Another reminder

This song is soo good! I've really been loving JJ Heller's music as of late, especially this song! Considering I've only got 51 days left in Australia, I've had to ask myself, "What have I done here? What kind of memory am I leaving? Have I been pleasing to God and a responsible representation of Americans to Australian since I've been here? What can I still do with my time left here in Australia? What impact can I make?". The same can be said of your life; are you considerate and caring, or does the world (and your schedule) revolve around you all the time?.. Who are you putting first?... What are you living for?...

Those are BIG questions, but worth asking yourself... Try it! And try living for someone other than yourself today! You might just experience the freedom you've been searching for! ;)




"When I Leave" by JJ Heller
Am I too busy chasing a temporary fortune
That my priorities get lost along the road
The seasons bring their moments
They linger for an instant
They never wait for you to pay the debts you owe

When I leave I want to leave a memory filled with love
The kind you don't forget
When I go I want to be known
As one who lives with no regrets

If life is like a flower
Am I doing all that's in my power
To leave a fragrance behind
It's time to count my blessings
Forget about my savings account for a while

I want them to say
What a glorious day
She had so much to gain
But she gave it all away
And I want them to see something different in me
And that I'm going to be free

Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
When I leave I want to leave a memory...
