Your Story

I believe your story, your testimony, whatever you want to call it, is the most powerful weapon for God that you have.

Everyone has a front, a face they put on that the whole world normally sees. It's kind of like your profile picture or twitter account picture. My twitter picture is to the left. You look at it and think I'm generally happy. Like dressing up. Love my family. But, what can you tell about who I really am unless I tell you? A  lot of times, I don't like to tell people who I am, what I've been through, what's been really going on in my life on the inside so the picture on the left is who people really think I am.

I personally, have been hurt in the past, so opening up is sometimes scary. Let's face it, that's how a lot of us feel. We get scared and it keeps us from showing our true colors.

What's worse is, I believe as a child of God, we each have a story. I've shared a little bit of my story of the past year and a half in this post, and I don't think I'm even close to having revealed all God has done in my life and all that I've gone through. God's still working in my life, he's still writing my story. And whatever he writes, I'm called to share.


For me, I have a very tender heart and easily emotional when talking about tough things; which scares me away from sharing my story for fear of just completely losing it. I'm empathetic and my soft nature is part of my story, it makes me relatable. I'll cry with you, hurt with you, and try my best to understand what you're going through and hopefully you'll understand what I'm going through too.

But this fear I have, it's part of my story and it can't hold me back any longer. Tears show sincerity, hurt, love, emotions; none of those are things to be ashamed of.

I believe your story, your testimony, your proof of God in your life, is the most powerful weapon for bringing souls into the Kingdom of God that you have. 


This is why I feel strongly about personally sharing my story and that others should too. What God has done in your life is the one thing that others can never take away from you, you can never forget, and no one can argue with. So next time someone asks you to share, don't be afraid because who's to disagree with YOUR story?
