Day 105

Today is just one of those days. I feel like I'm at the bottom of the rope looking up. This verse is a perfect reminder of where my heart needs to be. The photo looked a little cluttered to me after adding my stamp..etc. But, this verse is "just what the doctor ordered" for me today. Don't you just feel overwhelmed sometimes? Not like I need someone to swoop in and save me, but I'd love for everyone to be responsible for themselves sometimes. :) Okay, a mother's exhausted rant. I do appreciate being a mom. But some days are harder than others.

From the end of the earth will I cry to you, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2

Day 10

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

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

- Nichole Nordeman 

I have thought about this, and how will "they" remember me? Don't you sometimes wonder? In this rat race called life, it seems like we get so caught up with things that don't matter. I sometimes think, what if I don't make it back home, who will find all those dirty dishes? Who will take care of the things I hold most dear to me? If I were to leave this earth tomorrow, what would "they" say about me? I am trying to "Leave a Legacy" and show my kids there is more to life than "stuff."  

We made these little verse cards and were reading them before every dinner. Everyone would pick one to read, then take turns reading one. I did a mad clean one day and they disappeared. Well, guess what I just found (and my youngest was elated!).. the cards we had made together. I pray that my children hold these verses close to their hearts. And maybe, one day, "they" will pick up my Bible and find these verses underlined and realize what matters most.
