Have you read the book Unglued
I was right.
I hate to admit it, but I *needed* this book. I have never considered myself an out of control person. But, I do NOT generally feel like I have control over my emotions. I feel like my whole being is swayed from day to day depending on my kids behavior, how well our school day goes, unkind words spoken to me from others, etc.
So, yes, you could say I have come unglued a time or two.
I have used this book exactly as Lysa describes using it…just for a few moments of inspiration and challenge in the morning. I love that there is a “thought for the day” each that that is just a small nugget of truth for me to ponder and take with me on my day.
Some of these thoughts for the day that have really resonated with me:
- The answer to keeping God’s power with me and working in me to produce self-control is letting His Word get inside me.
- Feelings are indicators, not dictators.
- Am I trying to prove I’m right or improve this relationship?
- I can be the unglued woman made gentle, patient and peaceful.
What about you? Do you struggle with coming unglued? Have you read this book? What makes you come unglued?

The main thing that makes me come unglued is when someone continues to pester me and won’t leave me alone when I ask them to leave me alone haha!

Candace, I come unglued way more than I’d like to admit. :/ I come unglued based on my kids’ behavior, how well school goes, and how unglued my house cleaning really is! I’d love to read this book as I’ve heard great things about it. Thanks 🙂

I am unglued most of the time it seems like. I have the book and love it (did the Proverbs 31 Online Study). I think what makes me come unglued the most is the lack of listening that seems to be going on quite a bit around me lately. That seems like one of the simplest things we can do, just listen, but seems to be the thing that right now I am seeing a lot of people having trouble with (including me). rondamb@gmail.com

I become unglued when the house gets out of control. Someone’s shoes in the foyer? A sink full of dirty dishes? UGH. It seems the messier my house is, the messier my life is.

I had a friend who read this book & said it was good so I’d love to read it. I become unglued when the house gets so messy and no one helps with cleaning things up (namely the hubby who is sitting there playing a video game or on his computer, ugh).

When Simon kicks when trying to get him dressed in the morning when we are already running late. (Not that this happens daily or anything)
We are actually reading Unglued in my Mom’s Bible Study right now. I’d love to have the devotional.

I do not handle my girls talking back to me very well at all. Not that I should tolerate but I definitely need to respond to them with a more Biblical approach and grace!

Thank you for the giveaway. I think what makes me come unglued is when I let routine go by the wayside and my schedule and house suffer. I let the craziness overtake my emotions.

For me it’s when the kids talk back or completely ignore me.
Lack of sleep does it for me. I have zero patience when I haven’t slept well (which is often it seems).
