Life is filled with ups and downs. Yet, we have people such as Chadwick Boseman who showed us that our pain shapes us for our purpose. If you're wondering why you've endured some painful seasons, grab your favorite beverage and pull up a chair for some much-needed encouragement, sis!
2020 has been quite an eventful year. We've lost so many people we love and admire. Many have lost jobs, businesses, and homes, too. There's been so much pain and loss.
Chadwick Boseman reminded us, however, that our struggles and pains are meant to shape us for our purpose. It's never fun going through tough times but these moments help prune us. To become the women God's called us to be will require us to die to our flesh daily and to take up our cross and follow Him wholeheartedly.
In today's episode, we chat about how Joseph stayed faithful to God despite the pain and rejection he endured from his family + how we can, too. If he could endure one painful season after another, we can hang in there, too, sis! God's got us!
