this is what I want.

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 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

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

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...


I came across this song oh I would say sophomore year in High School and it rang such truth to me. Well I guess getting a new computer, and such it got erased off my iTunes and for some reason it popped in my head today, and I'm literally in tears. How true is this song, I want to leave that kind of Legacy. I've screwed up, I've stumbled but ultimately I hope I leave that kind of legacy.. I want to be the girl that makes people's days, who is there to listen to love, to be a friend. I mean I don't have a lot of time these days, but I feel like it's right now that God is bringing people in my life. It's incredible.

Caitlin and I's friendship I feel like is so much better than it was 6 months ago, I can't describe why but I feel like it is. I don't feel like I completely depend on her, but more on the Lord. He's doing such a great work in my life.

Stuff with some issues I was having worked out, school is going really well, I love my classes. Friends? Awesome, and the job situation is going well. Some issues, but they've been ironed out. Also, I was called to go on a mission trip for Spring Break and I think that's going to end up working out too. I love church, and my Lifegroup I've been going to. God is so good and faithful!

I'm in complete love with my life, complete, for the first time in a long, long, long time. Praise God!

Love you guys,

-Kass
