Our Story - Video

Published: Oct 7, 2015 · Modified: Nov 3, 2015 by Olga · This post may contain affiliate links

Screen Shot 2015-10-07 at 1.28.05 AM 2If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you have probably heard some parts of what my husband and I have experienced in the first few years of our short married life.


Recently, we (my husband and I) started leading a small group in our church for married couples. We recorded several videos about some of the most relevant topics for married couples that want to “Build a Marriage To Last For A Lifetime”.
The topics that we are discussing are:
  • Marriage Expectations
  • Communication and Resolving Conflict
  • Personalities
  • Going Through Hard Times As A Family
  • Marriage and Money
  • Romance and Intimacy
  • The Purpose of Each Of Our Families
 (If you are interested in watching the rest of the videos, you can find them here. Not all of them are upload yet, but we will be uploading the rest every week for the rest of the month.)
One of the videos that we are sharing this week is our story and I thought some of you may be interested in seeing a video recording of our “rememberings.”
I hope our story encourages and inspires some of you. God has led us through the darkest valleys but has always been faithful.

    Olichka,

    I couldn’t get through this video without tears of joy and giving praise to our Lord for His goodness and kindness in your life. What a journey you’ve had to take, but so awesome to see you give God glory throughout this whole process. He has had special grace for you in your life and has given you such a strong testimony that would continue to bring glory to Him. I love following your food blog and seeing the Lord grow your family over the years! Thank you for sharing this with us.

    Hello. First of all I want to say Thank you very much for sharing your story. I cried to listen to this but God is amazing. Olga and Serge this story made my day, it's gave me a power and what I'm going through is nothing compare to what you went through. I am happy that I found you and listen to this video because God is amazing and like Serge said maybe it's seams like His far away but he is not... Made me think God is with us , be strong and appreciate your life and don't think I left you. So like I said your story is amazing and God been with you every moment of your life so He is with me also. Thank you again very much for sharing your story. Каждый раз когда я буду падать духовно я буду думать о вас и помнить что если у нас трудности в жизни ето не означает Бог нас оставил. Эта история была для меня. Спасибо вам.

    Olga and Serge.
    Thank you for sharing your life story with us. It works miracles to this day and will continue doing so. Да будет имя Его прославлено! I had such bad couple of months that I said "God, I can't do this anymore". To top those months of hard physical and financial crisis, this morning, I was pulling out of our garage and not noticing that my husband parked our van on the other side of the drivaway, crushed our daughters car onto our van. I completely ruined the back of her car and the front of our van. Right there, in that car, with my two kids in it, I yelled "come on, what else?" My daughter said mom it's ok but I just started yelling at her. Thank God, I had enough In me to apologize to my kids for giving them a bad example. I came home, opened my bible and read "from inside the fish Jonah prayed..."in my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. From the depth of the grave I called for help, and you listened to my cry"" Jonah 2:1-2.
    I came home from work feeling like someone beat me up. Your cucumber avacado wrap caught my eye and that's how I got to your story. I cried the whole way thinking that what I thought was so hard has no comparison to what you went through. I thank God for keeping you alive and may His name be praised at all times. God bless you abundantly. Thank you.

      Hello Valentina. I am so sorry to hear that you are going through a difficult time. It's especially hard when you get slammed with many challenges one after another, and it feels like you're drowning. May God give you strength to get through this time. I know that God already used you as a great example for your children, because it takes a lot of character to humble yourself before them and ask for their forgiveness. I have wonderful parents, but they are human and some of the moments that had a big impact on me was when they made mistakes but I saw how they worked through them with God's help and apologized to me and/or my siblings for setting a bad example and for responding to a situation not in the best way. I'm so thankful that God uses our story to encourage others. He has done incredible things in our life, showing His glory over and over again. There were many times when I would cry out to Him and also ask "Why?" or "how much more can I take?". God is faithful even when we have no strength left. May He give you His peace and lead you through this time victorious and resolve your hardships. I will pray for you and your family.
