Are you reluctant to share your story with other people? Time and time again when you share you give me hope and I know others need to hear too.

Are you reluctant to share your story with other people? Maybe you are hesitant because you don’t have it all wrapped up with a happy ending. However, time and time again when you share you give me hope and I know others need to hear too.

Your story allows us to see:

    • We are not alone in the struggle.
    • God does answer prayers.
    • Making mistakes is okay.
    • We can persevere through adversity.
    • God is BIG, faithful, and will never leave us.
    • We can find strength.
    • God can be trusted.
    • Prayer works.

Do you hesitate to share your testimony?

Today I picked Dr. Michelle Bengtson’s post to feature for two reasons. 1. She reminds us to go back to our Bibles and read the testimonies of long ago. They will give us the encouragement we need. 2. To invite you to join me in praying for Michelle. She has been brave in sharing her most recent diagnosis with cancer, and it is an honor to come alongside and pray for her. She is living out her faith in a public way right from the start which is a gift.  Through her testimony, we will be reminded to be brave in our circumstances.  Thank you – Michelle.

Dr. Michelle Bengtson has a beautiful website where she can be found renewing minds, restoring hope, and empowering families.

  4. Thank you for this weekly link up where we can share our thoughts, prayers and hopes with each other. I have made so many friends in this way. I am fairly new to blogging (less than 1 year), and the community I found in blogging was so unexpected to me. What a beautiful surprise! Heading over to Michelle’s blog now.
