Legacy

Like Mark Driscoll says all the time

U dont want just a boyfriend and a good weekend,
but a great husband and a legacy.

1st time i heard about someone leaving a legacy was from Nicole Nordeman's song Legacy.
and somehow, those words " i wanna leave a legacy" stayed throughout all these years.

Though at that time i questioned, isnt legacy a very big thing?
and how can someone like me leave a legacy? I was about 15 just then. growing up in the environment where i never felt lyk i fit in and with ppl telling me all the time that my opinions amount to nothing and that i'm too young to do anything if i wanted to.

I gave up the idea of changing this world and making this world a better place not long after and become just like everyone else just nothing bt fully absorbed in my own issues and problems.

But lately, I've been reminded of legacy again. Thru mark driscoll and this returning burning desire and passion i used to have. Fire for God i believe is reigniting in my heart. and this time its gonna be better than the previous time i had!

So , i want to leave a legacy and with God i will leave a legacy.
and when my future husband comes along, we'll leave a legacy together as a couple, a family , a team , an army for God.

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
whoblessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity
