Hi friends, in today's episode, brokenness can feel overwhelming, but this episode reminds us that God uses our struggles for a greater purpose.

We explore how insecurities, body image issues, and personal stories of healing reveal the beauty of embracing our scars and the potential that lies in recognizing our worth through Christ.

• Understanding the connection between brokenness and purpose
• Exploring personal struggles with body image and insecurity
• The role of self-acceptance in healing
• The importance of internal validation over external praise
• Recognizing that scars do not define our worth
• Calling listeners to put their struggles before God for healing
• Encouraging community support and sharing of stories
• Affirming the beauty in brokenness and God's restorative work

I hope your takeaway from today's episode is that God has a purpose for your brokenness, imperfections, and scars; none define who you are, only God does. The Lord says in Psalm 139:14 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well".

Together, we engage in heartfelt prayer, inviting the peace of God to guard our hearts and minds amid life's challenges.

As you listen, may you find solace in the knowledge that God is not only with you but actively working in your story.

What happens when the plans we've carefully laid out for our lives are met with an unyielding "no"? On this episode of Positioned for Purpose Conversations, I, invite you to explore the deeper wisdom behind God's rejections and how they can lead us to a more profound understanding of His will. We unpack the emotions of disappointment and hurt that often accompany His refusal, but through the lens of Romans 8:28, we find hope in the promise that all things work together for the good of those who love God. Reflecting on the story of King David, we'll discover how his acceptance of God's decisions with humility can serve as a guiding light for our journeys of faith.

Amidst the noise of societal pressures and personal expectations, embracing God's "no" becomes a testament to our trust in His plans for us. This episode encourages you to see His refusal not as a denial of love but as a greater expression of it—steering us towards our ultimate good. We'll consider how submitting our desires to His wisdom can bring us closer to His perfect plan. Join the conversation and find strength in knowing that even when His answers are not what we hoped, they are always what we need.

I pray you will embrace God's NO as HIs best for you.

Our conversation today focuses on purposely choosing gratitude despite what is happening around us.

If you are like me, there are times when our hearts are ungrateful towards God. It happens when what we pray for and receive does not align with what God gave us, and we become discouraged, and the heart of gratitude becomes sour.

2024 has been a challenging year, and if we are not careful, that is all we can see; however, if we are mindful to ask the Holy Spirit to open our eyes to His goodness over the year, we will see that it was not as hard as we thought and that He kept us throughout.

On the other hand if you doubt that your heart was filled with gratitude and the Holy Spirit revealed that you weren't, confess and then allow Him to fill your heart with thankfulness, that is what He did for me this year.

On today’s episode with special guest Amanda Schaefer, our conversation was focused on seeing God through the fabric of our story.

As this year comes to a close, our focus can sometimes be on the pain we endured and maybe wondering where is God.

Amanda reminded us that there is purpose in the pain and God will use our story for His glory. Ultimately we are serving God in servin others and as He heals you, He will use your difficult broken things and connect us to each other. Romans 8:28 was the applicable verse “And we know that all things work together for good, to them that love God and are called according to His purpose.”
May this conversation encourage you to pursue Christ and ask Him to reveal your purpose and may you allow Him to use your pain for His purpose.

The holidays are just around the corner. There is excitement, and the families are getting together, but some will miss a seat around the table. They have experienced some loss and wish the holidays would pass quickly.

This is my encouragement to us to look out for each other and take notice of her. Has she become more silent, more reserved? The light has gone dim, the laughter less robust?

See her and see how you can support her during this time; I encourage you to embrace her and her loved ones during the holidays. The Peace Giver is yours and He will heal the broken places.
