I want to leave a legacy.

As this day comes to a close and even though it has been kinda stressful I know that Gods hand has been in it and He will provide everything I need. I trust God with my life and I want to follow his will for my life I love the song legacy by Nichole Nordeman, it's exactly how I feel right now.  So as I sit here and write blog this song is slowly becoming my prayer...

I don't mind if you've 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
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much

I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights 
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But 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 leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed 
your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy

I don't have to look too far or too long awhile 
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy

Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred 
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
