Leaving a Legacy

I am blessed to have parents who believe that "to be one of the herd, is to be nothing". They've passed that mentality on to me. I've been thinking lately of what it is to leave a legacy. To be noticeably different for the right reasons. I believe that we should know what we believe and why we believe it. I think that even if someone had very wrong views about something, I would respect them for standing up and speaking out confidently. We shouldn't care what others may say or think about us. Now, don't get me wrong, I do believe that we need to cultivate a noble view of our reputation, but our focus should be God and His glory. This means not being influenced so easily, if you are one to lean in that direction. You must be able and willling to filter everything you see, hear, and observe in general through the lens of God's Holy Word. When we die ,as we all will, what will we be primarily remembered for? Will it be for always being a "pretty easygoing, compliant person" who just sort of went with the flow? Or will it be for standing firm on the principles and commands in God's Word? I pray that one day people will be able to say of me, " That Ahlaischa girl was really strange and she didn't put up with a lot of nonsense, but I respected her because she always spoke the truth in love, no matter the outcome. And she never allowed herself to be swayed by the things of this world, but she trusted in her God and depended on Him for her very livelihood, which she used to serve and glorify Him." That would be a legacy worth living for. P.S. This is completely off subject, but just in case anyone is wondering how to pronounce my name, here it is. It's like Asia, the continent, but uh-l- and then asia. uh-lasia :)
