Positioned for Purpose Conversations with Colette Marie
Positioned for Purpose Conversations is about where you are now and where God has always been.
It’s easy to focus on the pain, heartache, brokenness , loss and wonder where God is. Our podcast is to encourage you to see God in the midst of your story and be reminded, “And we know all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose “ Romans 8:28
As you listen to each episode ,I hope you pause, reflect on your journey, and see God's handprint and know there is purpose in the pain and if you allow Him to, God will produce His divine purpose in you.
Be empowered and encouraged to find out what you were created to do and do it.
I pray you will use your voice to share your story to impact other women to experience God's presence at each step of her walk.
