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.
I am learning purposeful doesn’t mean a long list of things to do. I will focus on what is important. Being purposeful also means taking good care of yourself.
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.

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.
It is difficult to get things done by yourself. I like partnering with others As I plan what I will do, I think about with who. I have found projects have more depth if it is a collaboration. Who will I collaborate with?
