thieves and such
Will soon enough destroy
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me
Did I choose to love
Did I point to you enough
To make a mark on things
I want to be leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace
Who blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
Not well traveled, not well read
Not well to do, or well bred
I just want to hear you instead
“Well done, good and faithful”
Whoa, hey…
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me
Did I choose to love
Did I point to you enough
To make a mark on things
I want to be leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace
Who blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don’t mind if you got something nice to say about me…

New Year...some things never change!
In the midst of New Year’s resolutions, I would like to say that although there are a many things that I would like to improve during 2009, I am glad that some things remain the same. I’m thankful for the steady love of my Heavenly Father.
Sometimes I think that it is easy to fall into the trap of continually seeking for something different. I believe that it is vital for me to continually seek to pursue my relationship with Jesus. I want to continually improve my teaching strategies. I would like to make good choices about my health.
Instead of being a resolution, I think that these things should be a continual walk a continual practice. Slow and steady.
Well, just some random thoughts from a very tired brain. I don’t know what your week has been like, but if you’re going through a tough time, I hope this will help. I know it lifted my spirits tonight!
