Thank you! For your willingness to share your story. Your courage to do so, and your commitment to lifting other women in the name of Jesus. We believe deeply, in beauty from ashes and that we all have a story that matters. We also believe that our stories don't have to be buttoned up to remind us that God is still at work. 

This form is designed to help bring structure to your storytelling. Please write your story in the segments below using the pointers to follow. We cannot wait to share the power of your testimony with someone else who needs to hear, "You are not alone."

Helpful writing pointers:

1. Write as if you were writing to a friend, sharing your story at a small group or with a mentee. Use first person ("I").

2. Take a few minutes to think about your story before jumping in. Each of our stories have layers, but depending on the audience or assignment, some parts may be more significant. For example, if you are encouraging women around depression and anxiety, be sure to spend time on your experience with that.

3. Don't forget to authentically share where God is at work. Where did He show up where you least expected it? What is he teaching you in the aftermath? It's okay if things feel in-process. We don't just banner Bible verse on stories because we have to, we recall the faithfulness of God because it sustains us.

4. As this may be shared publicly, do not include real names or anything that you would not want shared publicly.
