WHAT KIND OF LEGACY WILL YOU LEAVE BEHIND?

Was just so blessed to be able to meet up JM, one of my junior in Uni and MUOCF at TCC in Bugis Junction recently for coffee. Haven't had the time nor occasion to do for a long long while...sigh...i miss my 'coffee ministry'!! But was just overwhelmed with thanks when she shared about how my life has impacted her...how my prayers have helped her to mentor and pray with the younger leaders in OCF after I left...Thank You Lord for giving me a glimpse of the harvest that You have given me.....even if it was someone else who reaped the harvest, I am glad and really honoured have been able to be a part of Your work on campus!

Ever wondered what kind of legacy you wanna leave behind? Listen to what one of my fave songwriter says....

LEGACY – NICOLE NORDEMAN

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 the 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

Chorus:
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 lengthy list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon destroy

Chorus

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