Growing up as a Chinese American daughter of a mail-order bride and a busboy in San Francisco's Chinatown, Bonnie Gray never felt like she belonged. She spent her childhood hiding "Chinese Bonnie" who lived in a dysfunctional home in poverty, so she could be accepted as cheerful "American Bonnie" who lived a life that looked like everybody else's.
Bonnie joins me on the podcast today, and you'll hear how she made peace with her past and how it has changed everything about her future. As she was trying to throw away pieces of her past—the ones she thought no one wanted—she discovered God was tenderly gathering all the broken fragments to build a new story of faith and joy.
It's only when we learn to embrace the truth of our past that we can finally make sense of our present and celebrate what truly matters.
