Lord,
Today has been tired, me that is... Lord I can't really see what is to come, but I feel more acutely than ever that I need to write more. I feel like you've put that book about my mission trips on my heart to 1) connect with people from the past, 2) encourage young people, 3) encourage the leaders of today, and 4) give me someway to leave something that will last.
That is why I love scrapbooking and recording events because they are records of the past that I want to share with the next generation, even if it is only my future nieces and nephews. I guess I feel like my family generations before me had very few things to hand down to me, and I want to give the things I am recording and organizing to someone. Sometimes it makes it easier for us to continue and walk the road in front of us if we know where are our roots are and where we come from. This does not mean that you Lord do not overcome the past and turn things into all good for those who love you, but sometimes I feel like I don't know my roots at all. I don't mean to criticize, but it just something often on my mind and heart lately.
Lord it reminds me of that song by Nicole Nordeman, Legacy. I want to leave a legacy, even if it is quiet and seemingly shallow to me. Lord. You are my future and my legacy. Tell me what to do and what to write. Thank you for your Legacy in your Word.
In your name,
Amen
