How grace and faith work hand to hand…

Listen Later

In the episode, I'm diving into the conversation on why it's so hard for us to give ourselves grace and have faith that what is meant to be will manifest itself.

What does it mean to give yourself grace in my opinion?


  • Understand if the situation is new that you may be lost / and the same applies to something you have already been working through. *The fact is that you have to give yourself the opportunity to figure it out. Sometimes the answer isn’t right in front of you, and even if so, you have to feel and see this is the solution… and sometimes that can take time, but you will get there.


    • I also believe grace can be applied when we make and mistake whether to ourselves and someone else…


    I feel it’s important to…

    • Acknowledge the mistake 
    • Apologize 
    • And see about fixing it so it doesn’t REPEAT


      • Lead in faith… 


      Your life isn’t over in the moment and be aware of long-term goals.


      As long we have the ability to stop and change our thinking, we have option to do something different. *And that can be in the next moment, next day, next week and etc.* Ex: Taking care of ourselves.


      I believe we have to trust in faith that what is meant for us and what we really want is possible. 


      • I feel people sometimes lack faith because they think a situation is impossible. 
      • It’s only impossible because you say so. 


        • I have to understand that…

        Things will be scary in the unknown space and it’s okay if I’m trying to find my way but once I get on my feet and trust in me, I would be okay.


        When I think about this step, I think about a baby learning how to walk. They kick they feet then start crawling, then wobble on their feet may even fall down and start crying but they don’t allow fear to get in there way the try again. And why is that bc babies have no fear and that’s how I have to be like a BABY.

        Quote for this moment: Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it. Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield but to my own strength. Let me not cave in.
