What Will Your Legacy Be?

Leave a comment

Maybe it’s my personality. Maybe it’s growing up the oldest child with older parents. My brain has been wired for quite some time to think about legacy, purpose, and what my impact will be on the world. It made for interesting conversations with people in my age group. While they were thinking about right now and the immediate, my heart was leaning into what will be?

I believe we were created for more than taking up space, seeking our own pleasure, and then death. I believe we were created with a divine purpose. We are the walking, talking, paintings of God. We are the poems he has written on the pages of creation. Everything God created has a purpose. Do we all find this divine purpose and then align our lives with this purpose?

In my years of mentoring children, young adults, and even adults I will say I’ve encountered countless people who do not know why God put them on earth during this period of time. They are taking up space, completing the daily grind, hustling, some living paycheck to paycheck, and some dislike their lives.

Life was meant to be enjoyed, not simply endured. Yes, I am aware that in this world there will be trouble. I have certainly lived through long seasons of suffering, loss, and even betrayal. What I can say is, it has not all been suffering. There are tears that turned into joy. There have been moments of laughter and bliss. There have been whispers from God that made my heart soar.

When we know why God created us, it provides an opportunity to live aligned with our why. We enjoy life more. We can make meaning of even the most challenging circumstances. We are able to find contentment and satisfaction in our doing. We begin to do from our why instead of doing to find our why. Our identity becomes the spring board for our choices. We begin to ask if people, places, or opportunities align with who we are.

My why is linked to what I would love for my legacy to be. I desire people know the heart of God and it manifests in city outreaches to the invisible people on the streets, to victims of human trafficking, to children with no parents or parents who are too busy, to other women of color looking for anyone who looks like them in corporate leadership, to the hungry, to the sick without healthcare, and well, that is what I’ve done.

I posted to my social media last night, that if this were my last year of life, I would be happy with what I’ve done. It’s not for my fame or glory. A good number of years of my life what I’ve done or do has been in the shadows. There was no fan fare. No people lining up to support the mission. It was moving day in and day out on a mission. I hoped for and hope for the applause of heaven.

I hope you find your mission or purpose, if you have not already. I hope you find your why. Life is, from my perspective, more meaningful when we live in alignment with our why!

Why Soul Healing?

Beloved I pray you would prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers,~3 John 1:2.

Sweet friends you are deeply loved by God. So loved. I wanted to take a week off of the spiritual house series to talk about why I started this series. 

I too have been on this journey to wholeness. I couldn’t figure out why after forgiving people or situations that had happened in my life there was still deep sadness within. My spirit was beaming over with joy, yet my soul was sick. This sickness in my soul was leading me to eat the wrong foods, make decisions out of hurt/pain, and limit my freedom in Christ. 

The blood of Jesus was applied to my sins. My spirit sealed in Christ, yet I was walking around with deep wounds in my soul. Wounds of rejection, trauma, offense (though I’d forgiven people), and more. The power of God needed applied to my soul, the wounds in my soul. 

I’m pro Christian counseling. I’ve never done it, but have peer counseled. I’m extremely pro get with God and let Him touch every place that’s been wounded. God can do in an instant what others need a lifetime for…

I also through peer counseling, mentoring, praying for the sick and demonized realized the soul (mind, will, emotions) plays a huge role in freedom/lasting freedom. Hence there would be people who’d get free of an addiction and fall right back into it because their soul was sick. We’d evict evil spirits, they’d be filled with Holy Spirit, and end up right back in a hot mess. Why? The root issue was never dealt with in that person’s soul. Evil spirits love wounds. God loves to heal wounds. 

I also recall a lady who was deaf that we prayed for who was not getting any breakthrough until we started addressing unforgiveness, bitterness, etc in her soul. If the soul is sick, it impacts the body. 

The goal is hopefully to encourage you there is freedom, wholeness, and healing in Jesus. He paid for complete freedom. There’s no condemnation or shame to be had if the soul is sick. There’s a “God loves me so much He wants me healed and whole.” There’s forgiveness for sins and power in His name to heal! 

I’ve been in bondage to fear, and other things in my life and I can say with firm confidence I prefer freedom! Freedom in my soul! Yes God! He who the Son sets free is free indeed…thank You Jesus!

Father (Abba), bless everyone who visits this site or receives emails. Overwhelm them with Your love, peace, power, goodness, and the healing of Jesus. I speak wholeness of soul over each one of us. Soul be healed in Jesus name. More of You Lord. May our souls be excellent and free of wounds. Shine Your love and Light into every place. Do what only You can do. In the powerful name of Jesus, amen.

Love to you! ♥️ Lifting you up…

Love,
