The statement that most spoke to me in this article was: My life will be marked by the lives whose lives are marked by my kindness and character. This statement led me to a question: Will my life make a mark?

If the Lord allows and I am able to live through every stage in this lifespan, it will likely be my children who will be the ones standing at my funeral reflecting on the impact of my life. The truth is that the greatest opportunity I have to make an impact is growing up right under my nose in my home. As a pastor, I want to be faithful with the Word of God and to be a race finisher of ministry. In the midst of all my goals and dreams, I want to make sure that I make a purposeful and spiritual investment in the wisest of places; right under my roof because that is one key way to truly leave a legacy in the world.
