I Was Here

One of the television programmes I love to watch is American Idol.  Last Friday's performance by Angie Miller, who is 18 years of age blew me away.  I have included the link below so that you can enjoy her rendition of Beyonce song entitled "I was here".

                                                            I Was Here                                     I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time  Know there was something that, and something that I left behindWhen I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets, toLeave something to remember, so they won't forgetI was hereI lived, I lovedI was hereI did, I've done, everything that I wantedAnd it was more than I thought it would beI will leave my mark so everyone will knowI was here.I want to say I lived each day, until I dieAnd know that I meant something in, somebody's lifeThe hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leaveThat I made a difference, and this world will see.

This young 18-year old singer from Beverly USA, sang this with such passion and purpose that I believed every word she sang. Her inner conviction was displayed in her outward expression as she delivered this song that stirred something in me and everyone who listened to her around the world. It was truly a wow moment. Well done Angie. Awesome. 

I love the words of this song.  It was the first time I have ever heard the song.  Ha ha. This dates me a bit!  I don't normally listen to Beyonce's musicThis is the prayer for my life that I want to leave footprints on the sand of time.  My passion is to leave a positive Godly impact on people's lives and that at the end of my life on earth that I can truly say 'I have no regrets'.  I want to leave my mark on people's lives not because of who I am but because of Jesus in my life.

Jesus is the one who gives me the capacity to leave His mark on the lives of people.  I want to be able to live each day to the fullest as God has blessed us with life and life has to be enjoyed.  My prayer is that I can truly make a difference and add value to people's lives wherever doors open for me in the nations of the world.  Living life this way is a choice.  I choose to live and make a difference in people's lives.

Angie, thanks for singing with passion and conviction. Such an example for the next generation of young people.

Matthew 5:13  "You are the salt of the earth ..."
Matthew 5:14  "You are the light of the world ... a city set on a hill..."
 One day,  will you be able to say  "I was here, I have left footprints on the sand of time.  I have left my mark on people lives and have made a difference"
