Have you read the book Unglued by Lysa TerKeurst? I have been slowly reading it over a period of months…slowly because it was speaking right to me and I had to chew on bits of it for awhile. 🙂 Then, I was given the opportunity to review the devotional
that goes along with it from BookSneeze, and I knew I would love the devotional guide.
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?
