Leaving a Legacy.

We will all leave our mark on the time line of forever. The question is; what kind of mark will you leave? Doing Fine Arts has been a real blessing. A hassle, yes, what with all the practices and such, but I know God gave this message to Rog and Brooke for 3 reasons. Reason number one; to show people that ultimately your time will come, and its up to you to decide whether you are going to "Leave a legacy" or "Make a memory that fades away" This message is such a powerful one, and I think it's mainly directed to the teens of today. I mean would you rather go out and party every night, wake up the next morning, not remember a dingle detail from the previous night, then go do it all again? Or, would you rather go on living your life knowing that your safe no matter when its "Your time" because you have God in your life? Reason number two; Sophia Niccum. God knows how much of a struggle she has had the last year. He is showing her that even though she hasn't been living up to her full potential she can change that around and life her life for Christ, she can leave her own legacy. And, reason number three; me. I know that for so long the people that love me have sat around and watched me destroy myself. They watched me destroy that legacy that I was supposed to leave. Well now they don't have to anymore. I finally got it. I sound so cheesy but honestly I don't think the meaning of this whole Fine Arts thing has officially hit home to me until now. I mean, every single word of that song sounds like its directed to me.
"Oh, I want to leave a legacy to be remembered.
More than just a memory that fades away
Because we only,
we only get one life
Free me, my hands are tied
I'm so tired of wasting time
These endless inventions
Steal my attention from real life
And when its done, when its over
Oh, I want to leave a legacy to be remembered
More than just a memory that fades away
Because we only, we only get one life
And will the world see Christ
When they look at my life?
Oh, will the world see?"
So I say from now on I'm going to do my best to leave a legacy. What is the point in going out and getting wasted anyways? God gives you every single second of every single precious day. What a waste that would be if you are not able to recall one moment of it because your too intoxicated. No smoking weed. What good does that do you? No smoking. God gave you your body. He made it in his own image. Don't ruin such a magnificent creation. No inflicting harm to yourself. You are made from his image. So go ahead, live your life to the fullest. That is what God wants. Just make sure your doing it in all the right ways.

^I'm a cheese ball. What else is there to say?^
