Staying Positive in the Desert

In this episode, Jonna talks about seasons of walking in the desert, how to stay faithful, how to grow and seven verses to keep on your heart for encouragement. Isaiah 26:3 [https://www.biblestudytools.com/isaiah/26-3.html] -  You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.   John 16:33 [https://www.biblestudytools.com/john/16-33.html] - “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”   Psalms 32:8 [https://www.biblestudytools.com/psalms/32-8.html] - I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.   2 Corinthians 12:9-10 [https://www.biblestudytools.com/2-corinthians/passage/?q=2+corinthians+12:9-10] - But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Isaiah 40:31 [https://www.biblestudytools.com/isaiah/40-31.html] - but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.   Philippians 4:6-9 [https://www.biblestudytools.com/philippians/passage/?q=philippians+4:6-9] - Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.    James 1:2-3 [https://www.biblestudytools.com/james/passage/?q=james+1:2-3] - Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Everywhere we turn, we are faced with hot mess mom culture. Celebrating the messier the more “mom” you are. And while yes, motherhood is messy and full of labor and love, I am here to bring light to the claim Satan’s has on our lives as mothers. We are not messes. We are masterpieces designed by God, on purpose for a purpose. So join me for a conversation about stewardship as we seek to intentionally multiply all God has blessed us with in motherhood, marriage, life and faith.  Visit me for more stewardship conversations at https://www.theexcellencecollective.co [https://www.theexcellencecollective.co]AND subscribe to my YouTube Channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWfKB4LTRpzvz5EQOjpsiPg]!
