I have been thinking a lot about what kind of legacy that I will leave behind. You may say that I am too young to be thinking about how I'll be remembered when I am gone, but I beg to differ! My legacy starts here and now and will live on when I am gone (whenever that is). I am a nurse and I have recently taken care of several cancer patients, even the word cancer has such an ominous meaning and it got me thinking. It's hard to think about the end of life on this planet. Luckily for me, I know I am saved by grace and I am not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean I am eager to go anytime soon, lol. I know my time on this planet isn't near it's end. I know that God has a greater plan for me and I am doing my best to be open and receptive of whatever that is. I am the happiest I have ever been, at this point in my life, I feel DJ and I did the right things by moving out to California. Yet, I know I have not yet reach my maximum potential, I know there is more for me. This is not some selfish desire to have more, but it is a longing that I believe God has put in my heart to BE more. I know that I have yet to reach all that is meant for me and I am working on opening my heart and allowing God to show me what that is. I have this intense feeling that is it much more than I have ever dreamed of or thought possible for myself. Do you know how hard it is for me to think of the possibility of drastic change? It really wasn't easy for me to move across country, until we were on our way, I wasn't sure that it was the right decision. I am not as open to change as I wish I were, especially the possibility that my life might be completely different in the end. But I know that I don't want to hold back, I might have more potential than I knew. I feel that if I am true to myself and God's plan for my life, I will leave behind the kind of legacy I would want associated with my name. I hope that I continue to strive to reach my full potential and open my heart to something I didn't think was possible for myself. So I encourage you to think about what kind of legacy you will leave behind and remind you that you have the power to choose to leave behind one worth remembering.
