~ Getting Started ~

So, now that we have a fancy new album (or have at least planned on getting one) :) , here are some things to think about....

~ The title page - Be thinking about a scripture, song, poem, and / or picture that you would like to be on the first page. What kind of legacy do you want to leave? What is a song or verse that has become your prayer, inspiration or vision? Spend some time thinking about this first page. We will spend a month on this very important first page - so, if you are unsure what you would like to do, just leave it blank.

~ The first double page spread - Do you want to put the story of your life, a brief time-line, a letter to your future generations or families? These pages can be key pages in your album that make an impact and set the tone of your album. I plan on typing out a letter to my children to hold onto Jesus and talk about His faithfulness and grace. We will spend a month on these pages also, so, feel free to leave them blank if you are not sure what you would like to do.

~ From the next pages on - Each month, there will be a new theme we will be focusing on using ideas from the He Keeps Us Faithbooking Devotionals. I am actually very excited about this book and these pages. I know if I was not being intentional about creating my Journey to a Legacy Book, I would never have taken the time to document these important parts of my life that are truly part of my legacy.

~ Journey to a Legacy Photo Album - Once we have created our pages, I would love for you all to share them with each other. If we get enough interest, I dream of createing an on-line album for us to share our pages. We shall see :)

So, dig through those boxes of pictures, come with me, and start telling the story of your Journey to a Legacy!

~ The Journey to a Legacy Book Name ~

I originally was calling this special book created to intentionally tell your story and leave your leagacy a Legacy of Faith Book, but, I have changed it to a Journey to a Legacy Book. Why?

Well, first, I think I have seen Legacy of Faith somewhere before, and, I don't ever want anyone to think I took their idea - so, to be safe, I thought I would come up with something else :)

But, most of all, I want these books to leave the legacy, and also tell the story of our life. We are on such an amazing journey, filled with life-altering moments, people and places. The legacy we are creating is a result of what we learn from and how we are changed by these moments. Our first car, our first love, our grandparents, pain, joy love and laughter all help make who we are and what we leave. So, these books are telling our Journey to a Legacy, so, there you have it! :)
