a heart surrendered: Quote. Faith.

A faith that can't be tested can't be trusted.

Leaving a Legacy

One of my delights is reading biographies of the pillars of the Christian faith. Men and women who were passionately committed and willing to surrender ALL to the Lord. Reading about their journeys ... the calling, the commitment, the trials, the temptations, the mistakes, the successes and the joy they had for their life's work ... all of these things both convict and inspire to me to take a look inside myself.

WHY do they inspire us? They shared their lives with us - they left a legacy - because they wrote it down!

When the Lord calls us home, what will we leave behind? How will anyone know our story? How will anyone know how the Lord refined us? How we grew? How a once hardened heart became a heart of compassion? How will they be encouraged in their times of being in the valley if they are not able to see us walk successfully through ours and reach the mountaintop?

Leaving a legacy is such a precious gift to those left behind... generations after you will be inspired because truth is truth regardless of time.

Journal your life! Simple, deep, fun, serious .... just write!

I am a committed journal keeper and I will put pen to paper as long as I have breath. I want others to see God's dealings with me so they might be encouraged in His dealings with them. "Comfort one another as I have comforted you."

May all those who come behind us find us faithful ~ because they have seen the imprint of the Lord's hand on our lives as we tell our story.
