lasting

i refer a lot to moving.

partly because it sparked the renaissance of my life with Jesus, and partly because i miss certain aspects of home.

relocating my life has probably left the most lasting impact on me to this day.

pain or joy, events in your life leave an impression on you.

awful or positive, people in your life have a huge impact on you.

i found myself praying for a lasting impact on the people my brother and his posse had the chance to be with in india.

then i found myself asking Jesus to let me leave a lasting impact on those that i come in contact with, now and forever more.

a significant lasting impact.

the kind impact where something so bright is shining through us, that it would be impossible to
ignore.

over the last few weeks things have been changing.

i just pray that significant, lasting impacts remain on the hearts i'm able to mingle with.

this sounds like one of my first papers that i ever wrote in my english class. i want people to see jesus in me and i want to leave a lasting impact for others to remember when i am no longer around. you have to make the decision everyday to live a life of love in everything that you do. the bible says that they will know we are christians by our love and that is key to leave a lasting impression on anyone.
