Listen Later

What helps you make positive changes in your life, and what holds you back? Do you often feel overwhelmed to make desired changes until you have everything figured out? 

In this episode, Bonnie explores how we can apply the power of God's grace and let go of perfection.  Learn how grace enables us to embrace change even in our weaknesses. Learn to move forward with confidence, knowing that God's strength is perfected in our imperfections. Learn how God's grace is sufficient for us, and His power is made perfect in our weakness, knowing that God is with us and will support us every step of the way.

Tune into this episode to discover practical soul care tips based on science and scripture to apply grace in your life, hear a touching personal story, and receive a loving word of affirmation to soothe your soul.

Key Takeaways: 

1. Making changes with imperfection is a powerful path of living out God's grace in weakness
2. Look Back to See God's Faithfulness: Take time to reflect on your past experiences to build trust in God's support, giving you the courage to face new challenges with faith.
3. Reset Your Circadian Rhythm: If you're struggling with sleep, try resetting your circadian rhythm by getting sunlight in the morning. This can help you feel less groggy during the day and sleep better at night.
4. Make Single Small Steps with imperfections over time is more effective than waiting for "ideal" self to perform.
5. Focus on One Priority: When making changes, focus on one priority at a time instead of juggling multiple expectations to lower overwhelm and make steady progress towards wellness.

Breath Prayer:  (inhale) God's grace is sufficient for me. / (exhale) Your power is made perfect in weakness
Scriptures: "God's grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Cor 12:9
