Insecurity is usually the reason we feel anxious about sharing more of who we are with others. Friend, It's time! It's your new business. Maybe it's time to share your faith. Maybe you moved and meeting new people. No matter what brought you to the place of needing to or feeling ready to share your heart with others, you find yourself here looking for help to know how and I am excited to help you!

You decided to step out there into the world and the first time you go to open your mouth, you can't find the words! I get it...you KNOW you need to get good at introducing yourself to others, especially if it's a purposeful introduction like introducing a product or your faith but your hands are sweaty and your heart is pounding and your tongue...it's feeling like 100lbs! It's okay! I have been there too! Let's break this down and simplify.

I didn't realize I was the only who struggled with this simple task, Where do you start? How much do you say? Do you have to tell people all the details of your life in order to share you thing? What if they have questions you don't know the answer to!?

These are the questions I had too! So I asked around, asked other people, read some articles so I could overcome this roadblock. Now, I want to help you too! 

I will soon be hosting workshops where can meet Live together and enjoy some real time share time, Make sure you have connected with your email and so I can send you updates and announcements! I will also be sharing resources and encouragements in our Facebook Group too so be sure to hop over there and turn on notifications! 

In the meantime, here are some quick tips to sharing your story.

Keep it simple and short. People are not genuinely interested in hearing your life story but they would like to know enough about why you think you can offer them the service you are offering. 

Share what makes you comfortable and keep the focus on converting the conversation to their benefit. You don't need to share every detail of your past or pit or trial in order to validate your offer. Share what you feel led to share and extended conversations can always happen over coffee at another time you choose, if you choose.

Share what benefit you have received and what it potentially can do for them. This is the reward, whether for a product or salvation message, why do you feel they need it and how can you communicate it to them in a way they see themselves with a void that your service can fill.

Be ready for both the acceptance or the refusal.  Know it's not personal and it just isn't for them at this time. it's okay. 

Know how you can serve them regardless of their answer. What is your follow up plan if they say yes...if they say no?

Would you like me to email you a Printable Guideline? I've got you covered! The link for you to print it out is in the Guides Section of our Group in the 3rd Guide Sharing You OR
I can also EMAIL it to you!  CLICK HERE! 


As always, keep in mind The Good News you have found blessed you and it's time to share it with others! Let's go!! Surrender your nerves and and organize your thoughts. Listen to the Holy Spirit as He guides you to the right people and the right time. It's never just about you, it's about loving God and loving others!

Let's RISE UP and REACH OUT TOGETHER!!
Michele

Michele"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named that according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
Ephesians 3:14-21 ESV

A Little About My Heart

 
Born and raised in the church, a Christ Follower, Kingdom Encourager, Wife, Mama, and an Overcomer! GLORY TO GOD!!

I lived most of my life fearful, anxious, and insecure.. I found myself always hiding but serving, striving for perfection in my less-thanness, as a way to earn my worth to self, God and others, sacrificing in the name of serving, hospitality and humility...putting others needs before my own from a place of hiding in my lack, and trying to earn value rather than serving in the space of grace, confident faith and overflowing love. 

Never attaining, only to lead a life of more insecurity, overwhelm, anxiety, and panic, screaming to break free from this bondage, to be that actual strong, courageous Christian Woman everyone else seemed to be, but me. 

BUT GOD.

In 2009, Where Faith Is was born as a blog, learning my voice behind the safety of a keyboard, building courage to speak my truth behind the screen...and here all these years later, Little by little, God is expanding my heart boundaries as He reveals more of His to me. I am so excited to share so freely! 

I especially love being an encourager to other encouragers in the faith who know they are called to encourage yet they themselves struggle with their value and ability. Isn't that how the enemy works? He tries to disqualify us in the same area we are called to shine! What an irony!  

I believe if more people let go of fear and insecurity, surrendered to grace and BELIEVED their value, their spark for life will return to a roaring fire that lights up wet wood! 

When women choose to walk courageous and strong in body, mind and spirit...they step out of the boat and walk on water as Peter did, part the waters like Moses and set more people FREE in His name through their Divine purpose to the Glory of GOD! We are each a Light House of Strength on the shorelines of Grace . 

Friend, you may not believe it, but you are meant for more than eat/sleep/work/repeat. You are also equipped with good works to serve and bless the Kingdom Body, and the world with His Love, through YOU! You've got to surrender your fear and let Him lead you.

You are more able than you think you are and most likely, the thing you feel is the weakest part of you is the strongest thing about you!

If you are an introvert too and want to be a part of our newly launching online community, we are here for you!! Let's Connect! It's an honor to encourage the Encouragers.

I am H.I.S. (Heart In Surrender & Service).

Hugs & Blessings, 
Michele

"So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 
Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:1-4
