My secondary schoolmate has given birth. We're gonna troop down to see her tomorrow. It wasn't that long ago we were cramming for the 'O's and now we're all having babies! Well not me but a number of former schoolmates... I think it's wonderful how we're kind of laying the bricks for the next generation to come along and give life their best shot. We're pioneering something here and it's really beautiful.

I'm already an aunt to my cousins' kids but someday, I'll be mum to mine. And it's exciting to think about those who will come after us, who will negotiate life with the same fervour and surpass the previous generation with such a potential for greatness. I know this world is broken and in such disarray. But I also know that there is a distinct purpose for each new life that breathes their soul into this world and proceeds to leave a spectacular legacy behind.

We're just sojourners here. But before we leave, the world needs to have been a part of that purpose we were called to sojourn here for. And our footprints will say much about what we've done, where we've been. And the mended hearts will show, the restored lives will reflect, the joyous cries will sound.

And the world will know that Christ has been in our midst.
