Even though I’m on the ShareYourStoryNow.org team, I’d like to share how the site has impacted me.
Almost every time I visit this site, I feel encouraged and I feel my heart soften, I feel more tender toward God, others and myself. That’s a HUGE gift! I trust that that’s God’s Spirit working through the stories and scripture on the site.
Also, through the stories and scripture on the site, I feel strengthened and supported. And I feel more connected to the “community of saints,” to humanity.
I always look forward to reading or watching the stories and pondering the related scripture. This site has truly become life-giving for me.
I feel a lot of gratitude for and tenderness toward the site, the community of story sharers and commenters, and the beautiful team (Abby, Nat and Scott) I get to work with. So … many thanks to you all!

First let me say.. Mary, you are a blessing to me! I have said it many times, but I love reading your comments as they come in. So thank you for your encouragement. :-)
Share Your Story Now is such a blessing to my life. Every morning I do my devotional and am able to read the stories on this site, view the videos and feel touched and humbled that I get to do this for a living! WOW! This is such an amazing ministry and just feel thankful to be able to do this on a daily basis.

Dear ShareYourStoryNow Team,
Thank you Andy, Abby, and the rest of the team for inviting me to share my stories and comments. My mother is ill with Alzheimers and so many other obstacles I have to overcome, sometimes it just seem hopeless. This website has been a true blessing in my life and gives me something to look forward too, and I need some encouragement in my life right now. It also makes me feel blessed to be able to encourage others and be a blessing in their lives also.
I appreciate all of you and those of you that post your comments also, you’ve all been a great blessing in my life and I really need that right now.
Every time I try to do something positive or try to be a blessing to someone, seems as though all of hell comes against me and tries to stop me or discourage me and I have to do battle with satan, but greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world and with the grace of God, I will…overcome.
Thank You and God Bless!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYSN!!! One of my favorite stories on this site comes from the user videos that talks about when seeking for help, just remember 911. The way Enid explained this notion really got stuck in my head, I loved it.
