One of the joys of my job as Marketing Director for Share HIS Story is that I get to work in creative ways with beautiful, inspiring, story telling jewelry. The story behind My Faith Journey Bracelet is now part of my faith journey.
The owner and designer behind Share HIS Story, Jan and I designed My Faith Journey Bracelet (that was really fun to be part of). This piece of jewelry tells the story of coming to a saving faith in God, learning to trust in God’s faithfulness and ultimately looking forward to spending our eternity with God in Heaven.
The My Faith Journey bracelet has 3 sections:
Section 1: all rough stones, representing your life before, or without, Christ
Section 2: rough and smooth stones, with the cross in the center of this section, representing your life on earth with Christ at the center, helping you through rough times
Section 3: crystals, representing life eternal in God’s kingdom!
Section 2: rough and smooth stones, with the cross in the center of this section, representing your life on earth with Christ at the center, helping you through rough times
Section 3: crystals, representing life eternal in God’s kingdom!
This bracelet is a limited time design. Share HIS Story encourages you to share your story by sharing your personal Faith Journey with all who ask you. My Faith Journey bracelet allows you to customize your story to represent your life…. and help spread the good news of the gospel through your story! What a beautiful, amazing way to share your faith.

Looking at the website made me fall in love with the jewelry and the opportunities for sharing Christ message that obviously would result.
My favorite, if I must pick only one, is the Fruit of the Spirit bracelet with square multi-colored crystals [item #10-64]. I believe the variety of colors would make it a piece that could be worn with most every outfit and it would be eye catching and present opportunities to share and it is personally appealing to me because of my own spiritual journey.
Brokenness best describes my life after I got married. The road has been long, difficult, dangerous and yet so blessed. Blessed to see a bazillion times His faithfulness and protection. I like the rough stones in the jewelry because it means they can be smoothed….and the smoothing process is not always easy, but it’s always beautiful.
I’m going to engage my life with homeless veterans. If I had to pick one, I’d choose the Pink Coral bracelet. But, I think the homeless veterans would find that funny! I’m just a simple homespun girl who wants to share her journey with others and introduce them to the Greatest Freedom-Giver in the universe.
Sandy,
I like the freshwater pearls because it reminds me that my sins are washed away and the solid silver beads remind me of the challenges I went through and right in the middle is the cross. God was and is with me always.
Sandy,
I love what these stand for and the attraction it brings from strangers. My favorite is the pearl bracelet. I love the purity of it. It reminds me of Christ’s purity in his forgiveness, acceptance, love, grace (just to name a few). All the things that I am thankful for day to day. My earlier days with Christ was never personal to where I was thankful daily, I only thought about them when my life was at its low. That is the beuty of these bracelets, they have a story to tell and not one bracelet represents the same journey and how the person feels about the specific design or color…..I could ramble on and on as you know I love to talk but thanks for the opportunity….
So I know that I won’t be picked because I am your daughter. Something about a bias or something!
But I really like the ASK SEEK KNOCK bracelet that is on the website as well. And the amethyst earrings. Very pretty. Hope that you are having a good day. Our carpet is still drying-two more hours before the big move in!
Hi Sandy,
I was walking with Beth Beiter last night and she was telling me (again) about you and suggested your site so here I am. I looked at the bracelets and would choose the freshwater pearl. First, because it is a neutral color and would go with everything – “spiritual” huh?! But the pearl is formed by the sand’s abrasion on it and that is what life is like – “in this world you will have tribulation” ah, but the best part “be of good cheer I have overcome the world!” Hallelujah, what a Savior! As life’s trials are used to make us more like Christ we, like the pearl, will be more beautiful. In Christ, Linda
Hi Sandy – What an awesome way to talk to others about Christ! These bracelets tell the story so truthfully and with such beauty. Its hard to pick a favorite but I like the “My Faith Story – Blue Lapis”. (The ‘Family Story’ line is also wonderful.) A simple reason is because blue is something I would wear everyday and what good is a bracelet like this if its sitting on my dresser! A more complex reason is you can really see the detail of the rough stones compared to the smooth ones and especially the crystal. Just like when you know Christ. You can actually see and feel his presence in your life.
Hi Sandy,
I love this bracelet and everything it stands for. What a great idea! My favorite one was the pink coral. I will have to tell my friends and family about these!
My daughter has had a bracelet on since the very moment she was ours forever! It has never been off of her. I got it for her after we had 1st met her and had to leave her for an unknown amount of time. I called it my faith bracelet, and I would hold onto it and think about her and pray for her and thank God for her
As for the contest, I love the pearl bracelet.
Hi Sandra,
I just started to cry when I saw the beautiful jewellry created by HIS Story. I work with children and I find many of them, young & older, girls & boys, are drawn to the colourful jewellery I wear. I often tell them stories about where it came from or who gave it to me but to be able to tell stories to them using these bracelets will be amazing, especially the Salvation Bracelet. I also love the Hope Bracelet as there is a young mum I know who is going through some really tough times and it would be such an encouragement to her, I’m sure, to hear in a new & creative way that in Jesus there is hope and then to be able to bless her with the bracelet would be awesome. I’m heading back to the website now to sort out costs and postage to Australia (I hope that’s an option).
Bless you Sandra (& Jan)
Karen
Hi Sandy,
These bracelets are beautiful. I like the family story bracelets. Putting family birthstones around a cross in the middle is a good way to remember how Christ should be the center of our family!
Tracy
I had trouble picking one…does that surprise you??? But I was drawn to the “Marriage is built on trust” because God has really blessed me in my marriage. But I also really liked the design of the bracelet!!! It was fun looking at them all!
Hi Sandy,
The jewelry is just beautiful. I really liked the “Thy Word” bracelet… hmmm, I might put it on my Christmas list! As far as the contest goes, my favorite faith journey bracelet is the pearl bracelet. There’s just something so classic about pearls… and the opportunity that it gives to share my faith is so neat.
Have a great day!
Stephanie
Hey Sandy, I think I liked the Blue Lapis bracelet the best, but it took me awhile to choose. I think these are lovely and what a great way to start a conversation about what the Lord has done and is doing in our lives! The symbolism is perfect for sharing with others ,as well. Personally, I hope you are impressed that I actually navigated through these sites and figured out how to leave a comment. This is very impressive for the girl who graduated from email 101 not that long ago! Love you, love Him, Kim
Hi Sandy. I just found your blog when I was looking for “MOPS blogs”. I really like the blue Faith Journey bracelet you have pictured on your blog.
My favorite piece I saw was the God’s Faithfulness in My Life bracelet. I just love that you could commemorate things that God has done in your life with a bracelet, kind of how God instructed Joshua to build a memorial of stones where the Israelites crossed the Jordan. The stone memorial served a purpose for future generations to be told of God’s work, power & love and I can see a bracelet like the faithfulness one giving incredible opportunities to share life testimonies.
