And that good is being able to tell people how God got us through, how God picked us up, and how God turned those dark chapters into something good." ~ Sharon Jaynes #MyStrengthIsMyStory #CreateYourNow #SharonJaynes Quotes and statements within the interview: "I applaud you for starting with that question, because it just tells me that you are looking at life through the right lens; the lens of joy and gratitude so we can have a better story." "Ministering to people face-to-face brings me great joy." "I grew up when my mom would say 'What's wrong with you?', when I was acting like a normal kid. I remember thinking, 'I don't know, but there's something wrong with me.'" "He [God] turns it into our greatest strengths when we give our weaknesses to Him." "So growing up, it was pretty difficult. It was not a good story BUT that story didn't stay that way." "I began to see that there was a big difference between what we had and what they had because we had a religion in our life. They had a relationship with Jesus Christ. And that made all the difference." "Sometimes we can be so involved in other people's stories. God needs to get us out of the way." "It's hard to run the great race of life when you got that burden that you're carrying around." "We set ourselves free when we choose to forgive." "It's okay to go back and look at your past to see why you are the way you are, but it's not an excuse to stay that way." "And I had this little thought from God, 'Would you rather have people think well of you or well of Me?' And I said, Oh Lord, I want people to think well of You." "I've got to stop saying 'Why me?' and start saying 'What now?'" "God is always working behind the scenes." "He is working in the meanwhile even though we don't see it, even though we feel like He's standing in the corner watching it occur. In the long run, it will help us if we let Him." "And then when you turn around and use what you've gone through for good, you are writing a better story." "We can have a better story when we look through the right lens."   What has your story gifted you? "I feel like that everything I've gone through that that's the good in it — that it helps me to help someone else. For that, it's just worth it to just know that."   Resources mentioned in the episode:
