God or Man?

I have been in prayer on the upcoming event Legacy interns are responsible. I feel as this is from God but pray about it and see if you agree with this.
Isaiah 1:10-17
New Living Translation (NLT)
10 Listen to the LORD, you leaders of “Sodom.”
Listen to the law of our God, people of “Gomorrah.”
11 “What makes you think I want all your sacrifices?”
says the LORD.
“I am sick of your burnt offerings of rams
and the fat of fattened cattle.
I get no pleasure from the blood
of bulls and lambs and goats.
12 When you come to worship me,
who asked you to parade through my courts with all your ceremony?
13 Stop bringing me your meaningless gifts;
the incense of your offerings disgusts me!
As for your celebrations of the new moon and the Sabbath
and your special days for fasting—
they are all sinful and false.
I want no more of your pious meetings.
14 I hate your new moon celebrations and your annual festivals.
They are a burden to me. I cannot stand them!
15 When you lift up your hands in prayer, I will not look.
Though you offer many prayers, I will not listen,
for your hands are covered with the blood of innocent victims.
16 Wash yourselves and be clean!
Get your sins out of my sight.
Give up your evil ways.
17 Learn to do good.
Seek justice.
Help the oppressed.
Defend the cause of orphans.
Fight for the rights of widows (NLT).
I was praying about legacy and all the hard work we will need to put in this project. I started thinking about feeding the homeless and the video and where we are headed. This may be from my own desires and flesh but I would like for you to please seek God and see if this resonates with you. We are the pilot group of interns from Legacy. I really feel we need to set the mark high and leave a legacy for those to come. If we feed 200 people tomorrow will anyone remember it next year? Even if we do a great video will it leave a legacy? I feel like God is saying whatever we do it needs to be something those bring glory to God. Something that everyone will know it was not by man but by God and God alone. I am not sure where God wants us to go, but I think it is much bigger than we thought. Love you all. Blessings Leslie

Romans 15:5,
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ(NLT).
