Welcome to Leaving a Legacy, I’m so excited you’re here!
My name is Shari. I am a follower of Jesus, wife to my best friend Bill, mother to two precious gifts, and a writer of hope and encouragement in Jesus. I’m also a stage IV breast cancer fighter.Some things that I have done in the past include, spending 11 years of my life working as a social worker within the homeless community and homeschooling my children for over 14 years. My favorite place to be is in the home, taking care of my family, while living each day to its fullest as I walk with the Lord.
The purpose of Leaving A Legacy is to encourage you to leave Godly legacies for your children, to offer you hope and encouragement in Jesus, as well as sharing my journey as a stage IV breast cancer fighter.
The idea for Leaving A Legacy started six years ago, a few years after my original cancer diagnosis. As I was reading in Acts 4:19, I heard God calling me to be a witness for Him through this journey. This verse says, “Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.” I could clearly hear His voice as He said to me, “Make this trial have meaning, glorify my name through it all.”
It’s because of this calling that Leaving A Legacy was created. It’s my desire to let others know that Jesus is Lord of all, He is true to His promises and amazing times of growth can come out of the darkest valleys.
We are not guaranteed tomorrow, but with the day the Lord’s granted us; it’s my desire to encourage you to live it to its fullest, leaving a Godly legacy for those around you.
I want to invite you to join us on Thursdays for our link up called, “Legacy Leaver Thursdays.” You can link up your posts that deal with leaving a legacy to your children and other loved ones. These posts can vary from spiritual encouragement, to homeschooling tips, to recipes and homemaking skills that you want to pass down. We would love to have you link up your posts and join our community.
It’s my desire that you would feel uplifted and blessed while you’re here. I pray that when you are visiting Leaving A Legacy it would feel like a home away from home, as you grab a cup of tea or coffee and relax as we enjoy times of growing in the Lord together.
Here are a few of Leaving a Legacy’s most popular posts. I pray they will offer you hope and encouragement.

Hi Shari, Just visiting from UBP13. My mom is an IBC (irritable breast cancer) survivor. It was a long hard journey, but she made it. I am going to pass your blog on to her. I know she would treasure reading your story. Amy

Hi Shari, visiting from UBP. Leaving a legacy is so important. Your first sentence is so powerful – you are truly a legacy leaver.

Hi Shari, I popped over from the Ultimate Blog Party 2013. What a blessing to read your testimony. Please know you’re in my prayers. And what a grand way of leaving a sweet spiritual legacy in the hearts of so many – including your children! I’m a big believer in that as well – for both my kids and now my grandkids! Such a sweet joy serving our precious Lord this way. Thank you for an encouraging visit.
