The legacy of glacier melting and Rich Mullins

I’m lying here in bed and I just finished watching a NOVA documentary about glaciers melting. Glaciers are massive and they seem unmovable but when you look at pictures over time you can really see the changes in them. I’m not looking to debate the effect of humans on global climate because I’d much rather talk about legacy. When a glacier melts completely it dies but you are able to see that there was a glacier present. The errosion of the ground and the boulders are sign posts to the glacier. When I die what will my legacy be? Will the lack of my existence be noticable? Will people talk about my passion for God. Life is short but all the same I don’t consider what type of legacy I will have. My favorite quote pf all time is by the late Rich Mullins. “If my life is motivated by an ambition to leave a legacy,
 what I would probably leave is a legacy of ambition. 
 But, if my life is motivated by the power of God’s spirit in me
 and the awareness of the indwelling Christ,
 if I allow His presence to guide my motives,
 that’s the only time I think we really leave a great legacy.” This simple quote sums up my desire for my life. Lord grant me peace to know You are working, strength to endure, and faith to follow. May you sleep well tonight and rest knowing Him.
