Leaving a Legacy

For my first post on my blog, I wanted to talk about the main reason I even considered having my own blog...Mrs Janet Pate. No, I never got to sit down & have a conversation with her. In fact, I never even had the opportunity to meet her. But she lived & left a legacy that was so amazing, I didn't have to meet her to know that she was a virtuous, Proverbs 31 woman. Janet ended her battle with ovarian cancer today...victoriously. She is now resting in the arms of her Savior, completely pain free. Though she is no longer living on this earth, her legacy lives on. From the moment she found out she had cancer, she was at peace. Even in her dying days, she was at peace. Through this entire storm, she put her utmost doth in God, & praised Him continually. She was an absolute picture of a Proverbs 31 woman. I wish with everything in me that could've had the chance to meet her while she was on this earth, but I treasure the promise that one day I'll meet Janet face to face in our Heavenly home. I cannot wait until the day I get to thank her for encouraging me to aspire to be a Proverbs 31 woman,& to have a faith in God greater than life itself.
Thank you, Mrs Janet.
