Leaving a Legacy

This past week I attended the funeral of one of my best friend's grandmother. As I was sitting there listening to all that was being said about this sweet lady, I thought to myself - What will people say about me at my funeral? What kind of impact have I left in this world? What will people remember me as? This grandmother was known as the godliest woman in her family...WOW! What a title to have!!
As I think about the legacy I aspire to leave, I am quickly reminded of 2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” I want the legacy that I leave to label me as faithful...a faithful servant of my Jesus. I long for the day where I hear Jesus say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Things I'm loving right now.

• I'm loving my hubby: I love that he loves the Lord. I love his smile. I love his teeth ( they are pretty much perfect) I love that he is the most sacrificial man I know. I love that he is a genius and extremely smart. I love that his family always comes first. I love how romantic he is. He is my everything.

• I'm loving my dog: Lexi and I have come a long way. You see, I really was not fond of her at first. She destroyed so many things in our house that I have lost track. I have had a love/hate relationship with her ever since we got her, but it has slowly turned to love . She is always there for me. Whenever I'm lonely, she's there. When I come home and have had a terrible day at work, she's there. She's is never in a bad mood and she never gets tried of listening to me. I never thought I can have so much love for an animal, But I do. She really is part of our family, and we love her dearly!


• I'm loving that in less than 10 days I will be an aunt! My SIL is due with a precious girl! This is the first grand baby on both sides. So we are all so thrilled and can't wait! I am SOO excited!!
• I'm loving that fall is just around the corner. I love everything about this season. Leaves changing colors, the yummy scent of pumpkin bread, and Yankee Candle's sparkling cinnamon.
• I'm loving this blog fulmerstory.blogspot.com . Their story brings tears to my eyes! Our God is so amazing and works in wonderous ways.

What Are You Loving??

Finally!

After a few years of blog stocking..I finally got the courage to start my own blog. Before I go any further I have to warn you all, If you like to be grammatically correct, this blog is NOT for you :) I will write like I speak and I know I'm not suppose to do that. :) My name is Yelena and I am married to my prince charming. He is everything I ever wanted in a man and sooo much more! Together we have a cute little puppy, Lexi. She is a wild child and daddy's princess! I was born in Ukraine and speak Russian and Ukrainian fluently. My faith is extremely important to me. My main desire is to live a Christ-filled life, falling more in love with my Jesus every day and allowing Him to form me into the woman, daughter, wife, and some day mother that he desires for me to be. I'm excited to get connected to the blog world. I don't expect this blog to be as good as some of my favorites, but I hope you all will enjoy it!
