Leaving A Legacy

Brie with her beautiful family.
The death of Brie Gomez has really opened my eyes. She was killed in a head on collision on December 26th while driving home with her family from Christmas festivities. She was also 7 1/2 months pregnant with her 3rd child, a little boy, whom they delivered by c-section, at 3lbs 1oz, and is still in NICU as we speak. My heart just breaks for this family. A husband, now a widower...a spouse, now a single dad...3 children now motherless...a premature baby never held by his mom. Brie left behind a legacy for her children. She was a follower of God, and on her blogs, talked about Him often. She loved her children, her husband, her family, and her Father. Her last blog, which was posted on the day of her death, was only the lyrics to a song titled "Forever Reign." The words that I read were such an encouragement to me. Even on her last day, she was praising the name of Jesus!! One of the lines said, "In You death has lost its sting." WOW, talk about goosebumps. That is the kind of legacy I want to leave behind. A legacy filled with hope, strength, faith, and wisdom in our Father. A legacy that is of encouragement. A legacy that will touch the lives of others even after I'm long gone. A legacy that my children will be proud of. A legacy that no one will need to question my motives and heart's desires. Dear Father...create in me a legacy. Amen.


Since my blog was started because of Brie...I've used her background on my page...as a reminder of just how precious life is, and to not waste a minute of it. Here are the words from her last post:
Forever Reign lyrics

You are good, you are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love, you are love
On display for all to see
You are light, you are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope, you are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace, you are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true, you are true
Even in my wondering
You are joy, you are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life, you are life
In you death has lost its sting

Chorus:
Oh, I'm running to your arms
I'm running to your arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

You are more, you are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, you are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, you are here
In your prescence I'm made whole
You are God, you are God
Of all else I'm letting go

Chorus:
Oh, I'm running to your arms
I'm running to your arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing comares to your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

Chorus:
I'm running to your arms
I'm running to your arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

My heart will sing no other name
Jesus, Jesus
My heart will sing no other name
Jesus, Jesus
My heart will sing no other name
Jesus, Jesus
My heart will sing no other name
Jesus, Jesus

Chorus:
Oh, I'm running to your arms
I'm running to your arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

Chorus:
I'm running to your arms
I'm running to your arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to your embrace
Light of the world forever reign


"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38
