Legacy

I believe in Jesus. He is why I am. Although I have concerns about my legacy, the ultimate decider of that is the Son of God.  

My legacy of faith is that I trust God. What I have learned is that even though I make plans, His plans always beat mine because He makes His plans knowing the future. He has always had better plans for me than I have for myself. He has shown me this over and over again.

I love Him because He first loved me. He taught me what love was. He showed me what love was. He is teaching me to love like Him.

He has made me His forever pupil. I never arrive. There is always so much more to learn. I am good with that.

My faith will be trust, love and continuing to learn.

Legacy

something handed down from the past

As we draw close to the end of 2023, I am thinking about what kind of legacy I want to leave. What am I doing to speak to that legacy? What will I do next year to further define the intent of the life I am living? What’s important?

That is where we will go this month. Let’s explore what’s really important.

I believe that God is good. I know He has a purpose for me because the Bible told me so. I am going to make sure I walk in that purpose. I spend time in prayer and bible study to make sure I am aligned to His purpose. I have found His purpose for me is always bigger than anything I have ever come up with.

In order to start being purposeful, I have to know what I value and understand what I believe. I value diverse voices and historical stories that champion them.  I want to impact the world and stand up for justice. Most important, I want to encourage faith in God that leads to life changing experiences. I will try to measure all of my goals against these values.

September 4

This month the word is Purposeful. It means intentional. Having a useful purpose. I know that I am here for a purpose. Why am I here? What am I called to do? Do I make a difference? If so, how? I look at my vision and mission to check how my actions are aligned. Am I really living in my purpose? Let’s see what God says.

Also, a part of my strategy is helping others. I believe we were created to be a part of a community. I will spend time thinking about who I can help and how. Reviewing the past and thinking towards the future helps me prepare for whatever is coming.

Strategizing

I took the opportunity to revisit goals from five years ago. It was a good moment to see where I have been and what I have accomplished. I have had wild goals, but over the years I have honed them. Where I was once, all over the place going in different directions, I am now focused. It reminds me to stay focused.

As I revisit my mission and values, I think about which ones I am accomplishing. I will think about what is relevant and where I need to change things. I will decide if this is a mission or value I can bring to life this year. If it is, how can I do it? If it is not, perhaps save it for another time.
